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. 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:.
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. 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 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.
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. 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. The color brown in dreams is usually represented as the dreamer seeking physical comforts through food, sleep, sex etc.
In dreams, the color gray is symbolic of being neutral or an observer. I could watch the snake from my door. My children were with me. I did the same thing as I watched the snake hide to attack a mother and children walking in the grass. Both people escaped the snake. I woke up choking. I have been having dreams of the dead for a month now. I had them alot when I was a kid but now I fear they are back. He deceased are typically in white clothing. But a cat had came to me; she is a black cat with vibrant blue eyes.
I dreamt of two snakes they were black and brown. One was big and one was small. They were always together and I knew they were there. What could this signify? I think i can help you with that.
Cats in general are sneaky animals, secretive but friendly. This is what your dream means: your daddy needs to be careful with those he considers as close friends. Otherwise, they will set him up for trouble. I woke up from a dream were I was being bitten by a red , cobra like kinda snake in my left ring finger in my bed room as I try to evade from it..
And the venom began to swell some of my muscles.. I often have dreams in which prominent items are rich red and gold. A dream of waking in a room with rich red tapestry with gold in it. I recently had one in which I was evaluating the clothing I had chosen—a black jacket with yellow pants.

Your wife in the photos with another man, perhaps your mind is preparing you to see her with someone else. Becoming less attached. Last night I had a dream of mixed colors of sand. I was exploring the sand with my hands and the more I mix it with my hands I saw different colors and the sand was very soft and in my dream I liked watching and touching the sand seeing these beautifull mixed colors, blue, green, purple,pink. So I had a dream of a pink and yellow snake and those two are my favorite colors.
I never touch the snake in my dream but I remember the snake coming next to me and just looking at me. The ppl in my dream who I have no clue of who they were was petting the snake. Can you tell me what this dream means. I dreamed of a black and white hat, in my dream my deceased husband wanted to take the hat away from me, what could that possibly mean? You husband wants you to move on and be happy. Stop mourning him. Stop being sad. He wants that black hat be gone. The white hat itself shows some positivity ahead of you..
Leave the past behind wich is the black hat with sad memories. I had a dream three color of snake silver,green and light blue or its is torquise..
I had a dream last night that I was some where picking out a new kitten and at first I had my mind set a a pure long haired gray one. Then I dont know what made me change my mind but I got an orange one instead and the gray kitten sat on the floor steering at me and it made me feel guilty but I let with the orange one. What could this mean? Hey Valerie! Hope this helps! Gold, I dreamt about some one trying to steal my white car with 2 gold stripes, it was a convertible and they had a huge white gun that had a fugifilm camera on it.
I saw my relative is giving me a maroon coloured expensive looking scarf with a fawn border. I choose a fawn dress with a maroon scarf. I tried to walk through it but got bit on the leg. The snake was no longer than a foot and solid white, almost albinoish. I started swelling right away and could barely talk because my tongue had swollen so much and I knew I would die.
Any help? A snake that looked like a copperhead was in my home I chased it around trying to kill it threw a tv on it thought I got it.. I chased it there and then I was standing in water with the much larger snake in water to my left and then a wet small black,white and gray kitten to the right in water standing..
WOKE up. I dreamt that I was asked to come quickly to help out someone in trouble. On my way I saw Prince up like on a stage dressed all in yellow.
I hesitated because it was Prince. I finally about after minutes left to go help or see what was happening, why was I being pulled. This all took place outdoors. Not sure what to make of the dream. If anyone has insight or a hint of my dream.
I dreamt a huge cream snake rushed down the street and tried to attack me my son and another family member but no matter how it did or tried to bite it was like it there was no damage. I ended up fighting the snake and managed to grab it by the mouth and started to fold it back inside out. What does that mean? I saw a dream where we going to attend to wedding ceremony by I n my Husb is in casual dress he drink lot so I take care BT another side all people is in white dress DAT someone is dead n the marriage is cancle n I wake up what its mens.
I had a dream that I was on a game show and had to crawl past an alligator through a tunnel, to win. My boyfriend was behind me and I told him to go through the guest exit.
I had one tactic to drop a giant stuffed gorilla on the alligator when it attacked me but I dropped the stuffed gorilla too soon, as I saw it was going after my boyfriend. After I made a dash for the tunnel, the alligator bit onto my arm and I threw it over the side and waited for it to fall off my arm. After I sprinted through the tunnel and won the game but the alligator came in and was bright shiny white with small green stars on it.
I was petting it because I felt bad for it that it lost, and I asked it if it had a mate. So I petted it and then woke up. I had a dream that someone i know who i stopped talking to was standing in front of me was getting mad at me and then this black mass came out of her skin and she turned all black what does that mean.
