Some people dream in color, others see only black and white, it's like having a TV that plays in full color or just shades of gray. A little part of your brain decides which one you get to watch every night! If you're dreaming in color, your brain is working extra hard during sleep to paint your dreams with bright colors. People who see only black and white might have been used to watching old TVs, or they may just be different from others.
Examples
- Imagine your brain is a TV, some people watch full-color shows, while others only see black and white.
- If you play with bright crayons all day, your dreams might come in vivid colors at night.
- People who grew up watching old black-and-white movies may dream the same way.
