I came across bits of information saying that only creative, special folks dream in colors (about 15-20% of people) What the case is with every one of you?

Roll fellas...

(reliable) source?

I don't know anyone who doesn't ever dream in colour, though I've heard the saying too.

I am a creative type and I dream in color, and they are often lucid.

I read this somewhere also.

I haven't come across anyone that dreams in black and white. 0o

I don't remember any color. I don't remember black and white either.

I often don't remember my dreams, but all the dreams I've ever had have been in color.

I thought that was the way everyone was.

The original post is not boosting my ego any.

um, yeah, color. Don't really consider myself that 'creative' at least not in a visual sense.

Shouldn't people has stopped dreaming in black & white since after 1960?

My dreams are in 4d, you all have some catching up to do.

The world has been in color a lot longer than that. It had to have started around 1917. Where the world started to develop reds and greens, but no blues.

Yeah but when did it become the norm?

I think it became the norm around that time. Maybe 1934.

But before that, it was a two colors (red and green).

A lot of artists born before a Technicolor world painted in color, but a lot of artists were also insane.

You live in color. Why wouldn't you dream in color?

I never heard of anyone that dreamed in black and white. That would be cool hear about.

Just a quick question: Do any of you guys ever realize that you are dreaming in a dream and are still able to continue the dream. I seriously have had this happen to me on more than one occasion, and when I tell it to friends they call bullshit on me.

Weren't shows like the Johnny Carson show still in black & white even in the early 60s? That's an example of what I'm thinking about when I say norm.

Sometimes my dreams are in black and white but with something of significance in color.

It's nearly impossible to explain in words as it really isn't black and white at all. More like a gestalt of no color at all with something of importance being more than color.

Sometimes my dreams are multisensory and other times more like visual ideas.

Maybe fourth dimensional is a good descriptor.

Yes hun. You mean lucid dreams. I have them every other dream.
