Color Dreams: What Do Colors in Dreams Mean?

Red, Blue, White, Black, Yellow, Purple, Green, Pink, Orange… Each Has it’s Own Meaning!

What Do Colors in Dreams Mean?

If you’ve landed on this page from our Dream Dictionary, then you are seeking to “flesh out” your dream. Think of yourself as a detective, looking for more clues!

First, an answer to an age-old question, “Do we dream in color?” Absolutely! The problem is that we often take colors for granted in our dreams – the sky is always blue and the grass is always green, so these details seldom stand out to us. It’s when they do stand out to us that we have to look at the meaning of the color, itself, even more so than the object because the object, itself, is probably simply a vehicle to represent the color.

Also see the “Final Word About Dream Colors” at the bottom of the page for more dream interpretation information.

Black. Black is a fascinating color in dreams because it can be symbolic of several contrasting things. Why? Because our vocabulary includes this striking color “across the board.” Black can symbolize beauty (Black is Beautiful), mystery (Bat-Man, Cat Woman…), and darkness. You have to look at the emotions within the dream. If the dream is of a black cat, the symbolism could go one of two ways – because “black cats” are, historically thought of as mysterious and bad luck, you could be cautious of something in your daily life. If, however, you’re like me and adore black cats, they could simply symbolize beauty and love. A black raven indicates mystery. Black clothing (like cats) also goes one of two ways – it can indicate a desire to “slim down” something in the dreamer’s life or it could indicate grief or loss.

Black hair and/or skin is indicative of beauty. Raven-Haired beauty, Tall, Dark and Handsome…

In westerns, before color came into play, villains and heroes were often distinguished by their color of hat. The “good guys” wore the light hats and the “bad guys” wore the dark hats. For this reason, if you dream of a white hat, it’s a positive vibe and if you dream of a black hat, your dream has a negative vibe.

Naturally, blue is also symbolic of “Heaven,” as we know Heaven lies beyond the sky. When we look Heavenward, we see the blue sky – which makes this particular color one of the most Spiritual colors. Dreaming of anything blue (particularly if is the color of the sky), often speaks to our Spiritual life. As with all dreams, you have to examine the overall “theme” or “vibe” of the dream, along with accompanying emotions to find your analysis or interpretation. If the vibes and emotions are negative, you probably feel that your Spiritual life (or that of someone you love) isn’t where you want it to be.

If your dream has positive emotions associated with it, the opposite is true – you feel at peace with your Spiritual side.

If the hue of blue is, say, Navy or another “variety” of blue, you may be seeking to express yourself differently – to stand out from the crowd, so to speak.

Brown. Brown is associated with brunettes, wood, expensive furniture, brown eyes, UPS, and many colors in nature. This is one of those colors where dreamers have to ask themselves, “What does brown symbolize for me?” Typically, brown is a comforting, steady color and this is where the dream interpretation begins. It indicates you are comfortable with life and with whatever it is you are dreaming of.

Coral. (also see orange) While coral is, generally speaking, a shade of orange, if you “registered” the color in your dream as “coral,” it may have an extra meaning. When we dream of special colors (that is to say colors which are not the primary colors on a color wheel), the entire complexion of our dream analysis changes. These dreams indicate a great desire to stand apart from the rest – to assert our individuality and to be acknowledged for doing so, thank you very much.

Gold. While the color gold could be considered a form of yellow, it is in its very own class when we’re looking at dream colors. The reason for this is that it has its own meaning – and it’s a potent one, at that. Gold symbolizes wealth and is, generally, considered the ultimate “find” or “goal.” Because of this, gold in a dream often indicates the dreamer is either looking for something valuable to him/her or feels they have already found (or been handed) something “golden” – like an opportunity.

Gold can also symbolize a wedding ring or engagement ring. Many individuals who are either planning a wedding or wish they had a wedding to plan dream of gold as a symbolism of wedding rings.

Green. Similar to blue and brown, green is a color we associate with nature. Green is perceived as a calm, tranquil color and dreaming of green usually reflects these symbols. More times than not, dreaming of green symbolizes harmony and a feeling of peacefulness.

Green can also indicate envy (green-eyed monster) and money (obvious reasons). The dreamer has to examine their dream’s details and emotions to determine which of these meanings green represents in their dream.

Before you think an envy dream is 100% bad, see what envy dreams mean in our dream dictionary.

