Because wedding planning takes up a lot of my waking hours these days, I suppose it was only natural that it invade my sleeping hours as well. However, I never imagined how vivid and how rapid fire they would be until I got hit with wedding nightmares twice in one week.
Read along and experience the horror with me!
Nightmare #1: It is my bachelorette party the night before the wedding. I am hanging out with a bunch of girls drinking it up and having a great old time when I decide that I need to do something crazy for my last night as a “single” lady.

My idea of a crazy thing? Getting a tattoo. But not just any tattoo. Dream me decides that the best one to get is a gigantic flaming bald eagle right across my chest, similar to the one pictured below (expect picture it much brighter and much larger.) For whatever reason, the tattoo artist doesn’t seem to notice or care that I have climbed into his chair drunk and holding a 40 in my hand and starts inking.

The morning of the wedding, I wake up sore and sober to discover the blazing bird tattooed across my tatas. In spite of my efforts to conceal it, I am forced to get married with the flaming wings sticking out from underneath my dress straps and a crazy looking eagle head popping out of my décolletage.
Nightmare #2: Even though I have had a bunch of fittings for my dress already, for some bizarre reason, it is in pieces when I go to pick it up. My mom and I do our best to sew the pieces together, but as I walk in it, it starts ripping away in chunks and I am left with something like this (except much less arty looking):

This last dream had me toss and turn in such a feverish manner that I woke up Mr. Hummingbird and almost fell onto the floor when I jolted up in bed. It also caused me to send an e-mail to my seamstress with a 3:20 AM timestamp. 
I am hoping tonight is a more peaceful and restful night, but since a lot of you ladies are approaching crunch time as well, I figured I’d ask - Have any of you had crazy wedding dreams yet? What were they about?
(Author’s Note: Mr. Hum also had a bad wedding dream which involved the font on the invitations being unreadable and everyone showing up for the wedding on the wrong day. Though he hasn’t mentioned it since, I have noticed during our invitation redesign that he is staying away from any of the scripty fonts.)

I am growing my hair out before the wedding. It has been over a year since it has been cut. I keep having nightmares that I chop it all off in a fit of insanity.
They sure would make good April Fools Day jokes! 
(if you did it to each other, that is)
Oh no!! Bad wedding dreams are the worst!
I had a wedding nightmare about 5 months ago that included a multitude of horrors, including everyone showing up in jeans, me forgetting my dress, us forgetting that we needed to feed everyone and scrounging for chinese takeout at the last moment, getting married in my uncles backyard that had a pretty pond except that someone borrowed (!?!) the pond and didn’t bring it back in time so instead it was a barren rocky hole in the ground and that my mom wasn’t there because she was too tired!…And as we get closer to the wedding I just keep having dreams that I’m in love with other people! I can’t win!
Last week, I had a dream (no, wait a nightmare) there was a hurricane during the ceremony, which had to be moved inside, and then in the midst of chaos I’m walking around in my dress and I finally look in the mirror, and I’ve got big poofy hair, tiara and teal eyeshadow. I went to my makeup/hair stylist and ask her why, and she says, “I thought that’s what you wanted!”
I tend to have what I call ‘anxiety’ dreams before big events. No fail before each of my half marathons I have had a crazy bizarre miss the start of the race dream. I always had the showing up to school naked on the first day dream:)
I did have at least one wedding nightmare leading up to it - I just can’t remember what it was. I really should journal these things - cause they are always pretty funny when you look back on it 
I just had my first wedding nightmare the other night! No one showed up to our wedding (not even the groom!) and I was upset because no one was going to use the photo booth.
…Sounds really scary, I know, but trust me. It was.
i went from having wedding nightmares to just not sleeping 
ummm yes. I had a nightmare that I was getting married by a pool and didn’t have a dress so my mother made me buy a white swimsuit and my groom black trunks and everyone was wearing swimsuits.
I dreamt my dress was altered to be short in front (like the photo you posted) and covered in pink sequins. Yikes!
I have a recurring nightmare that I am calling florists and bakeries the morning of ordering cake and flowers. I show up at the church (we aren’t even getting married at a Church!!!) and I have purple underware on and you can see through my dress. My BMs have on beautiful dresses, no shoes. I aks them why and they say its because I didn’t tell them what kind of shoes to wear! Control issues? Perhaps….
My dreams are weird enough without the stress of a wedding! In one of my wedding nightmare dreams my fiance and his friends decided to do Fight Club as the bachelor party the night before the wedding and he was all black and blue for the ceremony. I was screaming and very unsympathetic! I’m sure I’ll have many more of these as the big day gets closer…
I had one last night too! I have the same repetitive dream: time skips and it’s the wedding day. Not fast-forwards… skips. My wedding day is July 3, 2009 so I still have a lot of time, but I keep dreaming that time skips so on the wedding day I have nothing done. My hair looks bad, my bridesmaids are wearing my sister’s old lyrical costumes, I forgot the veil, the church forgot. Yikes.
[...] for weeks just poured out of me in my own unintelligible squeaky cry language. The lack of sleep. The wedding nightmares. The starting over with the bridesmaid dresses. The invitations deleting themselves. The four [...]
Ha ha I’m glad to hear that other people have this issue too! I keep having them where it’s the day of the wedding, I forgot to get my dress altered (and it looks dirty and ripped up), the flowers are exactly the opposite of what I wanted, half the vendors are missing, and I can’t find the groom (or I can find him and he doesn’t know where his tux is). LoL…I can only assume it’s jitters, but they are still nerve racking.
