  • yes, they can dream just like everyone else.
  • i guess if someone is blind from birth, they would dream people because just cuz they're blind they could still feel their own body, and know what it feels lke to give them some sense of what a human looks like. its kinda like the question that if someone is deaf from birth, what language would they think in?
  • I've heard that blind people who were once sighted can dream "visually" like the rest of us... but I am a bit curious myself about those who have always been blind and have no visual memories to base their dreams on. But dreams don't have to be visual, either, even for sighted people.
  • Research suggests 4 findings on 'blind dreams' apparently according to an online study I found. 1. There are no visual images in the dreams of those born without any ability to experience visual imagery in waking life. 2. Individuals who become blind before the age of five seldom experience visual imagery in their dreams, although Deutsch (1928) reports some visual imagery in six schoolchildren who lost their sight before age five. 3. Those who become sightless between the ages of five and seven may or may not retain some visual imagery. 4. Most people who lost their vision after age seven continue to experience at least some visual imagery, although its frequency and clarity often fade with time. The study also showed the following - Findings on non-visual sensory references, the percentage of taste/smell/touch sensations was very high in the dream reports of participants who had little or no visual imagery. For the four participants who had no visual imagery in 13 or more sensory references (participants 11, 7, 10, and 2), 55% of the sensory references were taste/smell/touch and 45% were auditory. For participant 14, the 45-year-old male totally blind since age 28, 22 of his 34 sensory references (65%) were in the taste/smell/touch category, as compared to the 9% for visual references reported earlier. The sensations in such dreams were very strong. The participants "felt" the warmth of the sun, the texture of a coat, the edge of a knife, the slope of the ground, vibrations, snow, or the soft fur of a dog. They "smelled" fire, tobacco, aftershave lotion, fresh air, food, or coffee. They noted the "taste" of a cigar, a cup of coffee, or an orange. These dream sensations seemed to reflect their use of or pleasure in these sense modalities in waking life.
  • Yea- sure they're dreams are probably even more involved then a sighted person's because they would use all they're other senses such as smell and touch and sound.
  • they dream of electric sheep
  • That they've left all the lights on.
  • Perhaps the blind man dreamed that he picked up a hammer, and saw.
  • They dream about what they wish they can see.
  • I guess they would dream about being able to see.
  • subconscious perceptions.
  • I don't think they surf the internet to answer these questions
