Answer 1

I think I dream in color. Researchers agree that most dreams are in color. Because dreams fades so quickly after we are 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.

Try the following exercise:
During the day, notice at least once an hour the color of something, anything. My guess is that you will start recalling more color in your dreams.
