Black

Black color, Color black, Dressed in black

Black can feel elegant, mysterious or heavy, depending on the dream. As the color of night and of things you can't quite see, it's often linked to the unknown or to feelings you keep hidden. Dressing in black can show a wish to feel strong, serious or protected. A room or a sky that's pitch black stands for uncertainty, a stretch where you can't see the next step yet. In many traditions black is also the color of mourning, and a dream may use it to mark something that has ended.
