I'm rather close to my pop. We're born on the same birthday, within the same hour, so we have the same exact signs. He's a "spiritual healer" and he always knows the craziest things. Everyone he meets is always in total awe of him because he knows just about everything from all religions to astroprojection to "surfing" dimensions.

He's done about every drug in the book and has lived in the Tibetan Mountains and Calcuta India, etc... He's a real headjob.

Anyways, we were talking last night (always an interesting experience) and somewhere along the line he mentioned that people only dream and remember in black and white except for rare occassions and those who do dream and remember in colour are psychopaths.

When I told him that I only dream in colour and remember in colour, he didn't believe me at first. Then he said he wouldn't be surprised because: "You are my daughter." He has three nicknames: Married Man, The Lord, and Flipo... This should give you an idea of what that means.

I asked him if he could remember what my mum was wearing on their wedding day: (a purple mini skirt, brown tasseled cowboy boots, black leggings, and a creme coloured turtleneck). He just said a mini skit, boots, and a turtleneck and couldn't remember any of the colours.

I have a hard time doubting him when he's always so right about things like this.

Is this true? I am I a psychopath? Or is he just wrong as Hell?

Cheers,

i dream in color.

make your own judgement.

at your own risk.

i also remember my dreams in colour

I dream in colour but im not sure how many times but im not a phychopath but if i was one i would say that im not so to be honest i dont know if im one or not. How does one define a phychopath.

Alright, here it is. Doesnt mean your a phsycopath. Most people dream in black and white and remeber in black and white. Some people normally dream/remember colorlessly, but in some dreams(or memories) they see color and it is a very significant thing, and then there are the rare few who always see colors in dreams and memories, I see color....

rare few?

right here alone it's 4 for 4 for color.

you'd think 1 black and white dreamer would drop in here.

make that 5 for 5...

Make that 6:1.
I feel lonely :-(

Since I had the compression software installed I only see in binary.

Before the operation, I remember seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching in color. But I was always very visually directed.

i dream and remember and think in color, and i can't understand how a lot of people don't?

You may remember your dreams in color, but does that mean you dreampt in color? Can you name specific instances of color in a dream or did you just "filter" color in where it belongs. Have you ever seen an american flag with the wrong colors in your dreams??? Or else some other "only one way to color it" object.

Yea, I actually, (remember these are dreams) I remember an arrow pointing to my left and the arrow was half red and half blue.

In a dream I had about two months ago I remember a pair of golden sissors. I was with friends and I looked up at the sky and I noted on how grey it was.

Also, I had another dream where I remember a room with green velvet curtains and red carpet. There was a brown bear rug.

These are just specifics. I could name other things, like this one time when I "flew" out the window of an orange stucco house and there was a sunset.

Then another time when I was walking down a road to where there was a fork in the road and the sun was setting and the sky was lavendar. I could go on forever. And those are just off the top of my head.

goatboy,

do you ever experience your dreams; or just remember them.

and even if you did just remember them in color; does that mean it didn't happen that way; how could you prove otherwise?

I dream in color, I remember in color, I even associate different sounds, smells, and numbers with different colors. My entire Operating System is visually based.

As for whether I'm a psychopath, my answer would be a resounding MAYBE!

get different colored lightbulbs and sit in a room trying each color. the room should be white so you get the full effect of each one. notice how each light
can alter your mood sensation. then which ever is the most pleasing you should use that color for mood theropy.

or maybe im just fucking nuts.

I'd say that deciding him to be a "headjob" is a pretty safe assumption at the time being...

oh well bye

Dreams, you say? Read MY dream experience... here: http://www.totse.com/bbs/Forum5/HTML/001035.html

Trust me, It was very living color.

I havent remembered a dream that I have had for over two years. I probably do still dream, but I never remeber having one...
When I as younger, I used to have a "dream world". There were several locations. There was a compacted, altered version of the roads and countryside around my town. There was a strange amusement park, which had a huge metallic thing in the background (in my dreams I never went near it, but it dominated the skyline), shaped like an ocarina with the part you blow into stuck into the ground and there was a small sunny island, which was always fun.
this dreamworld was always constant. If a road lead to a particular place, it always lead there. There was always the same stalls in the covered market in the fairground.
Maybe I am a psycho. I dont really care...

I experienced a dream once. My elusive chase for the lucid dream has been rather unsuccessful as of late. Usually I just remember them. That kinda reflects my life though. I remember what I did, I often remember my life by my memories of the memory. Get it? Like I remember once when I remembered stuff. It leads to complications and i'm sure a lot of the shit never happened that I remember. Although I'm sure it did.

damn

Yeah. My people, has any one gone and looked this up? Now don't quote me because I tend to be sitting on top of my desk writing and drawing during my psychology class and I slept for most of biology,despite it being one of my favorite subjects(enough rabling here already!) But in both classes and through my experiences We dream in color if we see in color. So if you see colorful dreams, your doing a good job at not being a phycopath.... and even if that wasnt normal, it wouldn't make you a psychopath. Drugs, sheesh! make people think dem crazy thoughts.

i have no recolection of a black and white dream...is there something wrong with me?

your question was intriquing so i looked it up.... turns out your pops was kinda right. it is the exact opposite now i got this from an encarty encyclopedia so i'm assuming its hightly relevant. so u r not psychotic
ur pops is ....

Psychologists have performed an interesting experiment, to demonstrate that many people dream in color and that dreams are some sort of 'processing' of waking experiences.

Human test subjects had to wear red-colored glasses. Immediately after a nights sleep, they were interrogated. Many of them reported that their dream looked as if they were still wearing the glasses, i.e. they dreams had a red haze over them.
