According to a study by Eva Murzyn, it looks like there are quite a few people who dream in black and white like I do. I wrote a paper in my senior “thesis” class talking about how my black and white dreams are reflected in my waking creative life. What I mean is that I don’t like working in color. My drawings are in black and white. When I plot things out, I have to concentrate on individual parts to “see” color. This way of thinking/dreaming is not lonely. I don’t feel that I’m missing anything by not seeing color too well in my head.
The study shows that only 4.4% of the under 25 year old crowd dream in monochrome. The researcher shows a connection to the television you watched as a kid. I watched color tv, being a child of 90s, but that apparently made no difference.
