I always dream in color. I don't know why people would ever dream in B/W. More likely is that they don't notice colors.
I also have read books in dreams, but these are always in rather specific kinds of dreams which are more like trances. I can never remember what it was I read, however.
I have dreamt within a dream a couple of times, back when I was into Castaneda. I always wake up twice in succession, the first time into an apparent real world but followed soon after by another waking. The second time is always accompanied by a strong vibrating/electric shock. In the freakiest occurrence I "woke up" in my usual bed and looked over to my clock radio, which was actually in the wrong location - but I didn't notice this until later. It was pitch black and all I could see was the LEDs on the clock radio. Suddenly I felt a cat jump on my bed, but instantly remembered that I don't have a cat so I tried to swat it off. It turned out not to be a cat but somebody large looming over me. This freaked me out and I tried to yell out but couldn't make a sound (the usual dream paralysis). Then I woke up, accompanied by a loud (to me) vibrating and purplish flashing. After these sorts of wakings I always have a feeling of hearing in the silence a ooooo-ahhhh sound like the spooky theremin in the Star Trek tv show that would be played in weird situations.
