Scarlet

A bright, fully saturated red — declaration that does not ask permission to be seen.

Scarlet in a dream is the dream's image of a red that declares itself, the saturated brightness that does not ask permission to be seen. Scarlet is the colour of uniforms, of warning signs, of women in stories who are not interested in being polite. The dream brings scarlet when something in your life — a statement, an appearance, a refusal — is finally being made in a tone that cannot be missed. A scarlet garment worn into a room is the dream affirming the declaration. A scarlet mark made on a surface that demanded discretion is the dream noting that the tone has been pitched against the room itself, and the room is going to react.
