Imagine you're dreaming of a bright red balloon floating in the sky. It’s full of color and excitement! But when you wake up, all you remember is a plain black-and-white balloon. That's because your brain works differently while you’re asleep than when you're awake. When we dream, our brains make colorful pictures, but when we remember them later, those colors fade away like a wet paintbrush on paper.
Examples
- A girl dreams about a bright green bicycle, but she only remembers it as a simple black-and-white bike.
- A man sees a sunset in his dream with orange and pink clouds, but when he wakes up, all he can recall is a gray sky.
- A boy dreams of a purple castle, but later just thinks of a plain white building.
