Yellow

Depending on the context in the dream, yellow can link with lightness of feeling; intuition; hopefulness for the future; a clear intellect or extroversion. Because it is a colour associated with shining, it may indicate your innermost wisdom shining out – especially if you are dressed in bright yellow.

On the negative side it can suggest cowardice, jealousy, caution or quarantine. So in some dreams it is linked with sickness or some form of inner illness, or a warning that something is not right.

Yellow roses are used to depict friendship without sexual love, or a love that is not leading to partnership.

Because the action of light tends to fade colours, you find the word yellowing or yellowed used to describe an ageing process, or something that is old. So in some dreams it would indicate a sense of something being old, worn or perhaps fragile. In The Great Gatsby, Scott Fitzgerald used yellow to represent moral decay decadence and death.

Corn and sun dried landscapes are yellow, and so in a dream can indicate feelings of content, fruitfulness and richness of spirit. As the sun is thought of as yellow the colour also depicts life giving and warming influences or attitudes, of the expression of your own life flow.

Yellow also links with gold, its ability to remain untarnished and its precious quality. So if yellow in your dream has any of these associations it would link with what is of great value and abilities in you.

In some forms of meditation yellow also signifies a shift in awareness, or a change in the way you sense things.

Cream Gentle relaxed feelings. Cream softens the impact of yellow, so suggests, as with cream clothes or furnishings, an easy, quiet feeling, friendship and relaxation rather than sexual excitement and youthful exuberance.

Yellow-green is sometimes associated with lies or deceit, or even sickness.

Muddy Yellow: This might indicate toxins in your body, and therefore lowered energy and poor health. But it can also suggest lack of clarity in your thoughts and feelings, and therefore depressed thoughts and confusion.

Yellow Orange: Energetic and clear feelings and thoughts. This might also lead to feelings of warmth in connection with others.

Idioms: yellow belly; a yellow streak

Useful questions:

What of the many associations with yellow does my dream suggest?

Is this a radiant dream, suggesting the expression of my own inner life in a positive way?

Is there any link with age or decay in the dream, pointing to something in me that is outworn?

I had a dream about someone I am falling in love with but I dont believe shares the sentiment. He has been staying over often but now I haven’t seen him in two weeks. While I was sleeping next to someone else, I dreamt of him visiting me at work, caressing me, loving me, and coming out to talk to me while I was talking to a customer. He is wearing a yellow jacket, sees I am occupied, turns around and walks away back into the office. I usually never recall colors in my dreams that’s why I am so curious as to why the yellow stands out. I was rushing the customer in the dream to go running to him, and I woke up. Such a dissatisfied ending!!

You should have asked for a private reply.

Leanne – Every dream enter on this site is always on display on this site. I am very disturbed that you didn’t realise that. I will try to trash all your entries. Let me know quickly.

Just dreamt this:
I am coming home, wooden oldish house, not in perfect shape, but I seem to be happy about it. Front lawn shyly grassy, air towards very early autumn evening (light still). Front door is with small stairs up an entering to kitchen. First is the stove and surfaces towards the door, on the right dinong table with 4 chairs.

I go and change clothes? Coming from work. My husband and daughter are out someplace.
I put on a long yellow silk-like shirt, top buttons open, no bra, just undies and think suddenly, when planning to fix some bread that I left the door unlocked and should lock it.
I descend to the door and see through the window an old muggish colour Toyota Corolla or similar just outside the door in front of it, nobody in. It was not there when I came, but during my changing clithes.
This car belongs to the man my cleaner had been dating and he’d been to us to help her a few times.
I get a nasty feeling someone’s come in unnoticed and go back in. Entering the kitchen.
Sure enough, that man is there smiling and expressing he ket himself in, as the door was open and nobody around (while I was away changing).
This makes me realise he’s veen watching me a while inside.
I am amicable and covering my irritability and anxiousness.
He starts to express how we make a perfect couple (despite I am married and have a child). At some point he approaches me and caresses. I have a large bread knife and I glude it to his jawline in protection whilst being held. I am unable to ho forth han realky harm him (or any person) and he notices. I feel realky unoleasant, but try not to show my disgust to avoid rash behaviour. He lets me go towards the stive area to prepare bread and sits on one of the chairs talking.
I am asking chit chat questions and thinking how I could call help (my mobile is with me on the rable). He eants about the cleaning lady etc. I think to pretend to call my mother and talking to police emergency instead.
I wake up to the alarm.

Yellow is a mystery in this, it’s clear and lught and shiny – like lemin tellow, palush.
And also the rest.
I am thinking some sort of a threat or an assault towards my person or something?
