Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would treat orange as part of the dream's feeling, asking what it warmed and how you responded. Blending red's heat with yellow's brightness, it might carry vigour or appetite. The colour leans on the scene it lights.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung would read orange as a warm and energetic colour, near to the fire of red but softened toward yellow's light. It can mean enthusiasm, warmth, and a turning outward to others, or a restless excess of the same. The dream's tone shows which side it takes.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Under the continuity view, orange often follows from a warm, sociable, or energetic waking mood. It may also echo something orange from your day, autumn leaves, fruit, or a sunset. Your own association is the surest place to start.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
Orange and amber were colours of fire, harvest, and the low autumn sun, tied to warmth and the fruits of the year. Amber itself was prized across the old world as a stone of light and protection. The colour has long sat close to flame and plenty.
