Can blind people see their dreams?

Answer 1

Everyone dreams (blind people included) and in general, people's dream experience is similar to their waking experience. For those that were blind from birth, they do not have a lot of visual stimuli to draw on for their dreams, so they have dreams that are primarily auditory, tactile or even involve taste and smell. People who lose their sight very early (before age five) apparently experience no visual imagery in their dreams. Visual imagery is a variable for those who lose their sight between ages five and seven. People who lose their sight after age seven almost always have some level of visual imagery present in their dreams. They've done extensive studies and have also found that REM sleep is disturbed in blind people, so they may actually dream less.

Answer 2

Dreams are a creation of the mind. If a person was sighted long enough to have visual recall of past events they could "see" their dreams.

If they were blind from birth or at a very young age they would not.

Answer 3

I was married to a blind man. He was born with a damaged optic nerve and had never seen color in his life. Yet he would describe dreams with vivid colors, what he thought colors would be if he could see them. So I guess their imagination would be working in their dreams

Of course, people that had been struck with blindness after they had been able to see and remember seeing things, that would be a different thing altogether.......

Answer 4

If one has never seen color or images, then the memory cannot retain anything for one to view in a dream. Many studies have been done. If a sense is not present upon birth, then in the subconcious or REM state, it is not possible to recollect something that was not there in the first place.

Answer 5

yes blind people can see there dreams in there mind they just cant see out of there eyes.
