Imagine you're watching a black-and-white movie, but when you go to bed, your brain starts painting the scenes with color. That's what happens when you dream in color, even if everything around you is black and white. It all depends on how active certain parts of your brain are while you sleep. The more awake your brain feels during dreams, the brighter and more colorful those dreams become.
Examples
- Even though you're used to seeing black and white all day, your brain can still add color when you sleep.
- Your dreams feel like a cartoon with bright colors even if the real world is in black and white.
