In this chapter of the book, Parker's explains the meaning of colors within the dreams of humans. One example is when they say that "when color emerges strongly in a dream it is important to consider it as a seperate symbol." Another reason is when the authors go into detail about each colors significance in a dream. Finally the auther explains that people who are color concious in waking life dream in technicolor, and those who dream in monochrome are not very aware of colors in the natural life. These ideas are similiar to myself because I dream in technicolor because I love to see bring colors throughout the day.
The different meanings of colors in people's dreams was really interesting to read about and also how people can dream in black and white.
