Dowry

Interpretation

A dowry in your dream heralds a wedding or significant partnership. The gifts represent the history, skills, and values you contribute to union. Whether you are giving or receiving the dowry, the dream emphasizes reciprocity: both parties arrive with treasures worth honoring.

If the dowry feels heavy or obligatory, examine expectations that may need renegotiation. Joyful exchanges suggest enthusiasm about joining lives.

Common Meanings

• Presenting a dowry: Sharing your legacy with pride
• Receiving one: Feeling cherished and supported in commitment
• Questioning the dowry: Addressing imbalances before vows are made

Cultural Context

Dowries have symbolized familial blessing across cultures, though their forms vary widely. Your dream invites you to consider what emotional dowries—kindness, stability, wisdom—you bring to or seek in partnership.
