Do
you dream in color? I had a big conversation with my friend last week
about Dreaming in Color. She thought I was crazy when I told her I
"always dream in color." She said her dreams were in black and white.
What a shame. I cannot image black and white dreams. Where would all of
my vivid colorful compositions come from. Yes, I do dream many of my
compositions and even get up in the middle of the night and go into the
studio to quickly write my ideas down so I don't forget them by morning.
You
know how you have a dream and then when you wake up you can't remember
it or parts of it but you know you had one? Now I
keep a sketchbook next to my bed! Is that crazy?
There
is no experimental proof I have seen of this, but researchers agree
that most dreams are in color. However, because the dream fades so
quickly after we awake, our memories of the dream are often recalled in
gray tones.
Studies
show that those who are in tune with color in waking life tend to
remember more color in dreams as well. I have also noticed that those of
us who grew up with black & white TV have more black and white
dreams. I haven't properly researched this yet, it's just an
observation.
