Do you dream in black and white or in color?

This is always a curious question to me. Everyone I know seems to dream in color, and I do as well. In fact, I didn't even know that people dreamt in black and white, I just assumed that everyone dreamt in color because I do. I think I only know one person that dreams in black and white. Which do you dream in?

I know I dream in color, also. Because when I wake up, I can distinctly remember the color of a car, or a person's hair, in my dream. Sometimes I don't even notice color, but I still remember the details of the dream as if it really heppened. Take care!!!

Yup, that's the same here! Like, my mother and I both had a dream of my recently deceased aunt and we were exchanging details, right down to the color of her hair and her glasses!

I dream in both black and white and in color. It really depends on the night. However, I'd probably have to say that I dream more often in color than in black and white. But I still dream in both.

Really? I've never heard of anyone dreaming in black and white AND color. How neat!

For the most part I would say that I dream in color seeing as that's what I usually remember about them afterward, like there was a blue van or whatever. I think that it may be because I am a very visual person and so I tend to have very vivid dreams with lots of detail. At least the dreams that I remember have lots of detail and are in color.

I dream in color most of the time, and I don't remember one single dream in black and white, the only one dream that included black and white moment was a dream which I watched something like a movie, and the movie was in black and white.

Its funny I was wondering that one day and the next time I had a dream I realized I dream in color - I saw a red car in my dream.

Yeah, it's not really anything you stop and think about every day. Someone asked me and I had to stop and think and I was like "You can dream in black and white?" It never occurred to me before. ^_^

I dream in black and white most of the time and few colors. I don't know why. Maybe because of the eyesight or I don't like very bright light that hurts my eyes. I think it doesn't matter whether in colors or black and white. The important is u can get out of the dream otherwise, you can't wake up.

Well, some people can recall their dreams quite vividly (myself included), so they have no doubt about whether it was in color or not.
