Well this started when i was talking to my best friend morgan on the phone. She told me in her dreams they are always black and white like in the old horror movies so how do your dreams look like? Are they in 3D or maybe HD? I know mine look like HD and Blu-ray too.
Also sorry if this is not the right place to where this goes.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but about twenty-five percent of my dreams follow a storyline. I'll get a little piece of the "story", have a few dreams in-between (I always dream!), and a few nights later, I'll get the next part of the same story. There's always a faceless boy and I, and we're always running from a king and an endless army of knights who tromp like a marching band. The places change, the dialogue changes, and occasionally, we die, in all sorts of different ways. On the rare occasion that happens, the next dream picks up right before it happened, like being ressed in a video game. Weird.

It depends. Mine sometimes seem really real to me while other times they're just so ridiculous that I know it's a dream. I have an overactive imagination so some of the things I dream are pretty weird. Lately, I've also been having dreams that are horribly violent where they seem so real and in such detail that I do not want to sleep after waking up from them.

Mine tend to be mostly in black and white, although there will be specific things in color. Possibly key plot elements? I don't know and have stopped trying to figure it out. xD
What I think is strangest about my dreams is that I'm hardly ever in them. They always feature characters that I've never experienced anywhere else, and they aren't reoccurring, so I have zero idea where they come from.
Maka, what do you mean by HD, everything in intense detail? Because quite frankly that sounds awesome.
Ana, I've never experienced something like that. You said it happens for twenty five percent of the time, are the rest just normal dreams?
Mystic, I have a similar problem. ): Like it isn't always even a straight up nightmare, it is just really disturbing to the point where it's hard to block out. Although I also noticed that mostly happens to me when I eat before bed. Needless to say I stopped doing that.
Sorry for all the questions, I find this super interesting. (:

Before three years ago, all my dreams were in black and white or in sepiatone, much like an old movie or series of Polaroid photographs. But every night for the past three years I've had the exact same dream, so vivid and real, like I'm really there.
It always begins in the same high-ceilinged room, the walls of dark wood paneling, matching the part of the floor that is not covered in a thick carpet that is patterned with dark purple, red, and fringed around the edges in black. There is a single tall, arched window, showing a very dark sky and rain falling like a shower, occasionally lit by a flash of lightening or rumble of thunder, flanked with a dark purple curtain. Behind me is a wall of bookshelves filled with dark leather bindings, two ornate chairs whose cushions are upholstered in what looks like dark red satin or velvet, and in the center of the room is a small round wooden table. Over the table is a low chandelier, not lit, and made of what I can only imagine is black iron. There is a fireplace ahead of me with a fire lit, but other than that and the lightening there is no light at all. On the wall I can see oil paintings of people I've never seen before, dressed as though from Victorian times. Then from the other side of the room, across from the window, a tall door opens and a black-haired man enters. I cannot see his face because it's covered in a sharp, two-toned iron mask. He carries a little oak box with him, which he sets on the table in front of him.
There is more to it, but I feel I've spoken enough. If you want to know more, I'll always tell it. I just... fear it, in a way. It seems like it's taunting me.

My dreams I guess are average. Normal, I suppose. I dream in color, sometimes my dreams are scary, sometimes they are freaking awesome, and sometimes they are so real that I think it happened. But I don't think I've ever dreamt in black and white or HD, that sounds really interesting!

It fascinates me that some of you dream in black and white. To me that's bizarre, because I always dream in color- rather, "HD" sounds like a good way to describe it. I constantly have dreams inside of dreams, like my dream self is lucid dreaming and trying to manipulate everything. It makes me terribly confused when I wake up.

I don't think I've ever dreamed in anything other than colour. Actually, a lot of my dreams are quite boring xD I don't think I've had a nightmare, or dreamed of anything even remotely scary, for quite a while. The closest I've come was dreaming I was with some kind of camp group and we were going to watch scary movies, and I left because I hate scary :sweat: In the end I somehow ended up taking the movies home, but anyway...
The only 'special' thing about my dreams, I guess, is the fact that if they're not set somewhere I've actually been there is are a bunch of dream setting that I'll be in. This isn't always the case though; I've had quite a few dreams in places not based off anywhere I've been, and I've never dreamed about before (and remembered).
Oh! And my friends that can actually remember their dreams (some of them don't remember ANY of their dreams) seem to have dreams involving themself and people they know in the real world, though this usually isn't the case with me; Quite often in my dreams it's like I'm watching a movie and I'm not actually there, though I may or may not have control over the 'main character' of the dream, and I hardly ever dream about people I know.

