Blue in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Blue is read as calm, truth and distance — the colour of sky and deep water. It traditionally stands for peace of mind, and sometimes for longing. Light blue points to openness and relief, while deep, dark blue is read as depth of feeling or melancholy. A blue door or room suggests a place of rest, and blue clothing a wish to be trusted or to keep things calm. Being surrounded by blue water is taken as being held by emotion. Cold, icy blue is read as distance in a relationship.