Orange. Fun times! Dreaming of orange is kind of like a trip to the carnival. It denotes playfulness and happiness. As with all colors, you need to ask yourself what this color means to you. If, say, you are a Baltimore Orioles fan, this may symbolize your team or baseball for you. If you dream of orange fruit, it is probably more about the fruit than the color.

I mean, what other color is an orange going to be?!

Red. Red is, above all else, symbolizes feelings of NOTICE ME! PAY ATTENTION! It’s a color that refuses to be ignored. Dreaming of red could mean your subconscious mind is telling you that you’re ignoring something (someone?) very important and that you need to pay attention.

Red can also represent blood. This could indicate a fear of illness or injury – it could also be the brain’s way of acknowledging or reliving a recent injury or brush with danger.

For Christians, such as myself, the blood of Jesus is a very Spiritual symbol and could speak of Spiritual matters.

Red can also indicate beautiful red hair or a certain red-head in your life.

Because of Valentine’s Day hearts, red can indicate love and romance as well.

Silver. I’ll just admit it, right up front, silver is a hard one to wrap dream analysis fingers around. It can go so many different ways! We’ll run them down and you can determine, yourself, which analysis best fits your situation.

White. White, generally speaking, stands for purity (snow), peacefulness (dove), and freedom (clouds). It can also stand for cleansing – think of bleaching laundry, for example. When bleach is added to whites, it removes all traces of dirt and the result is a blindingly white garment. Dreaming of white can indicate cleanliness or cleansing – one that has taken place or one the dreamer feels needs to take place.

Yellow. Yellow indicates happiness and even playfulness. It’s one of the most cheerful colors and to see it in a dream usually indicates the dreamer is in good humor!

The Meaning of Colors in Dreams

Our dreams can mean and suggest many things. However, this article will be focusing on the meaning of particular colors that are in our dreams.

Dreams can be baffling, confusing, sometimes disturbing, but ultimately fascinating. They are the result of the depths of the unconscious mind, which includes desires and suppressed or repressed elements of us which manifest themselves in our dreams.

Below I will go into the possible meanings of the colors in our dreams. I say possible because it’s perhaps impossible to be accurate all the time, due to people’s personal experiences and associations with certain colors.

Dreams are also influenced by short-term situations or events. For example, if you saw a yellow construction vehicle on a particular day, perhaps something happened that made it stick in your mind or grabbed your attention. You may dream of yellow, simply because of that particular observation or event, and it may have no meaning other than that. However, other times it may suggest a deep psychological meaning.

Dream Interpretation

Some of the greatest minds in the world of psychology have studied dream interpretation, including Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Sigmund Freud believed that all dreams, either directly or indirectly, are a form of wish fulfillment, of either something that we desire consciously, but cannot have, or a repressed unconscious desire. Wish fulfillment is definitely a common explanation which most of us can relate to.

However, a deeper dream analysis reveals a few other possible explanations. Carl Jung’s studies in dream analysis provided a few other explanations of the meanings of dreams. Symbols that stem from the collective unconscious are one of these possible meanings. Some of the associations that we make with color could be deeply embedded into our unconscious minds at a collective level.

What lies in the collective unconscious is what is known as the archetypes. Archetypes are types of behaviors, understandings, personalities, symbolic meanings and associations that are embedded into our actual biology. This means we are born with certain understandings, connections and even stories.

This could be why so many symbolic meanings that we have to colors are universal, and span different countries and cultures.

Meaning of Colors in Dreams

Red – Danger, Aggression, Anger, Passion and Blood.

Dreaming of red could be symbolic for feeling anger, aggression or passion in the waking world. It may also be connected to fear, danger, or related to injury or a wound.

Green – Tranquility, Healing, Nature, Life and Plant Life.

Dreaming of green could be the result of your unconscious telling you, you need a break and to become one with nature, for a short time at least.

Blue – Peacefulness, Sky and Ocean.

Dreaming of blue, like green may suggest a desire for peace, to get away from it all. Perhaps your unconscious is telling you to take a break and enjoy the tranquility of the ocean.

Pink – Nurture, Compassion, Romance and Love.

Dreaming of pink likely has strong connections to nurturing and the womb, which could suggest a readiness or desire for becoming a parent.

Purple – Spiritual and Intuitive.

Dreaming of purple could possibly mean you have been engaging in some deep intuitive or spiritual thinking, or if you haven’t, perhaps you should be.

Yellow – Sun, Happiness and Positivity.

