Monochrome dream architecture . It's like some people dream more in sounds ,some dream more in movement, some more in patterns . I dream more in Black and White . So, welcome in guys, i present you the Dark Side of the Moon .

The Philosophy of Black and White

How Darkness, Light and Absorbed Colours shape Vision , Spirit and Dream. 

For years this essay waited inside me ,ever since 2017, sitting in my photography classroom (classes attended at kallitechnio , the art café near my home ), discovering how shadows could speak more truthfully than colour. I didn't yet understand that black and white was not just a style. It was a language. Away of seeing reality stripped of noise, filtered down to essence. 

Only now i do understand why I have always felt drawn to it , why even my dreams arrive in black and white , like old films playing in the unconscious. The muted palette is not an accident . It is a message. And finally the words come.

Darkness as the Original State of the Universe 

Before colour , before sound , before memory , there was darkness. 

Physics tell us that darkness is not the absence of something . It's the natural state of space. 

Light appears only when energy bursts into motion . Colour is an aftereffect of light interacting with matter. 

This means something profound :

• Darkness is the rule

• Light is the exception

•Colour is the momentary echo of energy

When i dream in Black and White i feel I'm seeing the world closer to its original blueprint.  Without distraction. Without the illusion of colour that the waking mind constantly constructs. Pure form . Pure symbol . Pure meaning.

Dreams in monochrome are not empty , they are honest.

The Spiritual Dimension of Shadow

Many traditions once understood darkness not as fear , but as fertility ,the womb of cosmos . ( I dreamt on Sunday, November 16, i felt i was "pregnant" and i was seeking for a doctor for him to listen to the heartbeat of what i was even pregnant with ....i know the idea is there , I'm fertile with ideas i must translate )  So,every creation begins unseen , unformed , in the quiet dark.

In meditation , the eyes close . In grief we retreat . In transformation , we descend into shadow before emerging into the light. Darkness is not hostile rather than the birthplace of clarity. 

When i dream in black and white , i often wake up with the sense that the dream came from a deeper , older part of myself.The images  feel carved from stone , not painted in colour . As if the unconscious communicates in the original language of existence.

Light , Colour and what the Eye cannot See

Physics offer a startling perspective :

Objects do not possess colour . They absorb certain wavelengths and reject others. What we call "blue"  , "red" or "yellow" is not the object itself . It is what the object refuses to absorb . 

Black absorbs everything .

White rejects everything.

Colour is the tension between the two.

This absorption and reflection principle mirrors something profound in human perception . Just as objects absorbs certain wavelengths, I personally find that people absorb or emit emotional wavelengths ( also ,I'm on a personal research-journey on experiencing wearing more all black , or all white outfits ). Back to what i see...Their aura subtle , intuitive , energetic appears to me like a kind of spiritual "colour", one not always visible to the physical eye , but deeply felt. Some people feel like they absorb light : calm, grounding , deep . Others radiate outward expansive , bright and energetic. Some are soft greys , gentle , quiet , steady. 

The physics of colour becomes a metaphor for the physics of the soul . 

The Dark Side of the Moon and the Illusion of Shadow

We speak of the "dark side of the moon " , but physics correct us : 

there is no permanently dark side . Every surface of the moon receives light at some point . It simply rotates differently from our perspective . What appears dark is often only unseen from where we stand . 

This applies to people ,too. We call certain parts of them "dark" simply because we cannot see them , not because they lack light. When i sense someone's aura , it often feels like I'm glimpsing the side of them that is illuminated even if they can't see it themselves .Seeing someone's inner colours is a reminder that "darkness" is nothing but misperception.

This hints that death might be an illusion !

Dreams in Black and White

A Return to the Essential.

My Monochrome dreams have always puzzled me . Why does my inner world strip itself of colour ?

I dream very logical , the mind simplifies to the essentials. It turns off the noise  . It removes reflected light. It stops interpreting wavelengths . It shows me raw shapes of meaning. I think this answer came slowly , spiritually and scientifically.  

In dreams i trust myself completely . When i wake up from a dream i trust intuition , which shows me all the colours hidden . Dreaming in black and white is very precious , like touching the skeleton of reality . Shadow become symbols . Light becomes guidance . Everything unnecessary disappears . My dreams speak in the same visual vocabulary that the universe used at its beginning :contrast , depth , stillness, truth . 

Auras and Absorbed Colours

Am I a physician of the Soul ?   

Just to put things straight i don't always see colours . When i look at a person , i often sense their aura  not as bright "rainbow colours" , but as a tone , a vibration , almost like an emotional wavelength. That's why i like some people we look nothing alike . It is that we are on the same wavelength , maybe.  I've come to understand this all through the physics of colour. 

Just as objects absorb some light , people absorb emotional wavelengths . Some people absorb heaviness, Some absorb hope . Some reflect joy so strongly that it brightness the room . We call these impressions "intuition" , but they may be closer to perception than we admit. Auras are not the neon colours drawn in spiritual books , they are energetic signatures , the invisible contrast between who someone really is and what they reflect outward . Just like black and white photography , sensing someone's aura shows the truth beneath the visible surface . 

*I have recently attended eurythmy classes and had internship in one of those Waldorf schools . Other than flow  , intuition is also natural  being taught and trained  for example by sensing in a black and white picture, what colour the object appearing might have and other similar activities ...) 

Why Black and White feels like Home 

Black and White reveal essence , simplify truth and remove essence. They return the world to it's original geometry , the architecture beneath the illusion. It's not the light ,i think we notice when we get out of the womb , that actually might scare us. It's us separating from warmth and wanting to connect with what feels warm and safe again in this world . 

In the same way that colour blinds us to form , emotional noise blinds us to the essence of people . Absorbed colours literal or symbolic tell us who someone is .

Do you think the Devil as someone who wears red and God as  someone who wears all white ? Why that ?

Also, who are the real blind people on earth?
