'Do you dream in colour, Jerry?'


Of course we all dream in colour. No one dreams in black & white.

I've had many people tell me they dream in B&W. Weird (to me), but true.

I thought only dogs and cats dreamt in black & white. But how would we know this?

Why even ask? Wouldn't God know? A question like that would have me questioning the validity of his claim to being God.

"Bingo" again.





Rebuild the WTC exactly as before and keep old movies accurate!

That was the point, he did know, that's why he asked, it was a rhetorical question. Jerry thought he must be dreaming, only a small percentage of people dream in black and white, so when God asked him if he dreamed in color, he realized it wasn't a dream.

When this movie was made - back in the 70s, it was pretty well assumed that people dreamt in black and white. (I suspect that it was because of television being in black and white up to the mid 60s).

I remember wondering about this as a kid. It's really difficult to think back to your dreams and remember details (at least for me). It seems like I have a total grasp on a dream when I wake up - and the more I think about it, the less I remember, until it falls apart. There are only a dozen or so dreams in my whole life that were so graphic or profound that I remembered every detail.

Now that we all see color in movies and television, I suspect that no one even questions the black and white vs color.