Dreaming of yellow could be a dream manifestation of your current positive feelings, or outlook. Perhaps it is the symbolic meaning of energy, either you have plenty of it, or you desire it.

Gray – Neutrality, Indecisive and Uncommitted.

Dreaming of gray my suggest indecision in the waking world, or a fear of commitment, or perhaps a desire to sit on the fence.

White – Openness, Purity, Innocence and New Beginnings.

Dreaming of white could suggest you’re looking for new opportunities or a fresh start. It could also be a dream manifestation of your desires for perfection, purity or cleanliness.

Black – Mystery, Hidden and the Unknown.

Dreaming of black or darkness often represents the unconscious mind, particularly the repressed elements of it. There may be suppressed or repressed elements of yourself that you need to bring into the light.

If your dream did involve any of these colors in any meaningful way, it could indicate a desire, or perhaps fear that you may have, probably at the unconscious level. Dreams can also be the result of the unconscious mind compensating for something, maybe you didn’t express an emotion or reaction. Your dreams are perhaps attempting to compensate for that action, inaction or unconscious desire.

You may have some strong personal associations as well, possibly due to personal experiences and different cultures. If you’re aware of any strong personal associations, they should also be considered during your dream analysis.

Sometimes the reasons for dreams are obvious to us, we can sometimes make clear connections to a daily event or occurrence. The reasons can be conscious to us, but sometimes they are not so obvious. This could be because it is originating from the unconscious, it could be something that is repressed.

Dreaming of Red – Hidden Meaning Example

If you had a dream which included the color red, but you cannot relate it to any common association with that color. This maybe because certain feelings have been suppressed, for example, anger or aggressive feelings.

Some of us don’t want to admit that we have any negative feelings. These negative feelings can be cast out from our personas, and relegated to our unconscious mind, where they remain hidden to us, only showing themselves in our dreams.

Do People Dream in Color?

There is a big debate about whether people dream in color or in black and white. There are many studies about dreams, but when you think about it, nobody can get into somebody’s head and investigate.

We can never see what others are seeing in their dreams and this makes it impossible for us to see what others are dreaming.

We gather information about dreams by experiences of others and also by monitoring the brain activity when we are asleep, but when it comes to color it is hard to know whether someone really had a dream in black and white or in color.

Most studies, earlier ones, reported that people dream in black and white, or at least a lot of people believed that they dream in black and white. But most recent studies and experiences suggest that people don’t only dream in black and white but also in color too.

Most of people forget their dreams and remember only small fragments of those dreams that occur during the REM phase.

Other dreams and all of the objects and situations are only a faded memory and we can’t really say whether the dream was in black and white o in color.

On the other hand, there are times when we can identify an object and its color very clearly, but this happens rarely.

Another study found out that the majority of younger people dreams in color, while older people dream in black and white more often. When you think about your dreams, you will realize that it is hard to determine if you were dreaming in color or in black and white.

This is why it is so hard for researchers to gather information and tell us facts about dreams.

Dreams are an area in life that we need to research a little bit more, but because it is so tightly close to every individual by itself, it is hard to generalize any kind of definition or find any kind of general statement that will cover all cases and all dreams.

Influence of the modern technology

Another interesting study about dreams suggests that, TV’s computers and other modern technology is influencing our dreams greatly.

Back in the day, when people only had black and white TV’s, they usually dreamed in black and white, even though they could see and experience color in real life, on daily basis.

And today, we have a much more vivid representation of reality, on TV’s, in movies and all the other modern gadgets, and being engaged with this technology from day to day influences our dreams.

Contrary to this study, are experiences from real people. Some of them still claim that they dream only in black and white while others say they dream in color.

Whatever your opinion might be, it is evident that color in modern technology had influenced our lives in some way or another.

Dreams in black and white

Many theories actually suggest that people tend to dream in black and white, when something traumatic happens to them.

People who dream in black and white, or who reported that they dream without recognizing any color is very small.

Only a small percentage of people tend to dream without colors while the rest see vivid colors in their dreams or they are at least aware of a certain color in their dream.

Some researches gathered people who have been through a rough period in life and asked questions about their dreams.

A big majority of them reported that they dream only in black and white or that they see some shades of grey.

Their dreams pretty much look like black and white movies.

After they got back on their feet and overcame that hard period, they started dreaming in color once again.

These people also never dreamed in black and white before, but somehow their emotions got connected to their dreams and their subconscious.