Sorry about the grammar in that, it was atrocious :sweat:

I always seem to dream in black and white, but I always have nightmares. :/
So, it's like an old horror movie every time I sleep. Not every time, but a good
amount of bad dreams. It suuucks, but I've been able to relax a bit
more now that I've released a lot of that bundled up stress. Most of the
time when I'm trying to get away from something or someone I end
up dreaming about it or the person. :s no me ghosta.

My dreams always look like I'm watching them. As if they aren't through my eyes, like I'm watching as another person. Its really cool. Sometimes they're in vivid color, and sometimes they are in black and white.

My dreams generally switch between first person and a more omniscient point of view. They're usually really realistic; meaning I can feel, smell, etc. It's really interesting actually and sometimes I wish I could record them. I get the story-line sometime too, like Anaxilea said. Where the story breaks up between several different dream sequences. Sometimes the stories get broken up and I won't dream about them again for years at a time.
A lot of times though my dreams are connected to memories that I've blocked out for whatever reason. They always seem kind of encrypted though... For example, only one or two parts will be connected to a memory and the rest will basically be nonsense or gibberish from present events or something I've been exposed to recently. I always wake up knowing which part was the memory though. It's kind of a surreal experience.

I've never had a monochrome dream before, it's always in colors and pretty realistic. Or, as realistic as my dreams could get...it'd feel perfectly logical in the dream that I'd be able to shoot laser beams out of my mouth or something, but of course once I wake up I'd know that's just not possible. :lol: Most of my dreams are just ridiculous if occurred in real life. But I have fun in most of them so it's alright. :heart:
Occasionally I get recurring dreams...like, I'd have a dream one day, and a few days/months/years later, I'd get the same dream again. I'd usually get this familiar feeling that I've been through it before, and try to redo everything the same way as I did the last time as to get the 'best' ending. I messed up a few times and ended up causing an apocalypse instead...ouch.
Sometimes they're first-person, sometimes they're third-person as though I'm watching a movie that I'm inside of, and sometimes it's both...like, I'd be myself parts of the times, and at other times I'd be a watcher. I also sometimes 'change character', like I'd be this guy for a while, and then I'd get killed, and 'wake up' as another person in the same 'story' at a different scene, etc.

My dreams have a tendency to make little to no sense when I remember them. I dream most nights, but I wake up and forget it promptly, although every couple minutes for the first hour I'll have this weird feeling of deja vu every time I think about something or other, which I figure I must have dreamed about the night before but don't remember it. When I DO remember my dreams, they're almost always in color. Now that I think about it, I don't remember ever having a dream in black and white.
When I was 3, there was this statue in my house that I was insanely scared of. I would always start crying when I saw it, and had nightmares about it on a regular basis, if not daily. I'm not sure if the dreams were the result of the fear or vice-versa, it was too long ago.
One of my more peculiar dreams was actually the most normal-seeming. I was sitting at my desk at school (I was in 9th grade at the time) and, in reality, had lost my textbook. My teacher, in the dream, came by and put a textbook on my desk and my friend Caleb's desk, who had also lost his textbook in reality. I then proceeded to look in my textbook, found absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, and woke up. Then I looked for my textbook and found it nowhere, and realized I'd been dreaming, and sat in a confused morning daze for a few minutes before I shrugged it off and went to school.
All my dreams taking place at that school were weird, really. Another time I was in the school's hallway and there was a rumor going around that the school was run by aliens. After further investigation, I found out they were in the school's basement, specifically the gym. I entered the gym to find it was at least three times its usual size, filled halfway with water, and the rest of the way in a thick fog. Having no regard for common sense, I took the plunge and began searching for aliens. I spotted them, and they looked something like the Men in Black, ironically. Then I had a moment of lucidity where I realized I was dreaming and began to swim around freely and breathe underwater, which was the coolest feeling ever, since I could feel myself breathing air. Then I found a button at the bottom of the gym, fairly near said aliens, and pressed it. My subconscious took over my dream again and I surfaced, only to find a heads-up display listing my health, magic, stamina, and all sorts of statistics about the school, including how close the aliens were to controlling it. Eventually that number diminished, and I woke up. Easily the most interesting dream I've had, as well as one of the most straight-forward.

Yeah - most of my dreams don't follow that "plot", but two or three per week do, and the story goes on.
Those of you who dream in black and white - when I was little I did, but only my nightmares. Well, no, it was more than that... in my nightmares as a kid, my family and I were always in color, but the "scary" wasn't. So we'd be driving around a city block in our bright red car, with a greyscale tornado behind us... or running away from a GIANT steamroller in this huge, grey world where there was nowhere to go. I seem to have outgrown it, though.
How about lucid dreams? Some people get them all the time... but I almost NEVER do. I had one the other day that was brilliant - what's better than being able to take control of your dreams? Especially since my "good" dreams usually end before they finish - this time I was able to save the day, and I woke up feeling great!

