does blind people dreams? if they do, what do they see?

Answer 1

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?



Other studies indicate that individuals blind at birth do see visual images.

But it can be argued that these images are constructs based on input from other senses (and on what the dreamer has been told by the sighted about what these objects look like).

Answer 2

if they were born normal sighted then somehow down the line got blind, yes they would be able to hear sounds and see pictures in their dreams. if they were born blind they wont be able to see anything in their dreams, just hear them
