I dreamt I was at a cottage with a woman, not too sure…but it felt really good, and I felt confident about it. I remember seeing a really big furry moth pinned to the wall as an ornament. I remember seeing a pine tree outside and also seeing football on a tv we weren’t really watching. At one point we see a bear and remember being really scared, but it eventually left (possibly from watching the simpsons episode with ben that same night)

Afterwards, it is my wedding day. With (I think, the same woman) a woman named noor-e-par (Lebanese with persian roots and I myself am Lebanese) and she had black hair. “noor” in Arabic means “holy light” the other part, I’m not too sure…that part was Persian and I don’t know that language. The wedding was small and very poor and I had never met the woman before. I don’t remember seeing her vividly, but I remember glaring at her, I couldn’t really picture her well, but I remember the black hair. I remember telling my father about how this isn’t proper and I don’t have a ring to give her and so on. My father argued saying how this was not necessary and he proved to me that it wasn’t. Eventually I didn’t care and I barely spent any time with this woman. I was busy with my side of the family while she was with her friends. Than I remember taking a ferry FROM centre Island to Toronto, and on our way to port. I see people walking on water and I talk to them…commenting sarcastically.

Come near the end of the boat ride, I remember Danoush (my best friend) and call him last minute concerning the wedding and the arranged marriage. I forgot what his exact reaction was, but he seemed supportive.

Than, I remember standing on land again and the wedding is about to commence and she is still talking to her friends and I see her very quickly and I see the black hair.

I don’t remember much after, but the dream woke me up at 4:11 am AND I felt really good (maybe because it was the first dream I had about a woman that hasn’t had my stupid ex in it.

I think there may be more meaning in your last sentence: 'the first dream I had about a woman that hasn’t had my stupid ex in it' than one might think, even though it isn't actually part of the dream. It's how you felt as soon as you woke up, which to me suggests the main purpose of the dream. I guess you already thought of that too?

Was the woman's name significant in the dream do you think? You said what it means but I wonder if it's all tied up in the same idea of new hope and letting go of the past, the holy light and all that, or if it's just an ordinary name that you know the meaning of?

I asked a friend and "e-par" means "of wings"

so, devine light of wings....doesnt make much sense in either language. But at the same time, the rest of the dream i think had significance not only to being the first not consistent of the ex, but maybe my mind was trying to just release some stress. Providing me with a dream that made me feel good, BUT what i want to understand is the people walking on water and the arranged marriage with the woman i have never seen or heard of in my entire life.

Okay, I guess the bit you didn't know about her name, that part you had to ask about, is not significant - just the bit you did know. Obviously the walking on water has religious connotation, as does the woman's name, so I wonder if there is some connection there. Perhaps because you were being sarcastic to the people walking on water you have been wondering about religion recently, perhaps thinking it is rubbish? This is all assuming you connect people walking on water with something spiritual, Jesus or something - if you don't ever think about religion or know about Jesus then it may be something completely different. Even so, walking on water is a supernatural act whether it's religious or not.

I think because of your past relationship going wrong you may have been doubting the more spiritual side of life, love and so on - which is reflected in your sarcasm towards the walking on water people - and the arranged marriage to the 'holy light' is your subconscious's way of telling you that you need to be married (in the joining sense) more to spiritual thoughts in your life and not forget about them.

Second thought

There's also the possible connection between your relationship going wrong and your own self-doubts as to whether or not you can choose a partner on your own, that you are wondering if other people might be a better judge of who would be right for you. This doesn't mean it's true though, just that your dreaming mind is considering the possibility. I think this second thought is less likely than the first bit though, it may only apply if you never have spiritual thoughts and never think about holy spirits and religion.