My dreams change from being colour to black and white, sometimes they're just pitch black and I can't actually see anything but I listen and feel the dream, like being in a place with my eyes closed.

I dream in color, but everything is extremely vague. In the waking world, I have difficulty picturing things in my mind, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Basically, anything in the dream that I'm not intently focusing on doesn't exist, and people rarely have faces. In the dream I know they have faces, and can "see" them, but I'm not actually imagining them. The only time anyone has a face, really, is if they have an expression that's very important to the dream (for example, a look of shock).
My dreams are always first person. As for content, the dreams are usually anxiety- or stress-driven. I don't often have dreams that I can actually remember that are just random. The most common themes for my anxiety/stress dreams are inadequate public restrooms (toilet stalls without doors or walls, stalls with comically short walls, etc. broken or strange toilets), or my mother being really really mean. Like, murderous. I don't understand that one at all because my mother is never mean to me even slightly. Another one has cropped up recently where I go to visit my grandmother (who has three kittens) and just as I'm leaving the visit, I realize I completely forgot to see the kittens. :lol: My pleasant dreams usually involve cuddling with my boyfriend, or playing with kittens.
Themes that my brain seems to have abandoned are my boyfriend being absolutely awful to me, and being in a play where I don't know the lines. I blame four years of drama class for that one. There were lots of variations - sometimes we'd be "redoing" a play we really had done, but it had been so long since we had done it that I wouldn't remember any of my lines, would forget my costume, and couldn't find my script. Other times a brand new scene would be added on opening night and I wouldn't know the lines and couldn't read the script, and a few other times it was just a brand new play altogether, that we hadn't rehearsed or anything. In that one, I was the star of the play - a singing astronaut on rollerskates. Badass part, I must say. :lol:
My dreams usually fade in and out. They rarely have a specific start, they just sort of fade into being. They might fade out in the middle, only to come back a few minutes later, and they never have a specific end (since I wake up then - I wouldn't remember them otherwise). I envy people who have coherent dreams, mine are usually a vague, muddled mess. I love dreams, though, I find them fascinating. I love remembering a dream I had (unless it was scary, but I rarely have proper nightmares, just unpleasant toilet dreams :lol: ), since it's usually quite funny in the light of day, and I love hearing about other people's dreams.
Okay, that was probably a much more detailed answer than you wanted. But as I said, I love dreams.

My dreams are just either odd or scary XD.
I always dream in what I guess I could call "HD" -- or very intense, in colors and in feelings. I always feel my dreams emotionally and physically, which is horribly painful. I almost always have nightmares, and if they don't start as nightmares, they turn into them.
All my dreams are weird... usually I'll have the same exact dream at least 3 times in a row, but each time, it'll get longer. Like, the first night will be one scene, but then the next will be that first scene plus another one, and so forth.
^That especially sucks when the dream is a nightmare. I used to have recurring nightmares (or "night terrors" as my friend once classified) about being murdered by some crazy dude who like... dropped from my ceiling.... =w= .. that one repeated for about 2 years unfortunately
Whenever I have nice dreams, it's always about my friends and stuff like that. 'Nd we just hang out and hug and stuff. Lately, those dreams have been all about my friend who lives in Holland xDD. Must be because I'm talking to him a lot....
Rawr.
I feel as though I ranted.

My dreams are whimsical. :) Most the time, it's like watching a modern day movie/home video shot with just a plain video camera- the colors and such. But sometimes, they seem to distort and the angle changes a lot. Sometimes, I'll be looking down, sometimes, I'm watching at ground level, sometimes, I'm upside down. It's so weird. xD

My dreams are like I would be in real life. Maybe a bit blurry or hazy sometimes, but it depends on the dream though. My dreams are in color and rarely in black and white. Sometimes my dreams follow a story I am about to write, and sometimes my dreams are of events that might come one day (or might not come one day). More of them are of wishful thinking. Like the perfect guy and what not. :S
Anyways, would be nice if the guys in my dreams were real. :D!

Mine is just a mixmatch of things. Can't say there is anything ever concrete. To be honest, I don't dream as much as I did when I was younger. Sometime the dreams are stupid I don't even remember. But I love it the most when I have hot guys in my dreams. xD Bonus if there is my current male obsession.

I don't usually remember my dreams.
Because they're not even remotely happy, so they're a repeat of real life.
I don't need to remember the depressing dreams since I remember the life that depresses me.

I only remember dreaming in color and from a third person view.
I don't put too much effort into remember my dreams because after a string of remembering good ones, a bad one always pops up on me.
And they aren't usually too crazy. They just have strange areas.
