Color dreams
Black, white, red, gold, grey, a single color that fills a whole dream. Color is the least codified part of dream symbolism. Traditions disagree, and plenty of people dream in muted tones or do not recall color at all.
These entries are cautious on purpose. They note what a color has meant historically and why, and they treat your own association with it as the stronger clue.
