People used to dream in black and white before the invention of color TV

This is an incredible by product of a truely reality changing invention. In an interesting study, 60 people were brought together to determine how they dream. Half of them were under 25 years old while the other half were over 55 years old, marking the separation of access to color television. Only 4 percent of the younger group dreamed in black and white while the older group who had only had access to black and white media growing up dreamed in black and white about 25 percent of the time. Television really has a remarkable effect on us, even when we dream!
