Apologies if this has already been posted, but this article is quite intriguing, IMO.

Hey I remember watching Universal's "The Mummy's Hand" as a kid and I had a nightmare that night where I was trapped in the Mummy's tomb. As I recall, the dream was indeed in B&W. My little brother had terrible nightmares after seeing "Night of the Hunter". I wonder if he dreamt of Robert Mitchum chasing him down in monochrome.

My dreams are usually variations on a theme of 1)- Being chased, & ultimately Eaten, by a big, horrible Booger of some sort, or 2) delivering a speech in front of a huge stadium, absolutely full, & discovering to my horror I am Buck-Ass Nekkid. I never really care if It's in color or b/w..

I grew up with a B&W set but I dream in Color, sometimes in very vivid 3 strip Technicolor!

Makes ya wonder if TV viewing has more effect on the brain than we realise!

I'll never see 55 again, so I guess that puts me in their "older generation", lol.

The article however fails to also include the fact that we DID see color movies at times, on the big screen.

I think most of my dreams are in B/W, but there are some that have color, or at least partially in color.