Meaning of colors in dreams

Colors in dreams can have a strong meaning and symbolism. Sometimes colors are a good representation of what is happening to us and how we should understand the situation we are dreaming about.

For example, dreams about color blue represent a positive sign. If you had a dream about someone wearing the color blue, then this means your dreams are going to come true.

If you had a dream about color green, then this color symbolizes blessings in life that you will receive from someone or simply as a reward for your good deeds.

Crimson color represents power and great ability to fight against everything and everybody.

This is a very powerful color in general, so any dream with this color in it will carry an important message within.

Black brings negativity in your dreams. We usually dream in black and white when we are feeling down and these color, by themselves, are already a good representation of how we feel inside.

For example, there is a big difference in dreaming about a colorful garden and a garden with only black and white flowers.

The colorful one makes us feel good and positive, while the other one makes us feel negative.

Dreams definitely have a strong impact on our lives and they can drag out even those things we completely forgot about.

They make us think about things that we thought weren’t important, so this is why you should be more in tune with yourself and your inner most covered thoughts, that always get brought out to the light in our dreams.

Color Meanings in Dreams: What Does Dreaming in Color Mean?

In our waking state, colors stimulate emotions. Similarly, colors also stimulate emotions in dreams. Scientific REM studies have proven that we tend to dream in colors, but we do not always recall them. The meaning of colors in dreams is not just indicative of the dreamers’ emotional state, but also their personality traits.

In this guide, we will study the fascinating meaning of colors in dreams.

Dreaming in Color

According to Robert Hoss who has extensively studied the significance of color meanings in dreams and its interpretations, dreams are characterized by the following aspects:

Color Meanings in Dreams

Based on his studies, Hoss interpreted and attached the following meanings to color in dreams.

Dreaming of the color red can indicate something intense, vital, animated, feeling sexy or having sensual urges, feeling the need to go out, to feel assertive or forceful or having inflammation or injury.

Orange

If you dream of the color orange you may get the feeling of shaking off shackles, widening your sphere of influence, restlessness, driven by desires and hopes, wanting more contact with others.

Yellow

Yellow colors in dreams might indicate: seeking solution, feeling hope about the future, trying to find a way out of certain circumstances or situations, needing a change for relief.

Green

The color green means a need to establish yourself, wanting recognition, maintaining control of events, wanting what is due, wanting routine without changes, needing money for security, needing healing or better health.

Tranquility, peace and quietness is what the color blue can be interpreted as in dreams. It also means needing rest, a relationship where the dreamer feels trusted and also feeling the need to belong.

Violet

The color violet means many different things in dreams such as mystic union with someone or something, magical state where wishes are fulfilled, intimate or erotic feelings and even heightened intuition.

Brown

In dreams, the color gray is symbolic of being neutral or an observer. Gray means shielding yourself from situations and commitments, and going through the motions without emotional involvement. It is also indicative of the person trying to escape anxious situations or an urge that the dreamer usually cannot identify.

Black

Nothing is more complex than the interpretation of black color meanings in dreams. Shiny and luxurious black colors refer to going deep within oneself so that the new self can emerge. However, a dream wherein the dreamer moves into the darkness or blackness means that he is undergoing a personality change, or that certain situations in his life has made him feel threatened, or fate has dealt him/her a blow. The color black is also a representation of the unconscious.

White

White in dreams can be interpreted as newness, new beginnings, new awareness, or feeling open and accepting, unprepared, alone or isolated.

Biblical Color Meanings in Dreams

According to Jewish and Christian scholars, dreams are a way in which God speaks to the dreamer. Accordingly, there are many biblical color meanings in dreams.

We hope these color meanings help you interpret what your dreams are saying.

Color Meanings In Dreams

Colorful Dream Interpretation: Color meanings in dreams can be very telling about what’s going on in the deepest waters that stir within us. If you’re reading this page, odds are you have a genuine curiosity and interest in dream meanings. You’ve likely already got a good grip on the concept of dreams reflecting deeper meaning in your life experience.

Adding color meanings to dream interpretation adds another layer of understanding. For example, if we’re dreaming of lizards, the color of the lizard will indicate another facet to our dream interpretation.

“Dreams lift us from the commonplace of life.”

Another example of color meanings in dreams: Some people dream of auras, and these impressions often lead to real-time solutions. I’m thinking of a friend of mine who continually dreamed about her partner having glowing red auras around her hands. To my friend, this meant her partner would be taking the next step in her healing practice. The very next week, her partner was offered a lucrative position in a holistic healing center.

