More than half of our dream are in color, and the longer the dream, the greater are its changes of being in color. However, our recall of dream colors fades even more rapidly than memory of their content. Colors can symbolize moods or emotional processes; but specific color symbolism exists, and has been used, in all cultures, literature, religion, and alchemy. Consider first what the color says to you and how you feel about it. Sometimes several colors are inextricably linked, as in the seven colors of the rainbow or red which green black representing the four directions of the world. Four foldedness in colors especially the four primary colors (red, blue, yellow, green), represents wholeness; the missing color suggests what you need in order to create stability.

Drab colors may reflect lack of depressed emotion. Pastels suggest an emotion you are not totally recognizing or dealing with while fluorescent colors because of the light behind them suggest a new awareness.
