Since they cannot see, nor have they ever been ever too see, What do they dream of? What image does their mind create for them? I am assuming there are no blind posters on GS, but something for you to think about.

Since their mind has no base to create images off of, I doubt they "see" anything.

I'm guessing blackness...

I would use the comparason of trying to think of a new color. Can't do it can you? That's sorta how I would imagine a blind person trying to dream.

Considering what the subconscious mind is capable of, you would have to ask a blind person that question.

If it's a person who got blind later in life, then they would probably dream about things as they remembered them, but if it's someone who has been blind since they were a baby, they would probably have a very different perception of what they think the world around them might look like.

That is one of the more interesting questions I've heard in quite some time.

they see with their other four senses during the day so i would assume that they use that as a basis for their dreams. like they have a vage description of it. kinda like a black and white movie. but i guess the really know the answer youd have to ask a blind person

They dream of genie. Anyway, any mind can form anything, they probably dream of things we could never imagine.

wow... never thought of that.

[QUOTE="FUBAR24"]they see with their other four senses during the day so i would assume that they use that as a basis for their dreams.Gr33nHippo

seems logical...

ya when you think about it it really makes sence. they can feel the outline of a persons face, smell the person, hear the person speak, and i guess taste the person (kissing or otherwise) and they put all those feelings together in their mind and they "see" that person...saw it on the Discovery Health Chanel once

but like i said their dreams are probably are all in black and white because if they were blind from birth how would they know what color is and how would you descibe color to a blind person without actually using the name of the color in the description. its really hard to do

I've never thought about that. I image people who went blind later in life could make up images or see memories from the past. I can't think what someone who has been blind all there life would imagine. I would ask one, but even then it might be hard to understand since they don't know what the things really look like in the first place.

I'd imagine they would dream of their other sensations, mostly aural. I know I hear things when I dream sometimes, and have woken up from such.

Well if they can feel and touch things maybe they recreate what they feel in their dream or just in their consciousness when they are awake.
