Do you dream in Colour?

[Old Catch]

I tend to dream in black and white. When I was little, I thought everyone did. Sometimes I dream in color though. Hm. Is that weird?

 

[o_O]

I dream in color :D At least for about an hour when I wake up they are.
But for some reason when I recall them a while after more things seem to be black and white then color...

 

[Pikachu]

It depends.
When I am really tired, I dream in black and white
But when I just go to sleep normally, my dreams are in color.

I definitely dream in colors, and I often specifically remember the color of objects in dreams (off the top of my head, browsing LiveJournal with the traditional blue headers for comments and an icon I specifically noted as being black-and-white; a huge gray blob-monster in a hotel room with pale green walls decorated with flowers; and a party in which everything was red and blue).

I think the whole black-and-white-television-making-people dream-in-black-and-white thing makes sense, though, actually; I tend to dream in third person, for instance, which is obviously not my personal experience of life, but rather something I pick up from films.

Although I do dream in colour, now that you mention it I can't actually remember things like what colour they were.
I could say 'the carpet was red in my dream', but when I actually remember my dream, I don't remember the carpet being red. I just know that it was.

I'm sure that's not what you meant though~

No, I know exactly what you mean. I remember having dreams where this random guy I've never seen before is my philosophy teacher, and even though he looks nothing like him, in my dream I just know he is.
Or knowing that a random house I'm in belongs to a woman I used to work with, even though I've never been there and have no idea what it actually looks like X3
Dreams are strange things.

Stuff like this happens to me a lot. =O There will be someone in my dream that is a particular person, but then I wake up and go, "Hmm, are you sure it was ____? o_O" I also tend to dream of places I've been in a previous dream. It's kinda cool, actually; I'm almost familiar with that particular dreamscape...

Back to the main question, I've actually never thought about whether I dream in color or black and white. I'm pretty sure I dream in color, because I do remember several specific colors in a couple dreams, but then I've never really paid much attention to colors in dreams. Could it be that I take colors for granted in real life, and don't notice them as much in dreams...? Hmm.

I dream in color, and remember all my dreams. They tend to take about twelve hours after I've stopped thinking about them to disappear; if I try to recall it after that, I'll have forgotten unless I deliberately memorized part or all of it or explained part or all of it to someone else. I have no clue why this works but it does and it's the greatest thing ever.

Of the few times I can remember dreams they're in colour.

 

[Wymsy]

Interesting topic. I happen to dream in colour. My dreams are almost always very lucid and vivid. I remember most of them almost perfectly.

 

[shadow_lugia]

o.o Interesting question...

I can't remember much of my dreams, but I think I dream in color.

Yeah, I remember seeing a red Spiderman...

 

[nyuu]

Colour. I rarely dream, though.

 

[Silversnow]

I dream in both color and black and white, sometimes in the same dream.

The dreams I remember tend to be nightmares, though, and those are bizarre.

 

[Crazy Linoone]

I dream in color. Actually, I don't think I had ever dreamed in black and white before... Hmmmm...

I sometimes dream in faded colors, like, not real, sharp, pretty colors you see in life, but sort of faded and light colors. Like the sun's too bright or something.

Dreaming in black and white would be so weird.

 

[H-land]

I don't dream in colour- I don't do anything in colour.
I dream in color, though. =D
...Ahem.

Oft times with sound and sometimes smells, too. Usually not smells, though... Or, honestly? I don't usually remember my dreams very well.

Really? I've never smelled anything in a dream; that's neat. Also, am I he only one who dreams primarily in black and white? o.o

Same here... I only remember tastes (mmmm.... Beef Noodles.... *drool*), but I don't think I ever smelt anything in dreams. I think.

I think you are the only one who dreams in black and white. That's pretty interesting.

Although dreaming in color is fun. coughMASSIVE RAINBOWScough

I have weird dreams.

 

[greategret]

I'm not really sure if I dream in color or not, I'm bad at visualizing things. I remember in one of my dreams somebody's hair was brown, but I can't remember what the brown looked like.

I have weird dreams.

I've never tasted anything either. D: And all my dreams are nightmares. You are rubbing your noodles and rainbows in my face! ;;

 

[#1 bro]

I dream in pretty vivid color.

Basically all my dreams are about Super Mario 64 nowadays. It's ridiculously awesome.

 

[ColorBlind]

I dream in color. I don't think I ever had any black and white dreams. It seems weird to me.

Sometimes I get into a deep sleep and the things that I'm dreaming about seem real. It's happened several times before. I don't think I can even wake up from them. The only thing that stops them is that they somehow disappear from my head and I completely forget what I was dreaming about.
