Do you dream in color? I just found out that I do!

Never have I been able to remember that there was color in my dreams until a set of circumstances occured a few days ago.

Apparently, from what I could find on the net, if a person views bright colors in the previous hours before sleeping they are more likely to have coloured dreams that they can remember. (This information was looked up after my color dream.)

We were watching CSI New York on the HDTV when a paint-ball fight was shown using fluorescent paints and UV lighting. The way the colors just went splat on the screen was intense.

So, the CSI NY paint-ball match was a definite winner! :heart:

At this dreams website, there was also a discussion about those who grew up with B/W TV as opposed to younger generations who focus on color media. I grew up with B/W TV and I still watch many old movies. Maybe too many documentaries about WWI and WWII?

BTW, there were all of these giant loud colored neck ties and ribbons hanging down from the ceiling at some sort of convention. All of them were very shiney and bright.

I just assumed everyone dreamed in color. I always have.

I have very vivid, lucid dreams. One's that I can often control and almost always recall in great detail when I wake up.

I always dream in color... except once it was black and white and there was this toucan-type bird flying around spreading color on everything.

I always have dreamt in color. I usually remember at least a few of my dreams every night too.

She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man.

I've never remembered any color. I'm also colorblind to red and somewhat to blue. :( Unfortunately I don't remember many dreams, but the ones I do are pretty fun as I pretty much have free reign to do as I please. :)

i don't even remember the specifics of my dreams.

The only thing I can remember is the fact that I dreamed, beyond that, no clue.

I definately dream in color. I have sets of dreams. Its like dreaming a whole mini series for the entire week. Because of that, I can remember dreams set that I had when I was a kid and I can probably write pages of detail regarding them.

I literally pick up where I left off each nights, its pretty awesome, I look forward to dreaming more about it. For instance, right now I'm at an old Cambridge type college setting hanging out in huge auditoriums taking class after class, but none of them are lecture classes they are all discussion classes so theres lots of interaction... its wierd and fun.

I definitely dream in color. Usually it's hard to remember for sure, but I've had a few dreams where color is specifically a plot point.

All of the dreams I remember are in colour. I'm pretty good at remembering some of the details each morning.

Maybe people who watch a great deal of gray scale media?

I dream in color... except when I realize I'm dreaming and then my dream instantly changes into static (like the b/w static on TV) and I'm stuck like that for a bit until I really wake up.

Everyone dreams... even if you do not remember them...
