Nanny, I remember black and white very well (then again, I remember our local TV repair man coming out to our house to replace tubes in the old cabinet TV with the 'hard click knobs'...no remote except for the rowdy 8-year old, and 3-channels plus PBS to boot!). Then again, I remember sitting with my grandfather watching Armstrong pop out of Apollo 11 and walk on the moon, too - and him telling me "watch this, it will be important one day that you saw this"...an hour later, we were watching Cronkite and Mudd give body counts. If you know what I mean, you were there at that time, too).
Anyhow, yes, I dream in both (very rare for a man, by the way - did you know women dream in color FAR MORE than men do? About 10-to-1).
Most of my dreams are in color, or a subdued color (keep in mind, unfortunately I have a lot of 'dark' dreams, so it's like having brightness turned down on your TV anyhow). I seem to have B&W dreams when it is either 'past event' (which happens when someone is trying to 'link' something for me), or when it is a 'low key personal' event (cat took the car keys and hid them, did he? Troublesome feline, but he does love hunting and killing spiders, so we tolerate him).
If you are interested in this concept further, you might want to start a poll based on gender and dream hues, last study I saw on dreams and colors was done by one of the ivy league schools back in the 70's. If I remember correctly, men are like 8-percent in color, women like 84-percent. Tremendous disparity for 'color dreaming in the male gender'.
