Yellow in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

What it means

Being shepherded, provided for (fed), led, cared for.

The Hebrew word for 'wolf' (ze'eb) derives from an unused root meaning 'to be yellow' — linking yellow's negative meaning to predatory, wolf-like characteristics.

✦ When it is positive

  • Being shepherded, provided for, fed, led, cared for

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Economic greed
  • Ravenous, tearing apart
  • Predator (the devil)
  • Lust
  • False prophets or false teachers

How to tell the difference

Biblically the opposite of the wolf is the Shepherd (Christ's leadership), which is the positive meaning of yellow. Emotion association: optimism, warmth, clarity, hunger — a color of joy.

Scripture

“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf. In the morning he will devour the prey. At evening he will divide the plunder.”

Genesis 49:27 (WEB)
