Blue has strong associations with mood and emotion, with thought and insight, and with tranquility and contentment.

It’s associated with harmony and can be used in dreams to show the need for harmony in yourself, your life, and your relationships. And harmony is associated with trust.

When associated with water, especially the ocean, blue can symbolize clarity and depth, as in depth of character, insight or knowledge. See: Oceans
Blue water can be associated with feminine qualities like fertility and mastery of subtlety and mood.

It has strong associations with certain emotions, usually the more tranquil and serene ones. See: Water

Blue can combine with other symbolism. Blue skies can symbolize farsightedness, combining blue’s connection with insight together with the open sky’s association with ability to see great distances. Blue clothes can indicate depression or tranquility because clothes can be associated with an impression given off. A blue room can symbolize mental coldness because ice can appear blue and a room can symbolize your mind.

Blue, like all colors, can appear anywhere in a dream, and it’s there purposefully.

Blue is the color representation of the fifth chakra, an energy center in the throat associated with articulation and self-expression.

I (16f) had a dream about a girl that doesnt exist, caught feelings for her, then she died pretty awfully?

I didnt even realise it was a dream, I was in school with my friends but started getting overwhelmed and having a meltdown which are pretty common for me only this time I physically left school grounds and was in the parking lot trying to calm down, I met a girl with faded dyed blue hair in a braid, slept in makeup, big PJs under a big coat, her name was Charlot and we joked about how it was spelt weird, she looked like a mess but was really pretty to me. She was in this like small van she was living in? This is the weirdest dream I’ve ever had because I could ask her questions I was thinking and she’d respond but I had no control over anything else in the dream so I don’t believe it was lucid. It sounds dumb but i started catching feelings for her, she was funny and cool but came off as cold, we bonded so much, she even taught me a few life lessons but then suddenly her drug dealer came wanting money, she told him to leave her alone then he sliced her neck and killed her right infront of me and I woke up in shock. I’m kinda hurt about this because i bonded with her so much only to find out that shes not only dead but a figment of my imagination. I’m writing this all down a couple minutes after I woke up so sorry if its all over the place, does anyone know what this could mean?

Both husband and I dream about the same stranger

Hi all,

So I had a dream about a blond older woman who had a beehive bun and wearing a blue dress.

According to my dream, I knew she was evil and I kept thinking to myself that she was a witch.
I kept asking her what does she want but she didn’t respond. I don’t remember much else, but I remember that I was in danger and I just wanted her to go away.

That morning I woke up afraid. I told my husband about it and he told me he dreamed the same woman.

In his dream the woman broke into our house. She was standing in front of him while I was sleeping. The woman wanted to hurt me, but my husband pointed a shot gun to her face and said “do you want a slug to the face?” He said that she freaked out and left. He was happy that he was able to protect me.

Neither of us know who this woman is and we don’t think we’ve ever seen her in real life.

Any thoughts ?

My dead friend told me what happens when you die in a dream

My freshman year of college I had a dream that my friend who had died in a car accident earlier that year approached me at night, I was in a dark house, and there were people around him moving in studders. He looked at me through a stained yellow window, and I asked him "
what happens when we die?" and he told me, "whatever you believe." After that dream I had another where an aztec man broke through my childhood room glass window and started shedding blue nails from his fingers, until he was just a pile of nails. Like the information my friend gave me was sacred or something.

Cool concept though. If you believe in heaven, you'll go to your brain's idea of heaven. Reincarnation, you'll live the life of some other animal/person. Hell, you'll live in your brain's idea of hell. Nothing, you'll live nothing. Maybe there is something to that, with the chemicals released in your brain when you die, and the few weeks it takes for that electrical activity to completely dissipate in your brain after dying. Maybe when we die, we're at least alloted a brief respite living in whatever colorful fantasy we imagined we might pass on to when we were living, before the electricity shuts off like a light switch and we do too. That dream always stuck with me.

First semi wet dream??

so I was in this hotel room and there were like 4 beds pressed up against each other and there was this short brown haired guy cuddling and he was wearing a blue and pink tie dye hoodie and I told him to come here and I hugged him and he sighed. He seemed kind of sad and lonely and I then started grinding against him and he moaned really loud then I picked him up and brought him over to the empty bed then there was this girl who had on this cute black leather skirt and garnets and I started grinding against her too. This dream was weird I also remember there were about 5 guys on the beds in total and they were all of different races and the girl had really destroyed high heels like they looked so worn out.

Ok so super weird, never even thought about something like this

Ok, backstories for what I gathered it this dream it was weirdly vivid, this dream takes place in a world where there are humans and neko’s, but humans are racist towards the neko’s, anyways it start with me in a park bent over looking at the flowers, this dream was really vivid, the color of the flowers were blue and yellow they were mixed I think, but I got up and turned around I see a neko in a cloak I think, it was either a cloak or a Japanese outfit, she touched my chest with two fingers and my entire body was encased with ice, then a split second later the neko was gone and the ice shattered like glass, but she was behind me, I was about get up and then my neck started to feel extremely cold, then I think I was knocked out, but when I woke up I got up and headed home, but I saw people giving me weird looks and whispering to each other, i never made it home though, this whole bit is a bit of a blur but I remember I got it a fight, I crossed a little bridge then after that everything was clear again and I was at a friends house, he didn’t know who I was and I was super confused, I told him it was me, and he squinted his eyes and said “Logan?”, I said yeah and he said,”you do notice you have ears and a tail, right?”at first I thought he was joking, until I looked behind me and saw that I had a tail, I looked in a mirror and saw cat ears, I told him I couldn’t go back to my normal job, he agreed with me
