I thought about this because of a dream lurkette told me about yesterday.

You know the statistic that like one person in ten dreams in color? Here's what I've noticed. Whenever you bring that up, it seems like everybody always claims to dream in color, and has some vividly colorful moment of a dream that they can use as evidence.

I know I do. I had a dream a few months ago with a bright green carpet in it.

I'm suspecting that it's not one in ten PEOPLE that dream in color, but rather one in ten DREAMS that have color in them. Because most of the dreams I remember (which isn't a lot), I don't remember anything in particular about colors in the dream.

So how about you? Do you dream in color? How do you know?

Related question: How can people have dreamt in black and white before photography was invented? They'd have had no idea what black and white was! Discuss.
