Colors

Added on:7/10/2008 | In Color

The psyche often makes use of color symbolism to convey information in dreams. It is often asserted that people rarely dream in color. This is untrue. When the dreamer particularly emphasizes having dreamed in color, this simply means that he remembers the colors. As far as interpretation is concerned, this means that the dream is giving additional significance to the information conveyed by the use of these colors.
The following should be considered when interpreting the
individual colors: 
Black must be regarded as a signal of a state of non-awareness in the sense of a standstill. 
White can also be a reference to a state of non-awareness, like that which exists before the start or after the end of the psyche's conscious life. White can thus indicate forebodings of death.
Yellow is like gold. In a dream, it is the color of mental, intuitive activity.
Red is the color which most excites our attention. Red is the symbol for the dynamics of life. It is also a symbol for animal instincts and aggression. Orange is a particularly strong signal for activity.
Blue is the color which symbolizes the intellect. It indicates clear-headed deliberations and dispassionate thinking.
Purple is a signal for especial significance. 
As new life begins in spring, when fields and meadows turn a fresh green sheen, this color has an extremely positive meaning. 
Color test series over a period of years showed that brown is preferred by neurotics and indicates unconscious complexes.
Violet in a dream symbolizes conflict situations arising from the opposition of body and intellect.

  • Frogs
    Men rarely dream of frogs, but more often of toads. In women's or girls' dreams, the frog has a similar significance to that in the well-known fairytale of the frog king by the Brothers Grimm. In this fairytale, the frog turns into a radiant prince. But this only happens after the princess, on her father the king's orders, has given the frog food from her plate and warmed him in her bed. The frog is an animal which lives partly on land and partly in water. It indicates a transitionary phase in the process of evolution of living things, and is in this respect a symbol of change or transformation. The frog's life in water refers to cold and still impersonal elemental nature. The fairytale tells us allegorically that this impersonal side of nature, which also plays a role in sexuality, can only be elevated into the sphere of an acceptable human relationship by spiritual nourishment and by being firmly embedded in human emotions.
    The toad is the symbol of the fertile, devouring mother-goddess, who is also the mother of death. A toad in a man's dream can, therefore, be seen as a warning signal.

  • Fountain, spring
    In myths and fairytales, fountains and springs symbolize the origin of life. Stemming from the belief that it is womankind which continually renews life by childbirth, the fountain has acquired the symbolic meaning of the fountain of life.
