Every dream I've ever had has been in full color.

1. I have never had a dream in color - I always dream in colour

2. Do you dream in color? If so how often? Yes, 100%

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors. All.

4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? % Dont think so

5.*Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life? I once had a dream, where i saw a green dragon in the distance, but this green was not like any other green. Its very hard to explain but it was almost like a new colour. It seemed to have life and it was very nice to look at.

6. Do you have black and white dreams? Nope.

1. I have never had a dream in color: No, I have dreams in color.

2. Do you dream in color? If so how often? All the time.

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors: My dreams will either be normal colors, brighter than normal colors, and/or nighttime colors (black, white, and blue).

4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? No.

5. Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life? Yep. Usually my dreams have brighter colors than I see in everyday life. I see bright pinks and golds and blues.

6. Do you have black and white dreams? Not that I can remember. It's possible that some of my dreams that take place at night are black and white only.

1. I have never had a dream in color: False

2. Do you dream in color? If so how often? Yes, every night.

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors: It depends on the dream, and my mood before I go to bed. Sometimes I have really dark dreams that consist of dark, muted, dull colors, but other times I'll have brilliant, vivid dreams that consist of bright, colorful, vibrant colors like blues, greens, yellows, and reds. Mostly colors seen in nature, only brighter and more vivid/vibrant.

4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? Not that I can recall, but possibly. I'll certainly let you know if I do!

5. Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life? Yes, all the time! See question number 3 for more.

6. Do you have black and white dreams? Nope, not to my knowledge.

Great idea for a topic, Howie, by the way. I thought I'd already posted a good while back, but I see that I didn't.

I have an update, actually. Maybe reading this thread last night had something to do with it, but I had a dream with unique colorization last night. It had almost a duotone look to it. You know that gritty, slightly high contrast style that some movies are shot in? With concentration on a certain spectrum of colors? I had a dream like that this afternoon during a nap. The colors were mostly browns, dark reds, and dull greens, with some tan like dried grass. Muted, high contrast colors with a gritty, dirty feel.

Here's a link to the post in my dream journal, it's the fourth dream, with the green title: Rambo Dream

That's just it. It is an area so hard to describe some times. All we can do is put a "feel" to it.
I dirty feel. ~Nicely put.
Maybe we are anatomically not capable of seeing outside the ROYGBIV spectrum that us humans can see but we as humans may very well have the capacity to manifest colors that we believe to look different. With so many variables and combining thousands and thousands of variations of colors our mind could conjure up a color that subjectively we have not known.
no? Maybe?

Shit, even if it is not but we think and FEEL that it was like a new color then that is all that counts IMO. Just like a Placebo, if it works then who really cares but the ego?
What the hell am I talking about?

PS. Cool Dreams MOS. I like the addition of Pictures.
I must remind you, Rambo NEVER runs out of ammo. Us humans do though. blrp

I think you've hit the nail on the head, really. I don't know if you've ever read any of Terry Pratchett's books, the Discworld series especially, but he talks sometimes about a color called Octarine, the eighth colour. Wikipedia describes it pretty well:

Originally Posted by Wikipedia

The colour of magic on the Discworld, also often called the eighth colour. Octarine is strongly indicative of magic and can only be seen by wizards, and cats, who sometimes describe it as resembling a fluorescent greenish-yellow purple. As in conventional human colour vision, colour opponency prevents the perception of reddish-greenish or yellowish-bluish colours, it would therefore be impossible to perceive a colour as "greenish-yellow purple"; if greenish-yellow and purple lights were shone together a shade of grey would result, with pigments the result would be brown. The normal human visual system works by the presence of cones and rods in the eye. The ability of wizards to see octarine is explained by the additional presence of octagons. The colour octarine appears as black or invisible to ordinary people. A common conception of the colour is the colour of an incandescent filament when viewed through black-light film, a fluorescent white or ultrablue.

Whether our perception of colors in dreams is bound strictly to our physical sight is arguable, but I strongly believe that it is not. As in, like you say, our subconscious is capable of inventing colors that would be physically impossible for us to perceive. I know I've heard of being able to manifest senses in dreams that we could never actually experience, and if one can experience synesthaesia in a dream, why not see colors that are not otherwise viewable? And just because we can't see them, physically, with the naked eye does not mean they do not exist. I found this pretty interesting: The Octarine argument.

Also, thanks! I must admit, I stole the picture idea from O. And of course Rambo never runs out of ammo, he's always got his trusty knife!

Just thought I'd pitch in.

1. I have never had a dream in color: False

2. Do you dream in color? If so how often?: 99% of the time.

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors: Just normal, everyday colours. But if I had to pick a colour that appears most it'd probably be brown.

4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? Never

5. Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life? About 25% of the time so the answer would have to be: Sometimes.

6. Do you have black and white dreams? About 1% of the time.

1. I have never had a dream in color.

False. (I was actually quite shocked when i argued with my teacher once - he said ppl only ever dream in B&W - I couldnt believe what he was saying!)

2. Do you dream in color? If so how often?

Always.

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors.

Every colour, depending on how aware i am - of remembering them - some colours i will never forget - a sunset/sky/clouds/storm, was once a

purple(16 SVG) #800080 magenta3 #CD00CD sorry its too hard, none of these colours can acurately descibe that sky - it was every shade of purple and occasional pinks and every depth of grey cloud moving around (it was happening in fast-fwd - like when ppl film plants growing)

A bush with bees and bugs the other night had mulit-tonal leaves of every green.

I dream with very strong greens - light, dark - forest, lime. Fountains are aqua, and sparkle throught with light.


4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? %

Not usally - i can only remember 1. maybe .05%

5.*Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life?

Yes, my colours can be extraordinarily vivid - i have never before experienced these colours. But this would only be 50% of my remembered dreams.

6. Do you have black and white dreams?

Maybe very occasionally. If so, than only segments are in B&W. Or only one dream within the 3 or 4 i have a night.

Did I win something?

1. I have never had a dream in color = False

2. Do you dream in color? Yes If so how often? Most of the time.

3. My dreams mostly consist of this or these colors. = All every day colors that appear normally...except red, green, and blue, which are almost always more intense than usual. Worth noting that silver and gold hardly ever make an appearance.

4. Do you have monochromatic dreams? Yes. % I don't know...maybe about 5% of the time...? That's a guess. Not all that often.

5. Do you have dreams in shades that do not reflect your everyday life? = Yes. I've had a few where all the colors are a neon version; a few where everything was mostly black and white, except certain objects (mainly red, green, blue, and purple...one was yellow); one where eveything had a noticable blue overtone and one with an orange overtone, and one where all the color seemed faded or washed out.

6. Do you have black and white dreams? = Yes, but rarely. This is usually accompanied by a strange texture to everything as well, but not always.
