Question

Do blind people have dreams? if they do, do they know what they are seeing?

Answer 1

A blind person dreams, of course, in the same way he or she also 'sees'. What I mean about this is that a blind person experiences the world in a different way -- through sounds, touch, smells, tastes... They dream what they feel, not in terms of a person with the sense of sight, but with their own understanding of what the world is like, creating a mental picture with their other senses.

Answer 2

Everyone has dreams. Blind people see (or imagine) things in their dreams, exactly the same way they percieve them when they are awake. You should not for a moment think that because a person is blind, he doesn't know what things look like. You must also remember that not every blind person was born blind. When you dream, how do you see GOD? Exactly, how you imagine him (it or her)!

Answer 3

Who has given you dreams with contract, I think that is God.

He has given this to all, A blind person dreams in very much natural way and sound feelings,They know the whole

world is there to cheat them, so they visualize the world with there mental power and reaches at correct step.

Answer 4

blind people may not be able to see, but they are still human...depended on other people so they can live a almost normal life, have you wondered if you had never been able to see, how could you tell the difference in colors or shapes or see the sunset or the falling of the moon unless what anyone tells you, you would have to see it for yourself to understand? but yes i do think they dream in their own way ............

Answer 5

The only way you'll get an answer is from a blind person... and they're unlikely to be perusing the "drawing and illustration" category!



I'd try again in either:

Society & Culture > Cultures & Groups

Science & Mathematics > Biology



good luck! I'd love to know this one too.
