Certain people are totally blind at birth and remain this way
through life
How do these people imagine a color?
What do they think if i say red, green or yellow?
Can they at least DREAM colors?

if blind since birth, it would seem impossible to distinguish something you have never compared anything else to--so how would a blind FROM BIRTH person distinguish color? they would not. And as far as dreaming AT ALL--what would they dream about? They have never "seen" anything to dream about. I do feel so sorry for such individuals.

Blind people from birth cannot dream what we would call colours because they have no way of associating yellow with what we call yellow.
To them in a dream, yellow may be red or green or just called red.
People born blind don't know what objects look like in general but can only imagine based on feeling them.

There is no concept of color. They couldn't understand it if you tried to explain. You couldn't. Try to explain color to me, for example, the color of a tree in the summer and then how the color changes of the leaves in the autumn.
You can't even imagine the words yourself, much less explain the concept to someone who doesn't know what it means to "see" things. I believe the mysteries of God are similar to this phenomenon - our mortal minds can't even comprehend the majesty or completeness of God or His plan for us.
Just like a blind person, we have to have faith in the things that we cannot see, but exist and that will become our destiny.

I would think that if they are blind, they can see color...or maybe not... wow, that's a tough question...No, actually they probably can't see color and can't even really dream (in color) they must dream as if they were blind... wow i feel teally sorry for them. =D Sorry I don't know that much :)
