Can color and texture hold a dream's meaning? Read on.
The Dream: My child is wearing a red crocheted dress over a
lavender and purple silky skirt; in some way these pieces don’t go together.
The child is very pleased with herself for selecting this outfit and doesn’t seem
to realize the pieces clash.
Interpretation: The meaning of this dream lies in its colors
and textures. The color red is associated with life (childbirth, menstruation)
and death (flowing blood). A crocheted texture is rough and bumpy. Taken
together, the red color and uneven texture of the crocheted dress symbolize the
rough road of our lives in time. Meanwhile,
underneath, is a silky smooth violet garment. According to Tony Crisp’s Dream Dictionary, violet often “appears
in dreams containing a deep sense of one’s eternal nature . . . .” My intuitive
(child) awareness can accept these two apparently contradictory modes of being:
temporal and eternal. (She doesn’t realize they clash.) On the other hand my
reason (the adult) can’t accept the dichotomy, pointing out that the pieces
“don’t go together.”
