I too had believed the "you cannot die in your dreams" theory. Then I had a dream where I was shot in the top of the head. I quite clearly died in my dream. I woke up and was pretty freaked out by it. I was convinced for a long time that I had forseen my eventual death. Now that years have passed, it is a much less intense feeling.
My dreams are almost always vivid. I keep a journal by my bed and write my dreams down in it to help remember them. I sometimes even email my friends. Just the process of getting it out of your head into another medium seems to help.
I also think I dream in black and white. At least I never remember any color to them. Until one time I did have flashes of color in a dream, but only certain parts of it. I have no idea what that meant.
I wouldn't say you're crazy though SpoilSport. Be glad that you dream at all. I know of many people who claim that they do not dream at all, or at least do not remember them.
