Brown dream meaning is explained below using 21 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Theresa Cheung

Most of us associate the color brown with the earth, and this is its leading significance in dreams. If, for example, you dreamed of walking on a brown surface, you may be longing for a more down-to-earth lifestyle, as earthiness can represent a character trait. The warmer the tone of brown that was featured in your dream, the more likely it is that the reference was to nature, whether that is in the natural world or to a natural, unaffected personality.

If the brown is drab, this may reflect your own sense of melancholy and feeling of oppression, perhaps due to obligations and responsibilities. Brown is also the color of commitment or self-sufficiency, so your dream may be urging you to work hard and take control today, if you want to achieve anything tomorrow. Although brown generally draws its symbolism from the earth as a source of fertility and rejuvenation, it can on occasion symbolize the melancholy of rotting leaves. For Freudians, brown is the color of excrement, indicating not only the anal fixation of an orderly and obsessive character, but also a repressed desire for artistic creativity. Keywords: Worldliness, practicality, domestic and physical comfort, conservatism, and a materialistic character.

Interpretation 2 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

While most colors are found in the spectrum of natural light, the color brown is a mixture of many colors that results in something that is generally thought to be dull and lacking in vibrancy. This is the direction to go with your interpretation, especially if the object or environment that is brown is unnaturally colored in that way. However, also consider that brown is the color of earth, and so what you perceive in this color in your dream could indicate a need for a more grounded approach to some element of your waking life.

Brown has always been the color of earth.

The tone is warm, calm, and motherly, feminine. Dressing in a brown dress in a dream means the dreamer has chosen a natural lifestyle or would like to live that way.

Interpretation 4 — Silvana Amar

Brown is not the most cheerful color in the spectrum.

It is a very serious color which is associated with the earth, dirt, or soil. Autumn is generally brown and it represents a season of dormancy and conservatism.

The brown in your dream may be symbolic of physical reality and earthiness. It may represent things in their barest form, and its interpretation may encourage you to add some light and depth into your daily life.
