Do blind people from birth dream? if so what?

Question

Do blind people from birth dream? if so what?

Answer 1

Yes, they do. But nothing visual. It involves tactile and sometimes auditory experiences.

This is because the visual cortex is recruited for other tasks, such as audition. Hence, the visual cortex can't be engaged in dreams to create visual experiences. The same is true for imagery. Not visual in blind people.

Which is very different from the dream of a sighted person. Your dreams rarely involve sounds, right?

Answer 2

I am sure they dream but I am not sure about what.

Yes, they dream about things everyone dreams about. They still experience the world even if they can't *see" it.

ask them by yourself..

Answer 5

Everyone dreams.  I would imagine that the blind have the same sensations in their dreams that they have while awake.

Answer 6

i think they don't . because i think we dream about  what we see that day. so blind people can't in my opinion. but i wish they would. because it is so awful if they even don't see in their dreams

Answer 7

Jeez, you and blind people.

They just probably recall sounds...

They probably dream about their experiences in life. They do have other senses, you know?
