Do you really dream in Black and white?

I have very vivid dreams, all in amazing Technicolor!!! :-D I’ve always wondered about that, too…if people do dream w/out color, it must be boring.

Never. I’ve only ever dreamed in colour. No black and white, no greyscale, no sepia…

I dream in color and the dreams tend to come true. Perhaps dreaming in black and white was a holdover from when all the media available was in that color range. We’re shown color from the first day we are born. We live in a rainbow world now.

@gemiwing but the whole world wasn’t black & white… :-)

I rarely remember my dreams, but when I do, they’re in color.

Hello, this is interesting. According to Wikipedia Twelve percent of people dream only in black and white. Recent research has suggested that those changing results may be linked to the switch from black-and-white film and TV to colour media.

Here’s a link to a white paper by Eric Switzgebel on the topic. Interesting that dreams can be influenced by technological advances in media.

@PandoraBoxx I’m gonna have a lookie at wikipedia – tks for the linky

@ccrow But a lot of it was. No hot pink- what a dismal world! (insert cheeky grin)

I dream most of the time with no awareness of color. Sometimes, though, my dreams are very vividly in color.

I dream in colour!

I actually don’t have any idea if I dream in color or not.. It’s more like mental pictures, and i can’t really remember any time i saw a specific color in a dream, although i can’t remember them being colorless either.

I have very realistic dreams and I think they are usually in color.

I don’t recall having ever dreamed in black and white (grayscale). My dreams look more like color LOMO photography.

@SirGoofy, lurve for making me look up LOMO photography. I found this cool digital how-to.

I’m a man of color and so are my dreams.

I remember having a dream where I had a lose tooth at an old playground I used to go to. I pulled it out, and it was a red shark tooth. I couldn’t have known it was red unless my dreams are Technicolor!

I have every now and again but not all the time…so there is an evident distinction…one might concur from this that it means no we don’t dream in black and white all the time…(really)

this is how i introduce my self in college courses – hi my name is ” ” i dream in black and white. and then i sit down. lol

I don’t think I’ve ever had a dream in black and white so count me out on that one.

Yes but I’m hoping to upgrade to Hi-Def !
