It's true that most people do dream in color, but some may not notice colors in their dreams. Because color is such a natural part of our visual experience, we sometimes overlook colors in our dreams. Another reason may have to do with how our dream fades so quickly from our memory upon waking that when we may be able to recall the dream it is in shades of gray.
However, it is speculated that the dreams that are in black and white can be an indication of a depression or sadness.
Another theory as to why someone might dream in black and white has to do with, believe it or not, television.
No one hears much about the black and white theory today. Most people have color TV sets. But, in the 1950's (before the popularity of color TV), dream researchers commonly thought that people dreamt in black-and-white, although both earlier and later treatments of dreaming assert that dreams have color.
Now the only time we might dream in black and white is after spending long weekends watching old movies on cable.
This is not to imply you spent the days before your black and white dream watching The Turner Classic Movie Channel, where most movies are in black and white, but it's something worth thinking about as you look for reasons for your colorless dreams.
I really don't think there is "anything wrong" with you.
But the next time, before you go to sleep, try and adjust your internal color control.

Well I'm not an expert but I hardly ever dream at all, and I am fine otherwise. From what I have heard the dreaming part depends on how deeply you are asleep. If you don't sleep long at the deepest level of sleep you will not dream. Also it has something to do with brain chemistry which is not psychological at all. I would not worry about it one bit. Just think about the people whose every dream is a nightmare!

having dreams in colour is actually rare. when something is coloured in a dream it means that it needs extra attention. when it comes to the old picture looking images in your head, you might just have a big imagination, and now you get obsessed with it. just relax and enjoy your imagination, those pictures will change.

i love Hollister. each and everything of their keep i'd more beneficial than likely placed on and that i'm a touch choosy individual, too. there is not any longer some thing incorrect with them, all of it basically relies upon on each and each and every individual's tastes. aspect sparkling? those that like to bash Hollister basically do not have any lives.

That's probably nothing, could be because of your age and when you where a child that's what you watched is black and white television. But if your seriously worried about it you could pay a **** load of money to talk to a professional! lol :-\
