Cleaning up the interpretation
I think the message of the dream is quite clear:
Rash and ill advised conclusions and assumptions are painful and costly. My subconscious could very well be saying "John...just what the hell are you thinking about?", or "John...what the hell convinced you to come to *THAT* conclusion!".
I would like to tidy it up by reviewing these other "minor" symbols.
Blue indicates liberation from worry and/or help from outside sources. The blue treasure chest, the two blue crowns and the blue dress that the woman was wearing were all roughly the same colour of blue. This woman was a genuine sweetheart who didn't deserve such an evil fate. That's interesting. And it's these stupid assumptions that are going to kill that relationship, that is if I don't do something now.
Black is an unfavorable omen unless it featured in a funeral or other appropriate situation, in which case it forecasts difficulties to overcome. Black was appropriate here since it lined the panels of a dark comic
Deep red forecasts unexpected good news. I don't know about that. The reds that were used to amplify the violent nature of the torture. How could it be unexpected good news?
King Happiness, prestige and prosperity are forecast in a dream or being, seeing, or meeting royalty, unless the dream had some embarrassing or unpleasant element in it, in which case it is a warning that you could be victimized by underhanded gossip, so keep your private affairs to yourself. Once again...gossip.
Okay...I think I have an idea, now.
The dream is warning me about gossip. It's telling me that I'm very quick to judge other people by gossip. Even though...even though I try not to, I do anyway. Why? I'm going to have to do a stream of consciousness writing on that and find out for myself.
