I believe that he is talking about lucid dreams, which are the ones that have more to do with astral travel than with resting or dealing with your own thoughts and subconsciousness.
Some psychologists say that we all dream in “black and white” even if we don’t realize it and it is just our memories or expectations that lend us to believe that we have dreamt in color. Sometimes however we have full color dreams, also known as lucid dreams, and this kind of dreams are so real that when you experience them, you can hardly tell dream from reality because the dream feels just too real.
I think that the protagonist of this song is experiencing recurring lucid dreams that are in fact transporting him to other realities or putting him in contact with other beings in other planes. Of course, these aren’t nice dreams and the more they occur, the more he is getting confused and starting to believe that he is losing his mind (which might me true due to the things he is experiencing).
That’s why whenever he goes to sleep, he does his best to try to dream in “black and white” just like everyone else, hoping that he doesn’t falls again in those dreadful, vivid dreams. He dreams only because he “is alive”, because he is a living being that needs to sleep and dream, but if he had the option he would rather not sleep or dream at all, for fear of these dreams he can’t understand.
@inhari1045 Could be to do with the duality of our nature-a light/dark side that we often struggle to control whereas in our dreams these feelings can find their outlet.....see also "Double Agent" by Rush from their superb Counterparts album.
