Colours

In general:

Think please with the following tips that the general colour symbolism is overlaid by the personal predilections and aversions compared with certain colours. What can be also considered not universally valid, are many shades, saturation degrees and brightness values. Basically is to be said to the fact that brighter colours are interpreted in terms of cheerfulness, carefree nature and partially also consciousness, even if this is absolutely a stereotype. Today is every symbol - and thus also every colour - sluggish ambivalent, equivocal messages. With saturated colours the symbolism is clearer and expressed more stressed than with unsaturated colours. By black or white broken colours a disturbance or a refinement which refers to the symbolism of the suitable colour express. Compound colours consist in her meaning almost always of the meaning shares of the suitable single colours.

White light contains all colours. Colours can have in the dream for themselves alone meaning, - often they become clear, however, only from the connection with other symbols.
