Dreams of a ceremony represent an initiation or completion of a chapter of your life. Perhaps you are celebrating or honoring a rite of passage from one incarnation to the next.
To ceremonialize something in waking life or in your dream is to make it sacred and to evoke your higher nature. Dreams of a ceremony also represent that you are bringing your focus to a particular commitment.
