Ask the blind man; he saw it too.

Time again for my… Thinking Chair! Right! Scientists debate whether or not people dream in color. You’d think they could break it down logically but, no. Here we step in to lead the way on this important discovery…

Now you may be saying “Of course I dream in color!” But the question here is: are you lying to yourself? Think, for example, if you were blind would you then dream in color? Claro que no! And that’s because you’d have never seen it. Point being the only reason you know it’s there is because your mind tells you so. (Here we might add something about a tree falling down in the woods… but let’s stick to the subject at hand.) There. You’re putting way too much emphasis on that brain of yours. Your mind also tells you you’re in pain or hungry etc… but what does he know? Shut it down with a few nerve killing meds and you forget all about it. What’s more, can you remember it? Of course not! As that would make life unbearable. Sure you remember it hurt real bad cause you can associate it with your tears or cries – ouch! OUCH! OUCH! and in the same way you can recall color with word association but in all reality it probably resembles more of a color by number.

Where does color come from anyways? Light, right? And, unless you have some disturbing third eye, the only way for it to enter is through your eyes which should, during sleep, remain shut. Sure a little can seep through your eyelids but no more than what you’d get on a starless night.

So now I’ll ask again, and think carefully before responding inoluntarily. Do you dream in color? … It’s all right. You can quit struggling now. You’ve won the victory over yourself. I read this quote that will probably soothe your bewildered mind as it’s more relevant than the original by Kipling. “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, it’s just possible you haven’t grasped the situation.” In other words – I’m not the emperor who’s naked. You would be the fool.
