What Color Is This Owl?

My favorite subject in school had always been art so I'm familiar with color theory. But although remember wishing for the 64 box of crayons, most of them probably would be left unused.

I used to have frequent nightmares and they only stopped when I didn't allow them to upset me. I remember learning of a theory that when a driven is given to you by God, it will be in color and if it's from the devil, otherwise known as deception himself, it will only be in black and white because he can't duplicate the light required to create color. I think there is merit in that, but whether this is valid or speculation, it helped me in the ability disregard nightmares and "cast down vain imaginations to the obedience of Christ, with the Word that He gave us that He has not given us a spirit of fear. So, as long as there is color, I don't have to worry, whatever it is, it's good because it's from God, though I do pay more attention to it, and all other ones can be dismissed as no worse than the spicy meatballs I had for dinner.

Oh, and my memory isn't all that good either, but for the utility of the internet search.

p.s. (I'm such a word nerd...) word studies reveals that the word translated as "sound" has a connotation of 'secure'...
sleep tight!

That's an interesting thought on the color of dreams. I don't have dreams very often but when I do they've always been in color. I was just half joking about the nightmare thing, but around half of the dreams I do have are nightmares. I'm quite used to them at this point and they haven't really bothered me since my lower teen years. Now I sometimes find myself mid nightmare thinking that it's less scary than some 80's horror movies which then makes me wake up and somewhat laugh at the dream. The only ones that irk me nowadays are demonic dreams, not because I find them scary, but because it always makes me wonder if I allowed it to happen through sin I'm unaware of.

I dream in color. If I've ever dreamt in black and white I don't remember doing so.

Winston is light blue.

No color blindness here.

No problems with colors. Perhaps other than keep most colors simplified and not use their 'correct' names. For instance I'm more likely to say blue than turquoise.

The psychology of color is interesting. I've not looked into it, but the bit I've heard made me curious.

Same here. The thought of black and white dreams is very odd to me. It would be an interesting experience though.

I don't recall black and white, per se, dreams either really, but maybe sepia. And even some really scary ones where in color. For instance, I was driving a red open convertible with the antagonist from "the warlock" flying in pursuit, hovering within close reach of my son, Joshua, who was in the backseat. My hair so long and flowing straight back in the wind and totally white.

Maybe this relates to JohnDB's claim of women's sensitivity to taste.

All the way growing up as a child till my earlier teens I had almost exclusively bad dreams and nightmares. They began tapering off slowly over the next 10 years before normal dreams were more common.
And every bad dream was in full color.

Memory has always been a weakness of mine and I dare not try to fix it any time soon. Also I feel like just saying dark blue or light green is so much simpler. Less descriptive for sure, but it gets the job done for me. I'm sure if I attempted to memorize color names I would start having nightmares of various colors belittling me for my inability to call them by the right name. No thanks on that one. My nightmares are strange enough as is. lol

Right, not that I'd encourage taking the theory for anything more than theory, it just helped me put into perspective that God is God even in events out of our control...which brings to mind the concept of lucid dreams. That thought disturbs me, though I don't know why, that one can control what they are doing in a dream. If I've ever had one, that thought of being conscious of actually "controlling" the dream escapes me.

Nice, now begins the Queensryche loop

...smiling next to youuu

I've never had a lucid dream, but my dad has. It sounds weird and creepy to me, but he talks about it so casually. He doesn't always have them, but he's had his fair share of them.

...in silent lucidity...

the closest I'd come to the possibility is dreaming of armed men chasing me and I leapt over a wall as high as sycamores (indicated by the tops of sycamores peaking over the top edge).

Haha. I think many of my dad's lucid dreams didn't start that way, but turned that way because the dream turned bad. He sometimes could fly in his dreams so he'd try to fly away.
But he also had dreams where he just chose to fly for fun.

Closest I ever got was when I was a teen, and dreaming, suddenly, out of nowhere a monster truck showed up, with a loud engine. When I woke up I could still hear it and it threw me off for a second. Turns out one of my sisters redneck friends just had a loud pickup and that's what I was hearing 😂

The rabbi I used to tune in on that used to have a slot on TCT mentioned why he always wore a yellow tie. I'd never keyed in on that it was a psychology to it but the reality of that only piques my interest more. Why are we drawn to yellow... and alert to red, or is it orange?... and as @seoulsearch apparently has demonstrate, calmed by blue?

not when it is worn by a pushy, needy owl...

Uh oh!..

Here we go...
