DO BLIND PEOPLE HAVE DREAMS?

Question

Im meaning people that have never had sight like since birth?

Iv always wondered? I mean if yourve never seen anything how can you dream about things?

Answer 1

I would assume they do. Because, think about it. We dream with our minds, not our eyes. Our eyes are closed when we dream.

And they will able to picture things, because just because they are blind, doesn't mean they don't know anything. They can still read books and picture things in their minds. You have never pictured a story line going on while you were reading a book? That is probably what they do.

So the answer, in my opinion, is yes. They still have dreams just like everyone else.

Answer 2

Yes that matter is very interesting. Does the blind dream? I would believe so. they may not be able to see but I'm sure they can dream about their other senses that they experience in life. I can only imagine what they dream about. One thing I find to be very interesting is the idea of having dreams about music do notes of braille just float around and dance for them in certain patterns and maybe increase in size if they are either high notes or louder notes or what about if they are just half notes or full notes do they increase in width or decrease. I would like meet a blind musician and ask them what their dreams are like.

Thank you very much for putting these questions in my head I have never thought about this before. You have opened a new window of imagination for me.

Answer 3

They dream about sounds and touch just like their everyday life.  When you dream, you do not just see, you hear touch etc.  So you can dream these senses as well.
