How or why on earth would anyone dream in B&W?

While I was amusing my self with the colour blindness tests

http://www.archimedes-lab.org/colorblindnesstest.html#visione

I came across the following paragraph ...

"We only dream of what we know... People who become blind after birth can see colors and images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. It is hard for a seeing person to imagine it. So, colorblind people dream in the color set they see in real life... However, a full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white!"
