Dreams Involving Colours

Most of us are aware of the fact that colours can affect our moods. Many people feel more peaceful and tranquil after seeing the colour blue while some may feel angered when they see the colour red.

If you dream of a particular colour, it can have a specific meaning. Listed below are some colours with generalised definitions of their dream meanings. However, you have to ask yourself what a colour specifically means to you to understand the full meaning. For example, what does that colour remind you of in your life? Perhaps your first car was red and you have fond memories of it. If you dream of something red, that can have a positive meaning.

Beige

Beige may represent that you have an impartial or unbiased position or opinion about something.

Black

Black in a dream is often symbolic of the unknown. It can stand for mystery, darkness, death, mourning, or the unconscious. It can also mean hate or malice. If you dream of the colours black and white together, your psyche may be trying to tell you that you need to be more objective when you make decisions. Perhaps you need to find a balance between two things from which you must choose.

Blue

Blue is a dream colour that represents tranquility, loyalty, and devotion. It can also by symbolic of the sky – openness, eternity, and heaven. If you see blue in your dream, it could be your spiritual guide. However, blue can be negative in that people often “feel blue,” so you may dream of blue if you are currently depressed.

On a positive note, red is also a deeply emotional colour and can have a spiritual meaning.