In this instance, the color red was a very specific detail in her dream interpretation. My friend associates heat felt in the hands when conducting (hands on) healing. To her, the color red was a cue her partner’s healing practice would ‘heat up’ and it meant her healing abilities would be activated.

What about those of you who don’t dream in color? No worries. If your dreams are in black and white (grayscale) this is meaningful too (and I discuss that at the end of this page).

Here are a few personal thoughts on color meanings in dreams. As always, only mentally take what appeals to you, and ditch the rest.

Your dream meanings are unique to you. No one can accurately pin-point the deeper message of a dream but you. Dreams are intensely personal – it only makes sense that you are your best interpreter.

“The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts.”

Color Meanings In Dreams: The Break-Down

Meaning of Red in Dreams

Red:
Dreaming of red is about activation, physicality, passion and intensity. In the chakras red is the root, it’s a primitive energy that expresses itself in terms of survival and prime instinct. Consider the deep blood red that runs through our veins. Life-affirming, flowing, and activating our energy on a very base, physical level. Red is the root that runs through our psyche. It speaks to us of dormant power. Consider fire. It requires an igniting action. The capability of fire is all around us, but it takes a spark to release the power. I particularly love the symbolism of volcanoes when contemplating color meanings in dreams. The red hot energy is always there, just under the surface. What provokes that heat into resurfacing is key.

Orange Meaning in Dreams

Orange:
Orange in dreams is a sign of equalization, balance and temperance. Orange stands stoically between the raging initiations of red, and the themes awareness/realizations of yellow. It is not entirely physical and not completely mental. Orange is the fulcrum and our perception the teeter-totter. When we dream in oranges, we are asked to consider what is in-balance (or need of balance) in our lives. Orange offers messages of harmony and contentment too – often achieved through a specific (sometimes lengthy) cycle of time. Orange also asks us to build up our immunity, freshen up our routines and engage in practices that enhance our daily lives.

On a personal note, I think of pumpkins when my clients tell me they’ve dreamed in orange. Pumpkins speak to me of manifestation – from tilling soil, to planting seed, to tending the plant, and then harvesting. In other words, actions over a period of time lead to specific results.

Yellow Meaning in Dreams

Yellow:
Yellow color meanings in dreams radiates themes of centralization, focus, awareness and reminds us of our role as humans within the context of the whole. Consider the yellow tones of the sun, and how central this star is to our existence. Consider the center (solar plexus) chakra which is also yellow and governs our will and even our sense of identity. Some of the first flowers to burst out of a long dormancy are yellow (dandelions, daffodils), this screams to me about awakening – resurfacing – becoming aware (maybe for the first time) of the larger picture of life.

Yellow is the color of intelligent design, and when we dream in yellow it reflects a special kind of clarity. Yellow is a bright idea, and an epiphany on a grand scale. When we dream of yellow, our deeper consciousness is paving the way (yellow brick road?) to a path of higher understanding and mystical awareness. Yellow centralizes our energetic focus so that we may intensify our presence. That intensity then radiates outward – just as the light of the sun does. Effectually, dreaming of yellow indicates a time of intelligent reflection in which we are influencing the world around us in amazing ways.

Green Meaning in Dreams

Green:
Color meanings of green in dreams often point us in the direction of growth, healing, love, giving, and inspiration. Green corresponds with the heart chakra, which governs passion, love and healing. The Anahata is associated with the element of air, and so we see a different kind of love than what we experience in the primal red hues. Green is symbolic of communicating care on a subtle, energetic level. When we dream of green, we are imbued with a magical ability to transfer knowledge by unorthodox means. Green facilitates growth, love and healing by mental stimulation. Greeks believed intelligence came from the heart.

This combined with the green of the heart chakra talks to us about emotional intelligence and communicating with an open heart. I realize I’m being vague here, this kind of ethereal communication isn’t easily identified. However, we can look to mother nature for help in explanation. She speaks in a green tongue – communicating a sea of burgeoning growth – all expressed by the color green. When we dream of green we’re experiencing levels of healing and growth that are subtle. It’s time to concentrate on the areas of our lives that need to flourish. Once we hone in, and begin to express our identification on an emotional (heart) level, our growth will be exponential and immense.

