The answer, simply put, appears to be "no." When people born blind were questioned about what they "see" in dreams in several studies, their answers indicate that the experience of vision first is needed before it can be translated into a dream. Those blind for a lifetime instead experience other keenly developed senses in their dreams--i.e., the sensation of moving around, the emotion of joy, etc.
Dream images of the blind instead seem to be reconstructions of objects based on sensory input such as touch and sound, just as occurs in waking life. But can these images be accurately described as visual? Can an object be recreated in detail if the dreamer has in fact never experienced seeing it?

I don't know how they would be able to. If the once had sight maybe.....because they already know what things look like. I don't think a person who has spent their whole life blind can have a visual dream because they don't know what things look like. Then again there is the imagination...Im sure if they do have visual dreams they would be interesting...like a blind person's interpretation of what objects look like....
Sorry, feeling philosophical atm.....

Well, I'm blind in one eye only and i can see my dreams, so I'd like to assume that even though there are other's in the world that don't see as we call I believe they can see in their dreams. No one can say for sure except someone who is blind if they can see in their dreams or not. Scientist would like to say no since they think they know it all, but they don't. God made us all special and different and He has a reason, so I'm sure He lets them see in their dreams. God Bless

I guess the only reliable answer would be from blind person.
Attention: Blind people... Can we get an answer to this?

My mom's friend went blind. She told me that she liked to sleep because she could see in her dreams. I guess they can.

Research has shown that those blind since birth cannot "see" dreams; so the answer is no.

Yes! I dream is part of your subconscience and you see what you want to see or what you need to see. Wither it be a fear a hope or just pure imagination,all dreams have some kind of meaning that relates to your life. You don't need to have eye vision to see in a dream because it is what your subconscience wants you to see and how you interpet it.
