I have spoken of this story many times, always with a yearning to experience this dream once again. Can one make this request, along with any hopes of it being answered?
So… I had this dream, many years ago, a few times as it happens, and in this dream, I discovered a new and exciting color. This was the most exciting thing that had ever happened to me, and I was grateful. This color was beyond description, like, duh! I could only characterize it with words like mesmerizing, or enlightening. It was just so magnificent. The problem was that it could not be reproduced with any of our photographic or printing processes.
So, what to do? How could I prove that I had experienced this color? As time went on, I thought that maybe Zentangle was the “color” I had seen. Sometimes, dreams will entice you with visions of your future, but ever so sneakily. Zentangle also came to me/us (Rick and me), in a surreal adventure one morning, about a year after we got together. This was getting more complicated than life had promised me. Rick and I quit our jobs and proceeded to see where this would take us. This was about 20 years ago.
Fast forward to Monday, 21 April 2025, and what do I see first thing that morning? An article about someone discovering a new-to-this-world color that could only be seen through a special lens. How about that! I could have told them that 40 years ago. But they probably wouldn’t have believed me. But here’s the best part - they try to describe it as something like an extremely intense version of a blueish green. But if they look really closely they might just see patterns.

Maria you were way ahead and have created the wonderful world of Zentangle from your dream. So much more wonderful than this maybe new color. They are not looking closely enough to see the patterns!
