This is the nature —and beauty, in my opinion— of literature; everyone finds their own meaning in the words, whether the author intended them to have a meaning or not. I disagree with the phrase "reading too deeply", because there's no depth of meaning that is "too far" so long as it rings true in some aspect of reality.
Sometimes, the author just means that a curtain is blue. But if someone interprets it as an obstacle to sunlight, a symbolism for sadness and hardship, then that's not "wrong"— It's just a symbolism the author didn't create intentionally.
