In the song "Just A Dream" by Carrie Underwood...?

Question

What does Just a Dream mean! i am soo confused! like i know she was at a wedding then a funeral and i just dont get it!

Answer 1

she meant that since the guy she was with was serving the country, they were in the funeral (i think b4 a wedding) she thought it was JUST A DREAM that everything was happening...like that he was dead

Answer 2

It's about a girl who was supposed to get married to this guy but he died before they could. She went to the funeral with his box of things in her wedding dress/veil. Have you ever had something so horrible happen that you just kept thinking 'this isn't happening. It's just a dream.'

Answer 3

As in military funerals(my father is military, so I know this), only the spouse of the deceased receives the flag.  If there is no spouse, then the parents receive it.  In this case, watching the video Carrie is the one to receive it.  I think that they DO in fact get married, and he is deployed and dies after.  This is my opinion based on the video!  But the Just a Dream part to me signifies that she can't believe that he has died and that it's only a dream.  That she'll wake up and he'll be alright and be next to her.

Answer 4

This is what I think...when it starts and she's driving to the church in her wedding dress - that part is a dream.  She's dreaming that she's going to marry the guy, but she's really at his funeral.  He was in the military and she never got to marry him or see him again.  She dreamt all these wonderful things about their life together, but in real life, he died.  How sad!!

Answer 5

She is supposed to be marrying her high school sweetheart that had joined the military and he dies before the wedding. She was trying to make herself feel better by telling herself its just a dream that she's going to his furneral and not their wedding.

Answer 6

she was engaged and was supposed to be having her wedding shortly, but then her fiance went off to war and was killed. and the "just a dream" part means that she's so sad and it can't be possibly happening to her so she thinks she is just dreaming.  watch the video on utube - i think that would help you, cuz i didn't get it at first, either. but isn't it a beautiful song???
