if somone is born blind, can he/she dream?

Answer 1

yes.

my cousin works with physically disabled and he overheard a conversation between two blind people.

one was blind from when he was two and one was born blind.

the one who went blind was saying that he dreamt in colour etc, and that his dreams were about things he'd seen before he'd gone blind. he said that the worst part of his day was the morning, because he'd been dreaming visually it was such a shock to wake up and remember he was blind.

the one that was born blind said that he 'dreamt' too. he said it was a lot like being in a swimming pool with a treacley substance...when he moved thru it he could make out vague shapes of things he recognised, such as cars. he said he'd dreamt of being chased and that he had 'met' people he knew in real life in his dreams, and he could tell the difference because he had an 'image' of these people due to their height, girth etc. he recognised sounds etc too.

i thought this was really interesting.

Answer 2

The answer is yes, they do in fact have dreams, although most of the blind have their own way of dreaming. Instead of sight they experience dreams through their other senses, such as hearing and touch and many times they use speech. But just because a person is blind, that certainly does not mean that they aren’t aware of the objects around them. So by taking in shapes and objects of the world around them using their keen senses, they are able to include those things in their dreams.

Answer 3

They can dream. But the dreams are not "visual". The dreams they have, they expierance eomtions or sensatinos like textures or moving around. They may use there higtend senses tho to create somewhat of an image of what somthing might look like, some studies have said, but nothing is prove fact here.

The general answer is that they DO NOT have "Real" visual dreams but they dream using the other senses that they do have.

Answer 4

certain, someone who's blind can dream. even even with the undeniable fact that they could't see something actual, the guidelines is extra major for that individual because images are made from the psychological body of ideas yet i'd say the aims blind human beings have are both impaired or imprecise. this is what i imagine. there is not any reason behind every person to be indignant through your question so that you're fantastic.

Answer 5

I have no evidence or anything like those other people but personally i say yes any man woman or child can dream becvause everybody has an imagination of course they can not see shapes or things we see everyday but think about a purple huffaluff you say it is not real try to create it in your mind can you of course you can coz u have an imagination. of course they would nto see it the same way you see it nor would anyone else in the world.

Answer 6

sure they are, dreams made by imagination. They do born with blindness but they have the ability to imagine things by touching, hearing so I think they can.

Answer 7

yes they can!!
in fact when certain senses of some persons are underdeveloped other senses become stronger. they have the perception of the world around according to their dreams (and i think its much better than what we normal people dream of). it does not necessarily contain images but shapes, sounds, smells, temperature and light too all play part in their dreams. we have to be much more imaginative to imagine about the imaginations of such people.

Answer 8

Yes. But it won't feature the same details as a sighted person. They will interpret there surroundings in there own way and therefor dream them in their own way.

Answer 9

It depends on what dreams really are. They proberly do but might not be what we know as dreams. They proberly dream what they see in the way they see it.

Answer 10

Of course--perhaps more than a person with site.
