If you are born blind from birth, can you dream?

Question

sorry that was very poor grammar

'Born blind from birth'??

sorry.

Answer 1

Yes, blind people do dream and with what I have read so far, they can even dream just as vivid as anybody. Some suggest that they have only auditory dream which is false.

Answer 2

Yes you can.

Answer 3

Yes I guess Blind people have high sense and imagination for example if u placed an apple in the hands of a blind man he will keep on touching each corner just to imagine its shape I really don't know if he can recognize the colors but I'm sure if he knows the shape and look of any thing he can dream of it cause the human brain is very intelligent .

Answer 4

Hmm... I think only a blind person can truly answer this question.

But in my opinion, sure why not. Believe it or not there are blind people out there who actually sit in movies just to listen and using their imagination to create the scenery in their head.

So for all that what makes dreaming impossible for them? But like I said " I think only a blind person can truly answer this question".

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

you can still dream because dreams are in your head....u probably cant day dream but im pretty sure u can still dream

Answer 7

Blind persons have other heightened senses, so yes they could dream. Dreams are not always about what you see. You have other senses. A blind person's concept of visuals would be different than ours.

Answer 8

I saw this question before,and the answer is no,you can't.

Answer 9

Why not? Dreams don't have to be visual... I would assume they dream about their perception of life the way sighted people dream about their perception... I bet deaf people dream... why not blind people?

Answer 10

i have been blind for nearly six years and through residual memory, i usually dream in images. For me, it is a beautiful experience, because at least in that realm i have my "sight" back. i do dream sometimes in only auditory senses though, a phenomenon that is happening more often as the years go by since i lost my eyesight. Those people i know in a support group who have been blind all their lives dream this way exclusively.
