People sometimes dream in color because of how their brains work during sleep. When you're asleep, your brain is still active, and it uses different parts to create dreams. Some people use the same part that helps them see colors while they’re awake, so those dreams look colorful. Others might use a part that doesn’t process color as well, making their dreams black and white. It’s kind of like watching a movie with color or without, it depends on which brain part is working.
Examples
- An adult seeing a red balloon in a dream while wearing blue glasses before bed.
- Someone waking up from a dream where the sky was pink, but their next dream was all gray.
