From Dreams Obscure

Often, dreamers don’t pay attention to the colors in their dreams.
However, focusing more attention on this aspect of dreams may help
lead to a more accurate and fulfilling interpretation. For example: A
dreamer dreams of a statue, which falls from its place on a mantle
and crashes to the floor. Seems pretty broad, huh? However, if the
dreamer recalled that the statue was green, then one possible
interpretation could be that the dreamer’s jealousy is leading to
destructive ends. If a certain color continuously reappears in your
dream, it may be time for you to figure out exactly what that color
could represent. Your subconscious is most likely trying to comment
on something by using that particular color as a symbol.

Below is a list of colors and their possible meanings. Please keep in
mind that what one color represents to one person may be completely
different for another; different cultures assign varying symbolism to
particular colors The list below represents a western culture bias.

ladydreamsRed: Lighter shades of red can be representative of excitement
(especially sexually), passion, energy, and life. However, deeper
or “weighed down” shades of red may be indicative of anger and
vengence. Notice how the stop sign is red; possibly a hint from your
subconscious to cease and desist in a certain activity? Other
possible meanings, depending on the dream’s context, are:
matters of the heart, blood, something that is important and should
be understood, and danger.
Questions to ask yourself if red appears in your dream: Have you been
allowing your anger to get out of control? Is there something that
your dream may be trying to get you to pay more attention to? Do you
feel as if you are sexually balanced?

yourself to.
