why not, do u dream with ur eyes open?\n\nPeople who are visually impaired from birth appear to lack visual imagery in their dreams. It's believed that the parts of their brains that register visual information remain dormant. \nAccording to this fascinating article by Diego Kaski in the International Medical Students' Journal, even people who lose their sight early in childhood retain visual imagery in their dreams well into adulthood. However, this imagery fades over time. \n\nNevertheless, blind people do dream and often describe their dreams in terms of places and surroundings. An article from the University of Santa Cruz notes that blind dreams feature a "very high percentage of gustatory, olfactory, and tactual sensory references," something very unusual for sighted dreamers to experience. \n\nFor some intriguing and descriptive quotes on the subject, read Richard Catlett Wilkerson's article "Dreams of the Blind."

As the mother of a blind child, the answer is definately blind. My 16 y.o. son was born blind. It was heartbreaking. But we have taught him he can do anything except drive and fly a plane. And that's the truth. To see the world would be fantastic. He so wishes he could. But, to be deaf, you cannot communicate except through sign language or by reading lips. Either way you have to be looking towards the person. One would never hear music. Hear the world, noises, and the people around us. Sometimes this is a blessing with the words being used today! But, it is so much better to hear that puppy growl and hold it, feel the softness than just see it run around. We have allowed our son to touch everything we can think of and explore it with his hands, hear it, feel the texture and the temperature, taste it if possible. No he cannot see a rainbow. But a deaf person can't hear one either. Our son can't draw well or sign his name very legibly. But, I'll bet you it is a heck of a lot better than 1/2 of the people on this earth. Many whom are illiterate and some who are not and are just too stupid or ignorant to write. \n\nOur son has felt and heard dinosaurs, birds, horses, dogs, lions, elephants, snakes and much more. How many people have got to touch a real dinosaur skeleton and explore it with their hands. Other objects have been bought as stuffed or in minatures and he allowed to feel it. We arranged for a New Mexico zoo to allow it. Our son started learning braille when he was about 4 y.o. He was proficient by age 9. This includes the 26 letters of the alphabet, all the punctuation symbols used in writing, all the Math symbols, and 180 contractions such as ing, th ie, ar, ph. He has had to learn 4-5 times as much as all other kids his age and memorize it all. He is gifted musically and plays the piano beautifully. He has learned to play by ear with lessons taught and practiced with by using a tape recorder. Can a deaf person do this? And now we have books on tape. No good for a deaf person. There is a State Library in Austin where he can order and receive books in braille-many other places in the country, also for free. Sure a deaf person can read normally. But can only discuss it with another deaf person unless he writes it all down.  No he can't play sports, but there is not a sports commentary on the radio he cannot keep up with. They are so detailed. He does weight lifting, running, and goalball-a sport specifically for visually impaired kids instead. It has gone pro and has been an international game for years. It may soon be included in the Olympics. It is not a sport for wimps. There are some real hard hitters. Yes, our son has many struggles and challenges ahead of him. But for now he is an  A-B student planning on attending UT. His parents and close friends will be there to assure that he succeeds and becomes a productive, working member of society knowing how to utilize the resources around him to do what he cannot. How many sighted people have such a supportive backing?

They don't see, they remember things that the've touched. It's a different form of sensory compared to people who can see. Blind peple depend on touch, so when they dream, they dream things that they can feel and touch. =>

if a person has never seen anything before, they're perception of things is quite different than ours. even by touch, they still cannot form images like we do. our dreams consist of everything we've ever encountered, so our imagination cannot be limited.by not having that sense of image your brain relies on other stimuli to interpret their\nenviroment.

the part that make us dream is in the brain. it's got nothing to do with the mechanic of sight loss and audio lost...

You take a test at the eye doctor.  Color blind people generally only lack the ability to see certain shades of a color like purple for example.  They wouldn't be able to differnciate between a sheet of blue and a sheet of purple paper.

Do this experiment in your own home...wear a blindfold for 24 hours...that's all you need to understand how a blind person "sees" and navigates the world. An ex-girlfriend that was blind had me do this.

I have never heard that at all.. in fact I have never heard a documented account of a blind person 'seing' or 'feeling' ghosts. It would more likely than not depend on what sort of blindness we were talking about here. If they had become blind during their life, then possibly it could be more to do with imagination. If they've been blind all their life, then that would be more interesting, as they would, in theory, never have seen any images of ghosts, so wouldn't know what one looked like, and would be unable to describe one, having never seen colours or shapes to describe what shapes or colours they were seeing. So I would say it would be more likely to sense or hear, not see.

Try Wikipedia.\n\nrizzblizz:\n\nCan it be proven that only men can be color blind? Do you know any women who are color blind?

Some people dream in colour, some in black and white.  Some people also have stereo sound.  I believe it has to do with which side of your brain is dominant... I think

My boyfriend who is blind in one eye says he does not gain the ability to see out of both eyes when he dreams. He thinks this is because he was born that way. He suggests that if a blind person was once sighted they will probably see in their dreams. However, if they were like him and born that way, they would not. He once explained it to me that seeing out of that one eye is as foreign to him as me seeing out of my finger.

Obviously we're talking about those who were born blind and have neer seen color.  No, I don't think this can be done.  A blind person would have no frame of reference, nothing to relate to.
