Do people who were born normal but after that they lost their vision, see dreams?

Answer 1

It depends on when they lost their vision:

"Most researchers believe that people who are blind from birth or who become blind in infancy do not see in their dreams. They do not retain visual imagery because it was never acquired in the first place.
However, those blinded in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, or afterwards usually do see in their dreams. "They often retain visual imagery in their waking life and in their dreams," according to Drs Nancy Kerr of the Department of Psychology at Oglethorpe University and G. William Domhoff of the Department of Psychology at the University of California at Santa Cruz.
They write in the December 2004 issue of Dreaming that "individuals blinded before the age of about five report no visual imagery in dreams as adults, whereas those blinded after about the age of seven are likely to retain visual imagery in dreaming".
This conclusion is based upon four sleep laboratory studies conducted between 1966 and 1999. According to the Royal National Institute of the Blind in London: "Dreams are experienced in the same way as life is lived. If someone loses their sight, they will dream of events during the days when sight was available in visual terms. If dreams are about recent events when sight was not used, sensations will be in terms of sound, smell, texture, and so on." A person dreams as they live."

" Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I've met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30. "

Answer 2

Yeah, they see their dreams. People who were born with vision see or have dreams of the way their life was before they lost their vision.

Answer 3

Probably, but they most likely just see things from when they had their vision. I would believe that people born blind see images in their mind of what they think something looks like.

Answer 4

Fact, yes they do. My aunt lost her vision and she sees dreams.

Answer 5

Wouldn't all people see dreams, you are not really using your eyes when you actually see things in dreams when you are sleeping.

If you were actually using your eyes to see something happen in your dreams it would be real. Dreaming is not a physical/visual process, they are mental images, unless you are mentally blind you cant see in your dreams.

Answer 6

Yes they should be able to unless theres brain damage, scientists are still solving what dreams really are, but they know that they are created within your brain, not your eyes.

Answer 7

I had to piss on your parade but no one is born normal. That is a myth. I'm not sure, just wanted to let you know about your misconception.

Answer 8

Yes they do.

Answer 9
