The Meaning of Colors in Dreams

Color, like everything else in your dream is there

  1. To Heal You
  2. To Guide You
  3. As an Expression of Your Reaction to the Subject Matter of the dream

Healing and Guidance is blocked by:

  • Limiting the Color to a thin stripe
  • Polluting the Color by darkening it
  • Adding negative colors such as black or gray

If a particular color is not listed then combine the meanings of the colors which constitute it. Keywords are indicated in red and where appropriate the associated chakra is indicated in purple.
