You might have heard it said that "it's rare to dream in color" or "if
you dream in color that means the dream is going to come true." These
things are oversimplifications! All dreams are true in one way or
another, and it is not "rare" to dream in color, just that we don't
construct or remember color in dreams if it is not important to the
meaning of the dream. If a dream symbol is in color, and if we remember
that color on waking, that means that our Dreamweaver was trying to tell
us some additional information about the object we saw in the dream.
I have heard that when we achieve a certain level of integration or
spiritual growth, we stop dreaming in concrete symbols altogether and
dream purely in colors, lights and shapes. I haven't reached this level
myself, yet, though!
Red is your passion, blood, fire, wine. It represents the
more passionate emotions (such as anger) as well as sexual passion.
Purple represents transformation, especially spiritual
transformation.
Blue (light) is the intellect and spiritual sublimity and
in general any of the cooler, more aloof aspects of being human.
Blue (dark) however, represents looking inward and
hearkening to your intuition and "baser" wisdom.
Green is the color of youthful concerns, sensation,
growth, renewal, early learning.
Yellow is the color of intuition and of incoming
spiritual enlightenment.
Orange represents change and of taking one's power in
one's own hands.
Pink represents the more tender emotions and heart-bonds,
sometimes in their more niave and less mature forms, but can also
represent pure intentions and the abilitiy to love selflessly.
Black is not a "bad" color. It can represent the mourning
and turning-inward associated with death, change,
and other kinds of loss, but it is also the place in our subconscious
where we can go to lie quietly and heal, gestate our dreams, and obtain
new reserves of strength.
White represents intellect and wisdom, and if it tends
to a silvery shade, divinity. It can also sometimes represent innocence
and purity.
Brown represents earthly concerns, sensuality, and
personal wealth.
Gold is sort of like yellow on steriods. It is divine
inspiration, enlightenment, and the fire of life.
Muddy Colors of any of the shades above represent
depression due to a repression of the part of yourself concerned with
that particular color, or deception.
