Ahh yes, I think I can answer this one.
Before colour was invented in the 1960's everything was black and white so scientists naturally thought that we dreamt in black and white. They just haven't updated their records. It really is as simple as that.

There is probably something in the brain that means that the images we dream of are in black and white and then another part of the brain adds colour to our memories of them... I would guess. It's probably one of those things which is technically true but has no real bearing on our lives and does not change a thing.

What resources defend your question?
When one can even remember a dream, I don't think color or black/white is an issue. It's usually a mundane feature of a dream. But those who think dreams fortell something, one should look up the meaning of a dominate color in a dream and what it could mean.

I think it has something to do with the measurement of the brain activity. Volunteers for sleep analysis were wired up to electrical impulse monitors and their brain impulses were recorded. The Scientists discovered that, the part of the brain which relates to colours was either not used, or sparingly used during the period of dreaming (REM)

They don't. We dream in color half of the time,and the other half black and white. We also know 70% of the people in our dreams.

Never heard that - I don't know if I dream in color or just black and white - most times I don't remember the dream anyway - is it important that you dream in color?!@

Good one. How do we know if we dream in colour? let alone the scientist?

that isn't true, I have never once had a dream in black and white, they say dogs dream in black and white but how the hell would anyone know that either?

Presumably, they asked them to remember some feature of their dream that could be any colour (like somebody's t-shirt) and asked them what colour it was. The feature could not be, e.g. a traffic light, because you know stop-lights are red, so you'd be apt to say it was red even if you didn't actually see red.

I think the scientists must all be dogs... I dream in vivid colour
