Do colours in a dream depart significantly from the effects of colours in say art, clothes, flowers, home decoration etc.
It strikes me they are much the same.
I can't wait now to have another conscious dream that I can remember, I feel deprived.

Yes they are much the same... but in dreams they are more 'background.' They tend to add to the meaning of a dream through nuances... whereas in waking consciousness the colour does not define the object, it only enhances it or detracts from it in some way... does that make sense?
AS to the colours themselves... yes very similar in context, I guess because chakra's remain active in the same places throughout both states... something along those lines.
Yes in both daydreams and night-time ones, you should try to remember the colours as they will add meaning...
Happy dreaming...

Yes, that does make sense and you explained it very well, but we are, in some ways, already on the same wavelength.
It may be more difficult for others, if these types of things have not formed part of their thinking.
Well done,

Comment by Wendi
For those who dream in color, everything in the dream has color. Are we to look at every thing and every color, or just certain objects/colors that stand out or are magified in some way?
I always connected blue to water moreso than the sky, therefore tying it to emotion and how we feel about certain things. I also tend to tie my colors to the principles of Feng Shui and the Chakras, so it also ties to communication or self expression. Can it be that the way the colors are demonstrated is as important as the colors themselves?
And finally, why is it that some people dream in full color and others dream only in black and white?

In answer to your first question, I think yes but not all things... for example if you noticed a Fairy in your dreams the symbology would be pointing to the capricious and spontaneous side of our being... no problems... but lets say that you happened to notice that the fairy was a bright green as opposed to black, you could further interpret on the merits of the colours involved. In this case a green fairy might indicate that a spontaneous need to be amongst nature would be beneficial and not overridden with logic... go with the flow.
A black fairy would indicate that you view (or someone around you - depending on the rest of the symbols) view your spontaneous behaviour as too fickle, and not a good thing... something that should be dampened down to suit a more corporate structure perhaps....?
I'm not sure they are good examples, but hope they help ...
Yes colours are important as stand alone symbols, indeed…
Blue is as you say in the waking world, but again slightly skew in the dream world... yes, personally, I would certainly look at the waking connotations of blue exactly as you suggest... because of the throat chakra and communications... again Wendi, it is like reading Tarot Cards. One on its own can mean very little, but two or three others around it and you have a Encyclopaedia definition to read ... ;o)
Black and white dreams are interesting aren’t they and I don’t know…I have read about ten different theories…nothing conclusive….it remains a mystery to me… probably my cats too because it is said they only see in black and white… and upside down *lol*
I’d welcome any input on black and white dreams… maybe research it a bit more one day… as I say, I’ve found nothing conclusive so far…
Thanks so much for your visit and questions;
I hope my answers help you a little…

I've left my dream on one of my sites. Let me know what you think and I'll put it on here, if you like, it really wasn't all that interesting but I'm sure you'll be interested in what I have said. No rush.

I was wondering if you had read Aldous Huxley's book Heaven & Hell (sort of a sequel to The Doors Of Perception). He only has a few sentences about dreams but he goes into how the colour of dreams ties us down to reality and is never really a main part of a dream. I was wondering what you though of that?
Interesting, however. I can never remember if I dream in colour or not...

No I haven't read any of his work, it sounds like the sort of book I'd enjoy though... I'll go and do a Amazon check and get the ISBN and preview a few pages... thank you so much for the recommendation...
Actually I like the idea of colours grounding us... it makes perfect sense that something has too and what better than the refraction of light...colours in dreams do hold the ambient importance. If you can try to remember what they are...they can help you achieve a lot in self progress and understanding of your waking emotional responses to certain situations...when added tot he other symbols tthat appear...
happy dreaming

I look forwrd to seeing your image, it pears some importance *ha ha*
...a golden anything is good, as is turqouise... and fruit is always a symbol of the fruits of labour and the hidden potentials... golden (prosperity) and turqouise (tranquility) bring promise indeed...
a nice combination,

You have just reminded me that I saw more cockatoos yesterday, and a black and yellow butterfly whilst at the tennis court... going now to catch up on its 'other' meaning ... something about remaining - or becoming more flexible when butterfly's are about I think... jsut off the top of my head... as a fixed astrological sign (the fixed ones being Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio and Taurus)... that advice is always in good measure.
hugs.
