how do we see dreams with our eyes close?

Answer 1

you obviously don't know anything about ghosts. ghosts can see without physical eyeballs. so logically we become ghosts in our sleep -- woah, maybe that Freddy Kruger crap is, like real.

Answer 2

Dreams can be explained in this way. The brain actually re-runs some of the recent events in a random manner and that is what is called as a 'dream'. It's not an image that the eye has to capture. The dream as such is not formed in the eye. So, you don't have to have your eyes open to see dreams.

Answer 3

The human body has all the equipment used for sight including eyes, optic nerves and large areas of the brain's cortex needed to interpret light signals. While asleep the equipment is still operating but in idle. During the day your eyes are like a TV with only one channel (opened eyes) but at night with eyes closed your imagination grabs the TV wand and tunes into anything that catches its fancy. However everything you "see" is inspired by things you have seen and perhaps forgotten mixed perhaps with glimpses of the day. You could dream that the other side of the moon is green cheese; only if you have seen green cheese or green cottage cheese, etc. Everything is a figment of your own imagination. If a tiger attacks you, grab it by its tail, swing it around your head and let it fly off into "your" jungle, right?

Answer 4

Perception goes way beyond physical senses. But equivalents of physical senses can be engaged because we have mirror areas in the brain that can be engaged to translate information from other sources into similar forms as appear from processing of physical sensory inputs. (We can check it in relation to our own experiences, and find the psychology of perceptions and models of the psyche and neuroscience research findings and other spiritual metaphors that closely mirror our own experiences and in combination provide an integrated model. But this implies that the dreams are more than meaningless anomalies (or "pathological") along the lines that Freud asserted they were, and which still persists in the worldview of some. Although, it's uncommon these days, some psychiatrists go a step further than even Freud and record overnight dreams as "psychotic episodes, but without recording that they were stated to be overnight dreams. To understand more and experience and experiment and discover and develop your own understandings and interpretations, you could research and try out what sometimes is called "lucid dreaming". There's a book called "Master of Lucid Dreams" written by a psychiatrist called Olga Kharatidi, that gives some sense of what it might be about. She's a psychiatrist originally from Russia, now practising in the US, who also draws from experience associated with metaphors other than the mainstream psychiatric ones.

Answer 5

Everything you see with your eyes is transmitted to your brain, which let's you see. When you're dreaming and seeing, you just leave out the eyes and instead of information coming from your eyes, that part of the brain (the visual cortex) makes up stuff on its own.

Answer 6

We can't see dreams , we just dream. When you open your eyes and dream ,its called thinking and when you think with your eyes close it called dreaming. If we go by your question then all the blind men can't dream.

Answer 7

vision is nothing more than electronic signals interpreted by our brain. A dream is just a visual which is not sent to the brain from the eyes but from within the brain.

Answer 8

When you look at something with your eyes open, a signal goes through the eye to the brain andi it's interpreted as a particular image (e.g. "Oh, look, a puppy!")

A dream is a signal that originates in the brain and, therefore, doesn't need to go through the eye.

Answer 9

The eye just shows the outside world to our brain, which shows it to our soul.

Answer 10

Its in your mind sweetie. What you dream you can see in your mind, you do not need your eyes.
