From the I Ching Dream Interpretation:
In a man’s dream, the wife generally represents his actual spouse, with no symbolic significance. The relationship you share with your wife in a dream can also reflect your relationship with your mother or your inner feminine side, termed as “anima” in Jungian psychology.
Psychological Dream Interpretation:
Dreams about family reflect one’s sense of security and continuation of the lineage. Dream confrontations with family members are not just about the dream but also about the actual relationship with that person in waking life. Family dynamics can get affected by additions to the family.
Dreaming about one’s wife reflects the quality of the relationship, which often hinges on the man’s feelings. If he had a close, successful relationship with his mother during childhood, he would likely be a good husband in the dream. Loss of a wife or girlfriend in a dream is often equated to the loss of a mother.
Dream Case Study
Dream Example 1
Fang Ming has a friend he’s known since childhood, a man with an impressive appearance and family background. After getting married, Fang Ming became busy with his own life and lost touch with this friend. One night, he dreamt that his wife was intimate with this friend. When he confronted his wife in the dream, she seemed indifferent, as if nothing happened.
Dream Analysis: Dreaming of one’s spouse betraying, especially with such indifference, suggests that, at a subconscious level, the dreamer feels susceptible to temptations. The dreamer’s fears revolve around being disregarded or unloved by his wife. The root cause of this anxiety might be his inferiority complex, feeling that he cannot compare to his impressive friend. The dreamer’s sense of guilt and inferiority, stemming from his own vulnerabilities, manifest as distrust and suspicion. If he doesn’t address these feelings and regain his confidence, it might lead to unfavorable outcomes in real life.
Dream Example 2
In the dream, I experienced a noisy yet unexciting wedding. After that, I saw my wife, who appeared very tall and intimidating. She approached me aggressively, looking as if she wanted to hit me, which startled me awake. (Male, 16 years old)
Dream Analysis: At such a young age, dreaming of marriage can be neither good nor bad. However, dreaming of a wife who is assertive, like the “roaring lioness of the East” (a Chinese idiom referring to a dominant woman), implies that the dreamer’s future life might be comfortable and fulfilling. Despite her aggressive demeanor in the dream, such a wife often represents strength and capability.
