Dreaming in colour: the meaning of colours in dreams
titolo articolo o alt immagine

Colours are an essential part of our lives and a defining element of our surroundings. Many of you will have heard of  ‘seasonal colour analysis’, a discipline that helps to establish a balance between different colours. This is tangible evidence of just how much the choice of colours influences our daily lives to such an extent that, in certain contexts, they can alleviate the aches and pains of the soul. And just as colours determine our mood when we are awake, we should recognise the same importance during sleep. When we rest well, our body relaxes and our mind begins to travel, creating unfamiliar scenarios that are solely the result of the overwhelming emotions at that point in time. In the absence of rational thought control, during sleep colours become the expression of the state of mind that frame our lives for longer or shorter periods of time. In our dreams, static figures lose their concrete meaning and the immaterial aspect takes over, making it much easier to be caught up in a kind of emotional storm in which colours are completely irrational but functional. Colours can be the background of imagined scenes, or present themselves in the form of lights and shapes, to the extent that colour itself can become the main theme of the dream, helping to heighten and soften the interpretation of what we are irrationally experiencing.  

The meaning of colours

It is difficult to make a reliable classification that enables a reliable comparison to be made between our emotional sphere and the reality of dreams, but the chromatic areas of association can be associated with psychophysical conditions summarised as follows:
  • weakness: soft and dull colours
  • strength: bright and vivid colours
  We generally associate red with strength and passion but, in the language of dreams, it can also suggest a condition of embarrassment and shyness, a state of difficulty in which we find ourselves during the episode we are processing in our dreams. If the atmosphere is tinged with blue, we are probably reliving an episode in our lives with great detachment and coldness, almost as if it were a distant thought or already a memory, unlike green, the predominance of which signifies inner serenity. It is in any case essential to be able to understand what feeling a colour stimulates in each of us before looking for hidden meanings common to all. Let us remember that sleep is a time of intimacy and sharing with ourselves, where emotions prevail. And if we cannot determine the workings of our mind, let us at least help it to be relaxed and enjoy a good night's rest on a quality mattress: with Magniflex you can experience peaceful and colourful dreams.
