Psychology
An amethyst can be read as a wish to settle yourself and resist temptation or excitement. Purple often links to spirituality, intuition and healing; you may be turning inward to listen.
Folklore and history
Amethyst is purple quartz and February's birthstone. Its name comes from a Greek word meaning "not drunk", and it was said to guard against intoxication. Purple has long been a noble colour East and West; dream lore reads it as resisting temptation and sharpening intuition.

This site's view
In this site's view, the dream asks what you are getting drunk on: praise, a fast-talking pitch, a glowing screen. A deep, clear purple means calm is returning; a pale one suggests practising a little distance.
Going deeper: our reading
Amethyst is often found lining hollow cavities in rock called geodes, and in Brazil and Uruguay geodes as tall as a person have been unearthed. From outside they are rough lumps of stone, yet split open they reveal a purple world. It can also fade in sunlight. In this site's reading, people who dream of amethyst often have a rich inner life that is invisible from outside and that they show no one. Cracking a rock to find purple crystals points to beginning to notice strength or sensitivity that lay dormant within you. Sitting inside a purple cave suggests your heart wants quiet time to withdraw and restore itself. Watching the colour fade may mean constant exposure to others is wearing out your inner freshness. This is our speculation, but the brilliance no one sees from outside may be the most worth protecting.
