REcently brought this pot indoors cause of cool temps and Fall. It was just starting to bloom after a full summer of sun and no bloom. I can't tell if this plant is dead or being dormant. Don't know how to tend to it now indoors if its still alive.

I don't see a picture. Is it getting enough sun or water? The plant may not be getting what it needs to stay healthy. Sun coming in a window may not be enough, or too much for the season. Go to gardeningknowhow.com they will have all kinds of articles on Bougainvillea that should be helpful to assess the situation of your plant.

Take a cutting from it - if it is green inside, it is alive - if it is brown, probably dead.
Agree with Cindy!-Take a cutting from the stem, if it's green inside it's alive but if it's drab and gray, it's probably dead
