Oh my gosh, so where were we?

We see a relentlessly sky blue background, with a page title of "To Here Knows When."
That would be another My Bloody Valentine song. In fact, the first time I heard it, I was pretty nearly completely and totally gobsmacked, and after I was able to recover my wits, I messaged Jinxie, "If I were a smoker, I'd need a cigarette right about now."
Aaaaaaaaanyway, what we see here is one my very favorite dreams that Jinxie has ever posted over in his dream journal. I had told him that this was a good example of why he is a good writer, and all because of the line, "He laughs and rubs his head."
It's one thing to create a narrative out of nothing, or perhaps to draw from your personal experiences. It's quite another to cull those fleeting emotions and images from our dreams, and to so beautifully pinpoint a little moment such as that, something so colorful and full of texture that we immediately understand the moment. We relate.
This puzzle's pretty straightforward - pick out the letters that don't have any sort of double/highlighting to them. Can't see it? View source code, I guess, and it should become apparent which letters were meant to be different. We string the letters together, and get 'monochrome.'

The next bit is probably the part that had me closest to tears. Because, you know, it really isn't a Jinxie puzzle trail if it doesn't make me cry.
