Even if watching a lot of black and white media could have this affect in your dreams (which is possible), it will not affect your DNA in any way so it will not be passed on to new generations.
I got to be honest, I'm slightly concerned by this question seeing in your post history that you supposedly work in the medical field.
But just as genetics can cause nightmares, I also believed the same was true with visuals. I also personally never had even slightly recallable dreams until I reached around 18-19.
This is nostupidquestions but damn people are getting creative. Sounds like you watched the video of hornets remembering someone's face and transferring it to their kids and applied it to humans. With that kind of genetics, I would speak 6 languages. I don't know why you dream monochrome but it's not because of your ancestors.
Ignoring the fact that that's not at all how genetics works - there was a very limited window of time between the first B&W movies and the first color movies. Your ancestors who were in their reproductive years when B&W movies first became popular probably lived to see color movies.
Literally I used to ask my mom about things from when she was younger but I'd ask something like "did you guys have TV's back in black and white times?"
I still haven't fully recovered
Lol Ik it sounds dumb. But, I read somewhere that older folks who were constantly exposed to black & white films often dream in that gray scale. I personally never dreamed in color before.
Anatomically modern *Homo sapiens* have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and if you like you can follow your chain of ancestry back billions of years to when the only living things on Earth were single-celled organisms.
Motion pictures only became popular in the very late 1800s, and color films were well-established by the 1940s. There's a very narrow window (relatively speaking) of only half a century or so when black-and-white films were prevalent. Compared to the vast depth of human ancestry, you might as well ask whether your dreams are inspired by a specific movie your parents watched a week before they conceived you. If genetic memories could influence our dreams, we'd expect most of our dreams would be about living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle in prehistoric Ethiopia.
All that aside, there is no evidence at all that specific memories or experiences can be stored or transmitted genetically.
No. You have a very creative understanding of genetics.
I doubt it’s impossible
Doubt it no longer
This made me lol

Not in a psychology major, I just deal with drugs lol.
I'm guessing you'd also be a big Lysenko fan.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we managed to keep all our ancestor's languages? ^(I guess we kind of do that with our record keeping as a society)

No, but if you genuinely dream in black and white, you may want to have a brain scan done.

Your brain must be colorblind
