I don't recall specifically dreaming in color and yet I don't
remember dreaming in black and white either.
Generally speaking, about 1/3 of all dreams reported are
described as being in partial or full color -- with artists
claiming the highest proportion of dreaming in full color most
the time (obviously, color is important to them). The majority
of people claim, as I do, that they can't say for sure that their
dreams are in either color or black and white. So don't feel
bad, or strange, if you don't dream in color -- you're not alone.
What about those times that you are sure that an object in
your dream was definitely red or green or blue? What does it
mean? Colors, like other dream symbols, are very personal
and you must decide what the color means to you. For
instance, if your bedroom walls were green as a child then
dreaming of green walls may be a reference to your childhood.
As with other dream objects, some colors have a universal
significance. In addition, many eastern religions believe there
is an energy field flowing through the universe. There are
seven main points (chakras) in our body that vibrate to
different wavelengths of this energy (color). Each chakra
stimulates a gland in our endocrine system, thereby effecting
our health.
If you would like more information on chakras, leave a
comment in my guestbook or email me. If enough readers are
interested, I will be more than happy to share my knowledge.
The following are standard interpretations for different colors
and the chakras that are associated with them.
black -- evil; magic; sophistication; elegance
blue -- baby boys and masculinity; communication; the color of
the (fifth) Throat Chakra
gold -- a high state of illumination; wealth; first place -- "gold
medal"

"green light"; the color of the (fourth) Heart Chakra
indigo -- purification and illumination; the color of the (sixth)
Brow Chakra (The Third Eye)

(second) Sacral (Abdominal) Chakra
pink -- baby girls and feminine matters of the heart; healthy --
"in the pink"

wickedness, raciness; the color of the (first) Root Chakra
silver -- reflections; memories; second place -- "silver medal"

profess to be a dreamer -- in
every sense of the word,
because I dream and I have

dreams. I make no promises

you learn to interpret your

welcome to learn from my
