Why Do We Dream In Color But Remember Them In Black And White?

We dream in color, but we remember them in black and white because the part of our brain that handles color doesn’t work as hard when we are dreaming. It’s like you draw a picture with all your favorite crayons, but when you wake up, it looks like it was drawn with just two colors: black and white. Your brain is busy doing other things while you sleep, so it forgets the extra details, like color. That's why dreams feel full of life, but they don’t always look that way when we remember them.
