To dream about the colour brown suggests you are trying to cleanse your life of something unwanted.

Perhaps you are feeling certain emotions, have habits you don’t think are serving you, unpleasant thoughts or you are in a negative situation in your waking hours that you want to get out of.

Think about the things that are holding you back or bringing you down- are you able to remove these from your life? Or at the very least distance yourself from them?

If the colour brown was lighter, you may be successfully ridding your life of the things that are doing you a disservice. The dream could be telling you to keep going and not to give up now. 

The colour may be lightening because you feel like a burden has been lifted from your shoulders- even if you aren’t completely finished in your purging. 

Consider the phrase ‘brown nosing’- are you trying to curry favour with someone in your life at present? Or is someone trying to get in your good books?

The dream might be a warning to stop seeking approval from someone- if you have to work this hard- they are not worth it. 

If someone is striving for your attention consider the reasons why and try not to focus too much on the compliment but what is behind the enthusiasm. 

Brown trousers in a dream could mean you are scared of something in your life right now. What fills you with fear? Perhaps you need to face this fear head on or maybe you need to turn and head in the other direction if your fear is justified and there is real danger ahead. 

The colour brown where food is concerned, indicates a healthier version of something- brown bread, brown rice, brown pasta- all of which are arguably better for you than their other versions. The dream could be related to your health. Can you do something to improve your wellbeing like change your diet? Exercise more? Seek out some complimentary therapies?

To see a brown bag in your dream might pertain to your environmental outlook. Do you need to live a more eco-friendly existence? 

If you have no regard for the impact your actions are having on the planet, perhaps you need to learn more about your footprint and how you can reduce it.
