RED: Color In Dreams Series© Lauri Jean Crowe
Typically the dreams we recall as a whole are in black and white or monochrome, but there are those who dream in vivid technicolor rainbows of the dreamscape almost every night. Still others will have only the occasional dream in color. Why? Some theorize that on a physical level, color in dreams is the result of electo-chemical interactions within the brain, and others think that dreams in color have something to do with the internal manifestations of visualization and personal creativity in our psyche. The following several articles will deal with the symbolic associations of color in dreams which can help you with analyzing your personal dream mythos. These associations are based on years of the author's own research and attention to detail of her own dreams as well as the research of many others whose dream tidbits on color she has collected over time. Each of you will have a different meaning for the color in your dreams, and each dream may have a different representation with color. You should also note that color will not always be obvious, it could be a redheaded woman, or a particular shade of blue sky, or the deep hues in the shadows of mountains which need interpretation, but we would accept these as common, not symbolic in some cases. When paying attention to your dreams, often it is what seems obvious that is not. Our first color is red:
As you can see, there are many converse meanings. On the one hand, you have the vitality of life blood, and the other the possibilities for both renewal and destruction of fire. Many associate red with danger and excitement, others with death and loss. Only you can tell which red association works for you based on your personal mythos which manifests in your dreams over time. You should write down color in your dream journal whenever it manifests. If you're one of those nightly vivid color dreamers, this may mean that you only note color that seems peculiar to your regular dreams. You may also want to note the shade of color. Was it a fire engine red, or a deep maroon? A watery red verging on pink or a more purple hued red? Over time you may find that the presence of the fire engine red means danger or warnings of some sort, and the purple hued red means a comforting warmth and strong feelings toward another person. You may also find the paired colors mean specific things to your dream realm. Go To Page: 1 2
