Why Do We Dream in Color Sometimes?

We dream in color sometimes because the part of our brain that handles colors is more active during dreams. Imagine your brain is like a painter, sometimes it uses all the colors, and sometimes it only uses black and white. When you're tired or stressed, your brain might take a break from using colors in dreams.
