What do earth tones in dreams mean?

Question

i have had two dreams in the past week, and all have taken place with earth tones (ie. dark browns, tans, etc.). one i had a dream about several of the people at my school dying. they were killed in a bank accident. I live in a small town so stuff like that doesn't happen very often. and two makes it even worse. In real life I had a friend and cousin (same person) accidently killed (he was ran over by a truck, by one of his friends) Well in this dream i said something to the effect of last year my cousin this year these two. I went to school the next day and it was full of earth tones. The other dream i had i worked at walmart and it was a two or more story walmart and i was on one of the upper floors. It was my first day and someone i knew was supervising me and training me. The surrounding was secluded, dark, browns and grays. And I had a relcliner behind my register. I got out of it, but before i did that i leaned back too far and knocked over the register. And some family fought.

Answer 1

At a guess maybe you haven't dealt with your cousin passing and the dream shows you are still worried about the death of those close to you.

And I think the second dream deals with feelings of inadequacy

Here found this on a website:

Before you consulting these definitions of what the color in your dreams signifies,  first consider your own personal and special associations with the color. Does the color remind you of a particular person, a body part, a childhood toy, or some object. For example, the color yellow may remind you of the childhood school bus your rode in or the yellow house you grew up in.  However, below are common associations of various colors to get you started.

Brown

Brown denotes worldliness, practicality, domestic and physical comfort, conservatism, and a materialistic character. Brown also represents the ground and earth.

Gray

Gray indicates fear, fright, depression, ill health, ambivalence and confusion. You may feel emotionally distant or detached.

I dont know if it helps. but good luck.
