Thread: new color

@Sageous Well that's a smart explenation. But I have a question to you, Sageous, in your +30 years of exploring dreams, have you never seen a color of which you think is impossible to have in the real world?

Nope. Never.

Sure, I've seen plenty of amazing colors, perhaps even a novel shade on occasion, but I never once said, "That color doesn't exist in reality." Now, that could be because, per my post above, my mindset prevented me from noticing a color that doesn't exist in reality, or I just wasn't looking. But I don't think so.

Interesting!
Have you ever tried?

^^ No, I haven't. I'm not sure you actually can try to invent a new, never-before-seen color. Since it's probably safe to assume your unconscious isn't harboring a file of unknown colors, asking for a new color seems pointless. You can have the greatest of intentions and desire to find a new color, but if there is nothing in the database from which to draw, you would still get no results.

I think that discovering a new color would need to happen by accident, and it certainly hasn't done so for me. Even if it did, given the vast amount of shades, mixes, and hues of the existing primary colors, I would be hard pressed to believe that any "new" color I saw in a dream was one that does not exist in reality.

So I guess I'm not the best person to ask such a question, huh?
