Is
it possible to dream in a specific color?
I have a lot of weird dreams, some of them are even filled with great
ideas, but I’ve never had a dream in red before. I imagine it being like a red filter placed
over the lens, where everything comes out as red and black instead of black and
white, if you will. But do people dream
this way? Do they dream of colors or in
only one color? I’m fairly certain all
of my dreams have been multicolored as I can’t recall dreaming in black and
white.
Then
I begin to wonder: what is red? As far
as colors go, red is the color of blood.
I only feel the need to point that out because on several levels this
quiet, ambient music reminds me of the primary setting from the movie “Saw”. (You know the room) In some ways, at times, it does feel like
you’re stuck on the title menu of the DVD and that particular room is being
shown with this tape playing.
On
the other hand, red is often thought to be the color of anger in terms of
emotions. Is it odd to think that
something such as this could be filled with anger? There are no heavy guitar riffs, crunching
power chords, screams, double bass drums or otherwise breakdowns you’d tend to
find in the music that wears anger on their sleeve. But as I think about that, as I consider it,
while listening to this cassette, I can hear some sort of brooding anger in
here, if you can sort of read between the lines, only in a listening sense.
Does
this cassette really have anything to do with dreams, colors or both? Regardless of whether it was intended to or
not, this does create the vision of a nightmare on some level, and what is a
nightmare but an angry dream?
