Thursday, 13 December 2018 Some people recall having only black and white dreams or with pale, insipid neutral shades. Research has shown that the majority of our dreams (70% to 83%) are in colour. Vivid colours are usually associated with lucid dreams and dreaming. A knowledge of the significance of the colours in our dreams is a most effective tool for understanding and interpreting our dreams. * BEIGE The colour beige appearing in dreams represents the basics, the essentials of life, the barest form or ‘bare bones’. Beige presenting in your dream may indicate a neutral or unbiased view or position on a matter or in a situation. BLACK Black is the colour of the unconscious, mystery, change and protection. It resonates with indifference, gloom, death, darkness, obscurity and secrecy. Black is often associated with death or major changes. Seeing black in your dream may represent the death of old ideas and/or the endings of a situation or phase in your life. Seeing the colour black in your dreams may also suggest a hidden or rejected aspect of yourself. Black can symbolize the unconscious, hidden things, the unknown and endings. Black appearing in dreams invites us to delve deeply in the subconscious mind in order to gain a better understanding of the ‘Self’. Black appearing in your dreams may be representing potentials and possibilities and may be symbolic of a ‘clean slate’ or ‘blank slate’. Within the context of the dream theme, seeing black can suggest Divine qualities and heightening spirituality. BLACK & WHITE To dream in black and white can suggest that you need to be more objective in formulating your choices and decisions. It may imply that you are too rigid and/or unyielding in your thought processes and may need to find balance and a place of reference. Consider the opinions and views of others to gain perspective. Dreaming in black and white may be a sign of sadness, melancholy and/or depression. You may feel as though there is not enough excitement, variety or colour in your life. BLUE The colour blue vibrates with the energies of wisdom, truth, heaven, devotion, eternity, tranquillity, loyalty, openness, receptivity and loyalty. 23
