Colour
I'm pretty sure I don't dream in colour
For the most part my dreams have an old photo colouring.
But bits of it will have a small amount of colour with really low saturation.. For example.. a piece of clothing will be a faint red.. but even then it wouldn't be the whole piece of clothing.. more a slowly morphing patch of it.
And..
I also can't "see" colour when I imagine it. It's strange and hard to describe.. I can imagine a colour but I can not actually "see" it.. Like maybe if the part of my brain that interprets the colour red become active but the visual part doesn't.
I started to think that a lot of people that claim to see in colour probably don't.. They can imagine it as I can but the imagination is not in colour.. But I accept that that's probably my ego trying to deny that my brain is an old model.
Thoughts
What do your thought's predominantly consist of? Internal dialogue / words, pictures, neither, both?
I think I think almost only in words.. unless I am trying to picture something. For example.. If I go to get my phone before heading out to work my thoughts would be something like "Aright get my phone".. I wouldn't picture it unless I couldn't find it.
Maybe everyone thinks this way? Maybe I think in more pictures than I think I do, I just don't remember / consciously acknowledge it.
What about you?
