Humans cannot see every colour there is. For example we can't see infrared light waves. That's why they're so good for wireless electronics. Otherwise there would be red lights everywhere. Birds and some other animals CAN see them. Some humans can see and extra colour that most can't. Only females have this. Not all of course, just a few. And some people who take psychedelics (including men) who have a certain gene but haven't been able to see the extra colour IRL, can see it while tripping. Same with dreams, because their brain CAN process it, but their eyes can't.

i was making the assumption that color (while facilitated by the brain) is simply a manifestation of variations of the frequencies of the visual light spectrum, which doesn't include infrared. perhaps this assumption is invalid, but currently that's the opinion i hold. the previously stated idea that a new color could be created/experienced in the human mind, therefore, i believe wouldn't be possible.

not that it's really that important anyway. the brain can give one the impression that something is occurring during say, a dream, when in fact this event is not actually visually manifest (i.e. events that are not visually feasible, such as multiple objects existing distinctly as one object)

Kinda like this:

except you see everything at the same time, instead of just where your looking at.

Of course the brain can process it. But to make a new color, you wouldn't hear it, or use any other sense except sight. You even said yourself that if we could see infrared lighting it would just appear as red. If we were in a black and white world, we wouldn't be able to see a color like red; it would just show up as gray. Therefore you wouldn't be able to process it with your eyes, making it useless.

In naruto, the ability to see 360 degrese is called the "byakugan". Iv'e tried it in a lucid dream before, but when i got to acctually doing it. I had no idea of how it would look, feel. And i simply just didn't no what to do aha. So i kinda didn't :?
