In color or in black and white/grayscale? From your perspective, or from a more distant, voyeuristic view? Etc.
I dream in color, I suppose, and a few times I've had tactile sensations involved--feeling the rain (it was raining in the dream) on my skin, smelling someone's perfume (which had the same smell, which I remembered, from the dryer sheets I'd been dealing with that day). I think my dreams are in my perspective; that is, I'm the main character in them, and the dreams are about things happening directly to me. I know someone whose dreams are always in a sort of third-person fashion/narrative fashion, which I find incredibly weird to think about.
I say "I think" because my dreams are not so much things I actually remember vividly and play-by-play, in the moment (though sometimes they are) but because my dreams are mostly like weird remembrances that come to me as I wake up. My dreams seem to be more of "general impression" dreams, too, not dreams that have particularly specific actions. And my dreams are always menial and fucking random. I dreamt about going to an amusement park with people once. The dream (at least as I remembered it) was pretty much just walking around an amusement park. Seriously, what the fuck is up with that? I can almost never remember really specific details about dreams, like faces. In my dreams it's more like running along a beach, say, with my friend, and never picturing my friend's face. I just feel, instinctively, that my friend is there.
I'm not a visual/sensory person, though. Even now, fully awake, I cannot picture my friend's face. I can picture the general gist of it, but not what it really looks like. So dreaming's weird for me.
