I have been told by a friend who has always worn glasses that in their dreams they have perfect vision. If a person has never seen the world what do they base their ideas on how things appear?

They would dream in the same way they experience the world. The trouble is, it would be impossoble to explain what they 'see' as not being blind, you cannot comprehend how they see the world in the same way they cannot comprehend how you see it .

How do we really know they see anything, their lives are lived quite happily without ever knowing what colour is or how dull England is this Summer. I seriously believe dreams are more about the feeling you have than the sights which you see, if you don't know what sight is then how can you see.
But on the other hand there could be some sort of genetic residue of memories passed down from their parents, you never know that could be what our dreams are just visions from our parents past. Wow thats not such a bad idea.

I asked this question about 5 months ago, got an answer from a chap who works with blind and partially sighted people. Totally blind people tend to dream in sound,smell and touch, those who have gone blind still dreamt in vision/pictures....

I really can't answer this, but it is a very good question so I starred it.
The character "Rocky" in "The Mask" had an interesting way of explaining colors to a blind girl... if you haven't seen it, it is definitely a movie worth watching.
