Do you dream in color? There seems to be this debate as to whether we do dream in color or not. Well, I just woke up from this long, long dream. As usual, I don’t remember much of it, but two things stand out in my mind.

The first one involved a pool. I was in a car driving with someone I knew, and we were on a road that I knew, but instead of stopping at the house that I usually went to, we drove further down the road this time, probably to explore… I’m like that in real life too.

Anyway, after we had driven down the road a bit, oohing and aahing at the houses on this unknown section of road, we came across this house with this lovely pool. In the dream, it was hot, and so this pool looked so inviting, and you know what? I saw that pool in color! You know that lovely pool-y, blue, shimmery look. Yeh mon! In color! I distinctly remember it, and saying to the other person in the car “We’ve got to get to know these people!”.

The second thing that stood out involved a dog. I was sitting on a woman’s verandah, a pretty half-chinese woman, (nah, I don’t know her, I had just met her in the dream) and we were chatting. My back was to a grilled gate, so most likely the house was in Jamaica. Most houses in the States aren’t grilled from what I’ve seen… The U.S. is almost the only other place I’ve been to. I’ll give you a thousand (cyber) dollars if you can guess where else I’ve been… That’ll be the subject of another post though. But I digress.

My back was to a grilled gate, and suddenly something rubbed on my back. I was frightened , so I jumped forward and turned around, and realised that this dog had pushed its head through the burgler bars and was sniffing me. That was what I had felt. This dog was a cocker spaniel… a golden cocker spaniel! Yup, I saw that in color too! I’m sure of it!

Now I don’t know whether everything in the dream was in color… Can’t remember that much of it anyway, but I know that those things were in color. So if you’re one of those nay sayers who go around telling people that they can’t dream in color, just stuff it. Who the hell died and made you the king, anyway?

So, of course, I went to Google and searched for the string “dreaming in color”… http://www.dreamingincolor.net/ was one of the first sites to pop up. Nice domain name, huh? It seems there was a book named that as well: “Dreaming in Color”. Oh, here is one that backs me up! It says “From the time of Shakespeare to the present, color in dreams has been the subject of much study and discussion.”. Pschaw, me can’t bother to search no more… me gawn! (Anyway, I can’t be bothered to search anymore. I’m out. Peace).

Oh, by the way, the title of this post is also the name of a book. I therefore attribute it to it’s source… Later.
