Personal symbolism
Elopement brings urgency and secrecy into a relationship, and the dream’s meaning changes with who leaves and who is affected. Your own elopement is linked with reputation or romantic disappointment, depending on whether you are married. A lover leaving with someone else centers on trust, while a friend’s disapproved match concerns news of an unhappy union. Consider whether the dream stirred fear, disapproval, or relief, and what questions about commitment or social expectations are present for you.
