The brain is split into two distinctive hemispheres that have different functions. Dreams may help to bring these functions together as one harmonious whole.

Reflect on the meaning of your dream in the light of this quote from the Bhagavad Gita: "By passion for the 'pairs of opposites.' By those twin snares of Like and Dislike, Prince, All creatures live bewildered, save some few who, quit of sins, holy in act, informed, Freed from the 'opposites' and fixed in faith, cleave unto me."
Orange (Color)
The color orange corresponds to the second chakra and, at times, may be associated with our reproductive system. The second chakra is said to be responsible for our reproductive health and has something to do with our sexual expression.

Consider your sexual and reproductive health and then make other associations in order to obtain a personal interpretation of the color orange.

Owl
It is another symbol for the unconscious. It usually represents wisdom and virtue, and your unconscious may be giving you important massages, so pay attention to the details in the dream. In the American Indian tradition, the owl is considered to be the eagle of the night. Dreaming about owls is a powerful dream, which may indicate that changes are on the way. Superstition based dream interpretations suggest that dreaming about an owl is a negative omen, which indicates a reversal in good fortune. An owl in the house predicts family arguments and chasing it away might cause things to work out for the best.
Mystical Meaning - Superstition says that this is a melancholy dream predicting sadness, poverty, and sometimes disgrace.
Oyster
An oyster in your dream may have sexual connotations. It usually represents the female sex organ or, if eaten by a man, may represent his ability or desire to perform well sexually. Oysters are also considered symbols of humility and wisdom. Their meaning is associated with that of pearls. The most negative interpretation is that the oyster represents a well guarded individual; a person who has shut himself off from others. Attempt to connect some of these ideas to your emotional life and overall experiences and keep in mind the setting, context and outcome of the dream.
