I was talking to a couple of friends, a man and a woman, about dreams. I was telling him that I've dreamed about getting married, and he looked at me like I had three heads. I asked him what was wrong, and he says "You dream about getting married? That's weird!" Naturally I asked whether or not he dreams of getting married and he told me no, never. I asked her about it, and she said yes, she's had that dream and described her princess-like gown. I smiled, knowing exactly what she meant, and he stared at us like we were speaking a dead language. Then he informed me that men don't dream about getting married. Now, I was curious.
I called my cousin and asked her. She said she'd only heard of men dreaming about getting married if they were nervous, you know, cold feet. So I asked another male friend of mine, and told me that no, never about getting married, but he has dreamed about already being married. Ok. So now the women are 3-3 and the men are 0-2. I asked a few more guy friends and the responses I got were nearly the same, "Never in my life. Sounds more like a nitemare."
Another male friend responded, that he dreams about marrying Alicia Keys every night, but when I asked him be serious about this because I was doing research, and he said, "But on a serious note, I think it's because marriage is viewed more as a time for a women to become princesses. For me, I think it's viewed as another day, until! they see the woman walk down the aisle..."
I just asked yet another male friend with me, "No. Never happens."
On the other hand, most of my women friends have been dreaming about that day for as long as they can remember. They know all the details from the cut of the dress to the flavor of the cake, who's invited, and how the venue will be lit. I, personally, don't ever see the groom, he's there, but I can't see his face, but I know what he's wearing.
Wow.
So men don't seem to dream about getting married.