In my dream, alligators or crocodiles kept appearing in front of me and at the bottom of my feet and I had no where to go. They were camouflaged in the ground. I was in the woods. I was really scared. I had dream of a crocodile or alligator, it appeared in the dirty water and It was also brown in colour a friend of mine was also.
The second time it was crocodiles or alligators again they were small in size, sky blue in colour. I was bit scared but i was sitting next to them watching them. Anyone knows the meaning? And a brand new black which looked like a modern version of the Jag types sports car. The other night I woke up from a dreams about having to walk in a road that was half blocked by machines cutting down sunflowers.
It was so sad. I didn't pick one up, but just kept walking with my daughter Another dream was about picking up sticks in the woods, but woke before anything really "happened" in my dream. But still We have a wooded labyrinth where I live, so I must walk it more often than I do.
It may help me figure out what some of my dreams are telling me. I am sorry--I was ill and got way behind on my HubPages work. Thanks for all the great comments. SueB--I get all my photos from Wikimedia Commons. It's a repository of photos and media that are all in the public domain. You can find absolutely fabulous stuff there. I don't know what I'd do without it.
I am of the opinion that dreams can mean all manner of things. I don't think they are one of life's great mysteries. I write what I write as a starting point for dream investigation, not as a bottom line meaning.
I can't imagine anything worse than a one size fits all dream interpretation! I enjoyed reading your hub and looking at the photos, awesome! I don't know if I will keep a dream journal but there are certain color dreams that I do remember in the morning.
Now I will be more aware heheheh. Congratulations on your Hubnuggets nomination from ripplemaker and the Hubnuggets team. Best of luck! Absolutely fascinating hub, Esme. For my writing, I often like to record my dreams, and will have to start consulting with your hub to determine the meanings of the colors that appear. I find the dreaming in black-and-white bit particularly intriguing - I'd never heard that before.
Congratulations on your hubnugget nomination. I studied the psychology of colour in a psych course-waking life. Colors are fascinating. I enjoyed reading this because it meant so much. To learn new things even if you do not necessarily believe in them is what life is all about and I well, I am a dreamer, I believe in everything.
So I assume you suggest a dream journal for me. I will from now on. I remembered my dreams here and there throughout my life. It wasn't until I started a dream journal that I improved my dream recall. Every morning I would type out what I could recall from a dream. Sometimes it was just one image, a color, a feeling, a sound other times it was a full dream. I noticed over time I recalled long dreams almost every night and what I could recall was becoming more detailed and the dreams were getting longer and longer.
What I found fascinating is that there seems to be a physical reason why we forget dreams- recalling so much dream content was exhausting for me! Once I stopped typing them out routinely every morning I began to recall less and less. I journaled for two years and it taught me that our dreams are a lot richer than we realize and the dreams we actually recall are just the tip of the iceberg.
While you might not describe the dream as being exactly in black and white, it may simply feel colourless, with no colours seeming to stick in your memory. The more practiced you get at recalling your dreams, the more likely you are to remember vivid colours in them. People who work in very visual fields, such as artists, graphic designers, fashion designers, merchandisers, interior decorators and film-makers, are likely to have very colourful dreams.
So too are people who pay close attention to the world around them, like writers, journalists, naturalists, surveyors and scientists, or anyone with a keen interest in the details of the world. Children, who are very inquisitive and imaginative, frequently report vivid colours in dreams. Sometimes, to noticeably dream in black and white, as if you were watching an old movie, may relate to issues arising from early childhood or even memories of older family members.
In this context, the black-and-white element of the dream may be a visual history. Colour in dreams is best contextualised with regard to whether or not one particular colour stands out and what this relates to.
In general, colours in dreams can help provide an emotional framework. The colours that you take note of can reveal which feelings are important in a present situation. Combining colour with a symbol within a dream can add a layer of meaning to the symbol.
For example, if clothes reveal how you wish to express yourself in the world, the colour of those clothes can help reveal what it is you wish to express. The colour of a car may symbolise the kind of energy and emotions that are driving you at present. Sometimes, in a dream, a colour can capture your attention because it is obviously wrong.
You may see a green sky, a pink elephant or blue blood. Sometimes you may be left with a strong impression of a colour that seemed to wash through the dream. This could be a lingering sense of golden light or a deep purple richness, for instance. Alternatively, you may notice nothing in the dream is coloured apart from one significant element. We use colours a lot in language as shortcuts with colloquial meanings, therefore looking for puns, jokes or idioms can be very revealing.
Pink elephants may refer to being drunk or act as a symbol for intoxication. Maybe your sense of infatuation with a new love or for a love of life in general generates pink elephants in your dreams. Other common colour-associated phrases include:. Beyond phrases, colours can also have very individual meanings. A colour does not have any intrinsic meaning on its own, only the one we ascribe to it.
