The continuity hypothesis of dreaming states that dream content reflects waking-life. Given that our daily world is colored, one would expect that all dreams contain some kind of color. The percentage of colored dreams, however, varies greatly between studies. Influencing factors might be the understanding of dreams (comparing them with films which have been mostly black and white in the first half of the twentieth century) and creativity. The present study included 444 participants who kept a dream diary over two weeks and completed several questionnaires. The findings indicated that report style has a small but significant relationship with spontaneously reported colors in dreams. Future studies should focus on the question as to whether dream objects are colored in the same way as in waking-life.
