Personally, I do dream in color, always! Some dreams have a huge influence on me, sometimes I realize that I see the dream I have already seen before. It can repeat for several times and it makes me a bit scared or feel weird (as it might have a special meaning?).
Usually when I see the dream and wake up I remember it. But as soon as I start doing something (morning routine) I immediately forget it. And also I found out that I remember the dream only on condition I recollect every action in it and repeat it in my mind just after I wake up.
I remember every dream I have. Certain dreams repeat and then there is one dream that happened over two nights. The first night was the present.
Then the next night was the same dream but in the past. I've only had one dream in black and white and I'll never forget it. I'll even have dreams that happen in real life but not for a while.
I don't remember those dreams until they happen though.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
