Maybe it seems strange to you or not, but the impact of technology, especially of everything related to TV, was so great on people's lives that over time they even affected the way they dream. Many people dream in color as an effect of massive exposure to colored images, experts tell us.
A study carried out in the past years at the University of Dundee and Great Britain, shows that, among the participants in the study, adults over 55 who had grown up in a house where there was only black-and-white television tended to dream more in white- black. The younger participants, however, who had grown up in the age of color televisions and tablets, almost always dreamed in color.
Later, a study by the American Psychological Association, from 2011, confirmed these results! Previous studies showed that, before the advent of television (black and white at the time), people dreamed more in color and that exposure to the images transmitted by black and white televisions was correlated with an increase in black and white dreams. Later, with the advent of cinema, color television and other devices, we returned to... colored dreams.
It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed.
What is even more interesting is that before the advent of black and white television, all the evidence suggests we were dreaming in color. ~ Eva Murzyn; Dundee University
