I sometimes have very vivid dreams, but I can rarely remember them.

Are they in color? Dreams are supposed to be in color, but I can't remember
the colors. I will try to dream about a color (other than black) tonight.

Apparently some people dream in color, others in black and white. Until
recently I wasn't sure, but I had a dream that involved some colors a few
weeks ago.

I attempted to dream in color, but it seemed like it was all grey. How do
you know you were dreaming in color?

You remember, just as you may remember any aspect of a dream.

For some reason, as hard as I try to dream in color, it does not work. Last
night I kept dreaming about train noises, which are colorless.

How does one go about trying to dream about something or in
some particular way?

One thinks very hard about colors before falling asleep. I find that my
dreams are usually about unfinished business fromthe prior day. But I have
not been able to remember anything for a few days (my dreams, I mean). Do
you dream in color? What do you dream about?
The train noises were from this morning, and probably had something to
do with the next-door driveway.

I find if I'm thinking about something as I fall asleep, I tend to dream about
it. Sometimes I will fall asleep thinking about some really complicated
problem, and will have a horrible night of thinking too hard in my dreams to
stay asleep very long. Then there was the week when we had to renumber all
the computers and routers at work, and I found myself waking up dreaming about
IP addresses.

Did you actually come up with a solution to anything in your dreams? I find
I usually just scramble together all the events of the previous day. Early
this morning I woke out of a dream about my health insurance rates going down
as I got older because statistically older adults listen to less rock music
(see the health item on health and aging, which I must have responded to just
before going to sleep). I often dream about noises just before waking, and
this time I dreamed my knee was cold (it was, the blanket was off it). Does
anyone have visual dreams who can tell us about whether they are in color?

I've been trying to pay attention.....and am pretty sure they are in
color.....but my waking memory of dreams is so fleeting that I am not sure.

Sometimes I have wonderful breakthru ideas in my dreams, and I might actually
scribble a note on waking up. By midday the idea is seen as worthless. :/

Occasionally I come to some great conclusion, which I rarely remember long
enough to do anything useful with it. More often, I just keep waking up
thinking about whatever the problem is, and then feel horrible the next day.
Mostly, I try not to think too hard about anything while going to sleep.

I taught myself to dream in color, by asking myself, in the dream or when
I was reviewing it upon first waking, what color things were, and really
looking at them. First was blue, then blue and green- really watercolory-
then full color. I still remember the sort of blue-delft landscape, with
lots of stairs in the streets and on the houses, narrow and winding, neat.
Last night I had lots of "sorting things out" dreams, about stuff I'm
working on or dealing with lately. Didn't take enough time to fix it in
memory- too busy capturing a small boy and dumping him in the shower- so
now I can't recall the details. Pity, I wanted to sort it out and see
which bits are bothering me, it seemed interesting.

Last night, I had two dreams I remembered. One was about getting an obscene
phone call, and getting into a lengthy discussion with the caller about
something. The other was about a book I'd seen in the window of Dawn Treader
books. I went back this morning to look for the book, and saw that it had
been sold. I asked the lady at the desk, and she said she remembered the book
- so I know I'm not imagining this - but she didn't remember the name.

I don't know if this is really dream related or more "down-time
during sleep" related but when I'm working on a difficult
task, maybe something like a tricky rhythm in some music
I'm trying to play, I'll take the sheet music to bed and
read through the passage a number of times before going to
sleep. Many many times I'll find that the next day, when
I actually go to practice the passage, the problem will
be solved.
Amazing stuff.

I dreamed about filling in a set of forms, one of which was on yellow paper,
but I don't think I actually saw the yellow paper, just recall the word
yellow. Maybe I don't dream in pictures, just sounds and words? All I
usually ever remember is being woken up by some noise that worked its way into
my dream for a while. Garbage trucks tend to turn into trains, etc.

Last night I dreamed about some sort of buffet meal with plates piled with
bread ends (Zingermans' recently sold us a bagful for 50 cents) all of which
were yellow. I seem to be dreaming only in yellow. I have an amber monitor,
could that be related? I may switch to green and keep monitoring dreams.

Keesan, was there a light on, or light coming into your room? Of what
color quality? Were you driving somewhere with amber street lights
before you went to bed? They might be factors.

No, I am a light sleeper and wear a black knit hat to keep the light out, but
I do bike home late at night, past a large number of street lights, porch
lights, and car lights, every night. Well, last night I got home a bit
earlier, and dreamed that I had to hang up a bunch of shirts that were piled
on the bed, in green, brown and blue. (I had been reading a book on CHinese
art before bed, also there really was a pile of clothes to put away.) I don't
know if I actually saw the colors or just thought of them in words, though.
And there was a dark black airplane going over in my dream, just before a real
one woke me up. I am a very light sleeper, my dreams are full of planes,
buses, and miscellaneous explosions.

Not sure what you are referring to, but I don't have a TV. My dreams are full
of loud noises because of the loud noises going by at night, and my head
apparently attempts for a few minutes to treat them as a dream before I get
woken up by them. I think I have also dreamt about being hungry or thirsty.
Doesn't anyone else have a dream worth analyzing? Rane?

I dreamed last night that I found a harmonica in the bottom of my desk drawer,
but no sound came out, so I decided to fix it.
