are your dreams b&w or colors?

I always dream in colors.. in fact, have never dreamt in b&w.. but I've heard my friends often dream in b&w..

what about you?

and what makes this difference? - why some dream in colors whilst others in b&w? - is there any meaning? - what about our brains have something to do with this phenomenon?

Colors and 3D in my dreams.

Dreams are a way for the brain to sort out external stimuli that do not fit into the patterns with which we're familiar. Those pieces get sorted into the everyday experience in dreams-part of the way people learn.
Those outliers always find their place, IMHO.

yes, always 3d my dreams, too.. so there are 2d dreams? I did not know about that.. interesting..

I think that most of my dreams look blury but I know the characters..so maybe i would say black & white..


the only dream i can remember in colors was one of me taking a my future wedding picture...my favorite colors turquoise and white..

I see colours in my dreams, yes. Sometimes, particular dream is "marked" by a certain colour like for example: in one dream red objects were accentuated (red hair of my friend (I know it is her not by seeing the whole her but her hair), red apples falling on white stone, bowl of red tomato soup...there was some more red objects that I can't recall now)

Sometimes in a certain period specific colour is showing up in my dreams. In one point of my life (something like 3 months) many variations of blue were constantly showing up in my dreams - blue shirt, blue tree, blue butterfly, blue face..etc.

Also, not related to colours but has to do with repetition of things in dreams, like numbers. I had a dream where everything was in a sigh of nuber 3. I saw 3 whitches, 3 cats, 3 mouse, 3 birds, when I looked at clock it showed 3. Happened to you?

Interesting anyhow...

I always dream in colour If I dreamt in black and white id definitely know something is up and Id awaken??_??_but I have met ppl who dream in BW and i thought it was really weird..

I had only one dream in b&w and I can still remember it clearly. b&w, old cartoon-like dream. It was...different.

I always dream in colour. I've also heard that you can't read in dreams, you can look at something and understand what it says but it won't have letters. I've managed once to have a lucid dream by recognising this but I usually just wake up.
