Red in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Red is the colour of blood and fire: passion, energy, anger and warning. Dream books read it as a feeling that is strong and wants to be noticed. A red dress or car points to desire and confidence, while a red sky or light is read as alarm or excitement. Seeing red everywhere suggests emotion close to boiling over. A single red detail in a grey dream is taken as the one thing that matters most. Soft reds and pinks lean toward affection rather than anger.
