Do You Dream in Color?

If so, you probably were raised watching color television according to a study by Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at the University of Dundee. She interviewed people of different ages about their childhood television and movie viewing along and combined her data with some historical studies to come to her conclusion (it should be noted that I think her sample size we pretty small to make such broad conclusions!) Younger people raised on color television and movies dreamed in color and older people raised on black and white television and movies dreamed in black and white more frequently than the younger subjects.

I want to dream in 1080p with Dobly Digital surround sound!

And before television, people did not dream.

I dream in color. Raised in the 50's and 60's. Black & white TV until early/mid-60's. Did my dreams change when the TV did?

I also wondered about dreams before television...guess they couldn't find the data.

Unfortunately.. I rarely remember my dreams. So I can't say whether I dream in color or not.

Would really like to know what I was dreaming about the other night when my DH said I was talking in my sleep about black lung....
