I have heard that people born blind can hear dreams, and I presume people born death can see their dream. But what about someone who is born both blind and deaf?
They would still have a physical sensation, so could they feel their dreams?

Dreams are simply manifestations of the mind, so anyone with a functional brain can have dreams. I haven't encountered someone that is deaf and blind to ask if they can understand and interpret their dreams, but I would imagine that if they have a fully functional brain, besides the lack of sight and hearing, they could experience their dreams.

I imagine that their dreams may be similar to how the experience life - through touch, through emotion, through thought.
It may be possible that they see more than they see with their physical eyes. It may be possible that others speak to them even if they don't have the ability to hear in their waking moments. Its possible that although they cannot see with their eyes they might still dream and imagine with shape and with picture ... without vision person may not know colors but he still might know shapes from feeling.
Some people fly while they sleep, during their dreams. Perhaps their dreams go beyond what is physically possible for them.

Well, this person would still have a sense of touch and feel. You know how a person can sense someone is watching them in a room that is pitch dark? The same way. They can feel it and what they perceive in their dreams is probably very strong and descriptive. A beautiful world too, I'll bet.

people that are born blind and deaf have dreams. they don't see or hear it, but they can smell, taste and feel the dreams. many people wonder on how they can distinguish dreams from reality, but it's just as easy as us distinguishing dreams from reality. you just know it.

they can smell and taste in their dreams, and feel vaguely, its not even feeling really. it's all as vague to them as it is to us,
