Lapis blue
A deep blue from a stone — a colour that for centuries had to be paid for in real coin.
Lapis blue in a dream is the dream's image of a deep blue ground from a stone, the colour that in medieval painting was reserved for the most important robes because the pigment had to be paid for. The dream brings lapis when something in your life — an image of a person, an attribution of value — is being made with material that cost something real to produce. A lapis used on the right figure is the dream affirming the value being marked. A lapis used indiscriminately, on every figure regardless of rank, is the dream noting that the meaning of the expensive material has been spent by being applied to everything.
