Answer 1

Can a person who is blind from birth "see images" in their dreams?

Dear Dreamcatcher:
This question has inspired volumes of medical research dating back to the 19th century. People who are visually impaired from birth appear to lack visual imagery in their dreams. It's believed that the parts of their brains that register visual information remain dormant.

According to this fascinating article by Diego Kaski in the International Medical Students' Journal, even people who lose their sight early in childhood retain visual imagery in their dreams well into adulthood. However, this imagery fades over time.

Nevertheless, blind people do dream and often describe their dreams in terms of places and surroundings. An article from the University of Santa Cruz notes that blind dreams feature a "very high percentage of gustatory, olfactory, and tactual sensory references," something very unusual for sighted dreamers to experience.

For some intriguing and descriptive quotes on the subject, read Richard Catlett Wilkerson's article "Dreams of the Blind."

Answer 2

Blind people do dream but not in the way you would. It depends on whether they were born blind or became blind. Those who become blind after seeing dream much as you would. The ones born blind don't know how to dream by seeing images as they would be meaningless anyway. However they can dream about the other senses that they have, taste, touch, hearing and smell. Imagine you were dreaming about being in an underground cave without light but could feel your way along, hear noises such as footsteps,smell the dankness and feel the cave walls. That would be a dream wouldn't it?

Now, now, sickness can surely take the mind where minds cannot usually go, so come on the amazing journey and learn all you should know. Perhaps the blind dream, not in images, but in sounds and smells, perhaps, strange as it seems, his musically dreams ain't quite so bad.

Answer 4

a blind person would not dream of images, but of sounds. its just like an unborn baby. when the fetus is in the mother in her last stages of pregnancy, it dreams of the sounds it hears since it hasn't seen anything yet. same w/ a blind person

Answer 5

Well, after putting the words of your question into the right order, I can tell you the answer is yes.
They dream, as others have told you, in sounds, and smells, maybe even in different colours, or what they perceive to be colours- well, I think that's what I was told in college anyway.
