Do you dream in color? I'm not sure that I do or don't. That is, 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. As with any symbol,
only you can decide what the colors means to you.
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 -- healing and prosperity; an approval -- getting the
"green light"; the color of the (fourth) Heart Chakra
indigo -- purification and illumination; the color of the (sixth)
Brow Chakra (The Third Eye)
orange -- physical health and sexual vitality -- the color of the
(second) Sacral (Abdominal) Chakra
pink -- baby girls and feminine matters of the heart; healthy --
"in the pink"
red -- vitality and energy; heart; blood; anger or rage;
wickedness, raciness; the color of the (first) Root Chakra
silver -- reflections; memories; second place -- "silver medal"
violet (purple) -- the color of royalty and dignity; personal
transformation; the color of the (seventh) Crown Chakra
white -- cleanliness; purity; dignity
yellow -- power; warmth (sun); vigor and enthusiasm;
cowardice; the color of the (third) Solar Plexus Chakra
