AN excerpt from Readers Digest February 2006.

By anylizing color patterns in dreams, based on a mans journal of 5000 entries an Arizona based researcher could accurately predict certain things about a mans emotional state. The researcher had correctly identified two separate years when the man experienced crisis his life. The anthropologist confirmed in 1997 he had clashed with a colleague the management issue, and in 2003 he'd had a falling out with a friend that left deep emotional scars.
How was Hoss able to gauge the dreamer's turmoil? "The clues were in the colors, he says". The anthropologist's dominant dream hues were reds and blacks, which spiked during difficult times. "even without knowing the events in his life," Hoss observes, "we accurately determine the emotional states based on those colors in his dreams."

Hoss is among a growing group of researcher who, thanks to cutting edge medical technology & innovative psychological research, are beginning to decipher the secrets hidden in our dreams.

This being one reason that I believe this color quiz is significant.
Being an advocate of abstract art, one of the major important aspects this genre of art relies upon (aside from composition) is color and hue. This to portray the mood that you want to get across for the viewer or that of which you expect the viewer to respond to. Different shades and hues portray character and mood. It creates an atmosphere.
In an abstract world of your subconscious it seems more than what would be expected from the content of your dreams.

Lighting in dreams seem related to general mood of dream. The more exciting (good and bad) the brighter everything is.

You know some times dreaming black and white could depend, I remembered reading thru this that when I was a kid like 4-5 I had this black and white old tv in my room and I watched alot of tv before sleep, and because of that I used to have alot of black and white dreams, the funny thing is I remember sometimes confusing the vidvines of the black and white and cofusing in waking life if I was able to see in black and white. Don't know if this could help in anything Howetzer.

What is the lucid task that everyone has completed?

And for the color thing.... Do you think people with a lack in color receptors can dream in the missing color?

Look under (Lucid task for the month! )

A person lacking because of an injury or born that way?
I would guess, and that is all it is, a guess, Is that a color would be able to be perceived if a person has seen that color before. If there nerve receptors have been damaged from birth they would most likely not be able to ever see that color.

I guess you might have to elaborate on if the receptors and if they are missing an entire color or lacking in the general perception color.

I guess that would make a good experiment. Thanks.
