Some people dream in color, like a bright, lively cartoon, others see everything in black and white, like an old TV show. Scientists think this happens because of how the brain works during sleep. If you've watched many black-and-white shows before going to bed, your dreams might look like that too! It's like when you watch a lot of red balls, your dreams may be full of red ones.
Examples
- A child dreams of a rainbow-colored castle after watching a colorful cartoon.
- An old man sleeps and dreams only of black-and-white television shows he used to watch every night.
- A painter dreams of bright, bold colors because they spend their days mixing paints.
