Blue
Peace, communication, spirituality
Island
Isolation, independence, refuge
Blue
Blue represents calm, communication, and spiritual awareness. Light blue often appears in peaceful, serene dream environments, while dark blue may represent deep thought or sadness (feeling 'blue'). Blue water combines the emotional symbolism of water with the communicative energy of blue.
Island
Islands represent isolation, self-sufficiency, and refuge from the overwhelming 'ocean' of emotions or life demands. A tropical island paradise suggests a desire for escape and rest. A deserted island reflects loneliness and self-reliance. An island you can't leave represents feeling trapped in isolation. Islands also represent the conscious self surrounded by the vast unconscious (the sea).