Blue Meaning in Dreams

Blue:
The color meanings of blue in dreams point to thoughts, ideas, dreams and the ability to convey them. I’ve got a lot of artists as clients, and overwhelmingly, these brilliant minds feel, think and dream predominantly in hues of blue. I believe it’s because their prime motivation is to effectively convey their visions to the world. These artists find purpose in expressing their ideas through remarkably profound (and creative) methods. That’s what the color blue asks us to do. Consider the skies overhead. This atmosphere is symbolic of vast, endless opportunities for discovery, renewal and expression.

As humans, our attempt to define, project, perceive and share this vastness is innate. We’ve got to take it all in, process, and then tell everybody we know about it (art, music, literature, even social media are all testimonies to our need to share our perceptions creatively). So, when we dream in swirling blue hues, it’s often a sign of our ability to tap into the vast mysteries of life. That’s step one. The other step our blue dreams ask of us it to interpret these mysteries and share them with our environment. Blue dreams remind us that opinions and perceptions can be run on a neuro-network…a path of interchange and exchange.

Indigo Meaning in Dreams

Indigo:
Indigo color meanings in dreams are about psychic tuning, contacting the ephemeral, and connecting with spiritual vision. Indigo goes deep, real deep. Therefore, deep minds will dream in indigo as a message that indeed, there is no end to the proverbial rabbit hole experienced by Alice in her Wonderland. Indigo is the wonderland, and once submerged in the oceanic waves of extrasensory perception, there is no limit to the non-linear knowledge that can be obtained. It sounds heavy because it is. Dreaming in indigo marks the consciousness’ ability to dive far deeper than what daily reality holds.

If you’re dreaming of indigo, next time make a conscious (lucid) effort to dive even deeper, push the limits – and you will find there is no end to the startling revelations available to your perception. Indigo dreams are initiations into a world where common rules and conventionalism will not apply. Consider the deepest, darkest depths of the Marianas trench – far deeper than this is the capacity of the psychic mind. Dive in, there’s endless treasures to be found in the dreamy realm of indigo.

Violet Meaning in Dreams

Violet:
Color meanings of violet dreams indicate divinity, peace, tranquility and enlightenment. I hesitate to even use that word “enlightenment” because it’s tossed around so haphazardly. We’re talking about a devout presence of knowing in violet hued dreams. It’s as if higher wisdom is a personality of its own, and it presence is standing within your body – thinking – knowing – watching – independently yet separately. It’s a sensational experience, and violet dreams are a glimpse inside that kind of awareness-phenomenon. Violet is about blossoming and opening up to new, unconventional experiences.

It’s chakra is the crown, and is depicted as a thousand-petal lotus unfurling its luscious body to drink in all the sensations available to it. And, the key is everything is available for the lotus sensory organ to devour. Violet dreams mark the union of the soul with body, mind and divine consciousness. With this kind of conjugation comes bliss, satisfaction, and rest. These are fleeting moments…swim in them loosely for as long as you can. The more we swim in violet energies, the more we’ll experience this lucid presence of knowing. So, if you have violet dreams, appreciate every square inch of them, because they are a real gift from the divine source.

Black and White Meaning in Dreams

Black and White:
Dreaming in black and white is just as deep in meaning as dreaming in color.

Dreaming in black and white indicates a heavy reliance on structure, uniformity and order. Black and white dreams point to a distinct separation between reality and fantasy. Some of my colleagues encourage integration of right and left-mind behaviors when they learn their clients dream only in black and white. I’m not sure I agree. I’m more inclined to explore the shadows, and values in the black and white and mine the meaning from that landscape rather than learn another method of dream expression.

Black and white dreams can offer crystalline perspectives. They offer fewer distractions so the purity of meaning can be more easily sought. Furthermore, black and white dreams offer a crisp, clean beauty that is incredibly remarkable to the exploring mind.

I notice I have black and white dreams when my inner awareness needs me to recognize the facts about the situation. No fluff, no baloney. Black and white dreams give me a “newspaper” understanding of the events playing out in my present life. They are extremely easy for me to interpret. Straight forward, chronological, and orderly.

hese are just some thoughts wrought from my own dream-color experiences. I hope these dream interpretations of color meanings has been helpful for you.

I would encourage you to explore the realm of color meanings, as well as black and white meanings in your dreams and discover your own understanding of this facet of deeper interpretation.

I hope you have enjoyed browsing through these dreamy colors. For similar articles, be sure to check out the links on this page. Thanks for reading, and keep dreaming! May all your dreams be wildly colorful.
