This a question I answered once!\n\n1. Blind born people aren't able to visualize because the visual area is not developped\n2. People that blind during their life ... is possible if visual area is intact ... ask someone in this category ...

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...

I asked a blind man once (born blind) what he dreamed and he told me that he always saw sparkling lights in his dream, he couldn't dream with anything because he doesn't know how it looks like...

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.

I am not blind and don't even know someone who is, but I should certainly think so - dreams are your brains way to deal what you experienced and are necessary for mental health. But probably blind person's dreams would be less visual than yours - maybe sounds are more dominant.

No. Some people are color blind, meaning they see only black/white. Some people are blind, meaning they don't see anything at all. Some are synesthesic, seeing random colors/shapes for letters...etc.

I think that blind people would have their own ideas of what things 'look like' based on the things that are explained to them.  but while you cant explain color necessarily to a blind person, other things you can, and sound helps too. some blind people have very blurred vision and are still able to make shapes out. i believe that based on what they imagine things to be, thats what they dream. maybe just mostly shapes. just as we dont know what (a) god looks like, we all imagine and dream up something we belive him/her/it to look like, even though there is societal influence on the image in question. i think its somewhat ignorant to think that blind people dream in black and sound...

I do not believe that a persons ability to see would have anything to do with their ability to dream.

" Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I've met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30. "

As strange as it may seem, people deaf from birth will dream in sign  language. If they don't know sign language, they will dream in whatever mode of communication they've learned. \n\nPeople blind from birth will dream in sound and touch. \n\nPeople who have gone blind or deaf but who could once see and hear will sometimes dream with their lost sense, and sometimes not. The longer they've been without the lost sense, the rarer the dream using it will be.

light is needed for viewing objects, but not for virtual ones. see our dreams are a interaction of waves produced in the brain. when there is interaction in the mind there is no need of light in that.

I dream in color 99% of the time.  I really can't recall dreaming in black and white.  I'm sure everyone is different, however, to some extent.

All people dream.  People that have never been able to see, "see" what they perceive they are seeing.  Blind people can read books, stories, news and other articles in Braille.

Legally blind does not mean you cannot see at all. There are many people who are legally blind, but they just tend to have really thick bifocals. My mom is legally blind and she just has certain limitations, such as not driving at night, etc.

I certainly seem to.  I have heard that people dream in black and white but remember the dreams in color, but that doesn't make sense to me.\n\nI had a dream just a few nights ago with very distinctive colors... a choppy brown ocean, a stormy blue sky, and a woman in a white dress wading in the water.

It depends on whether they actually were blind from birth, then no they have no dreams, just fears, but blind after having seen, then yes it 's possible but not necessary that much of a deal since it could be limit to what they have seen!

I believe so, just they dream with their hands. Let me explain... I have a deaf friend, and when non-deaf people think, they think with words, when a deaf person thinks, they think with sign language, not spoken words. It's probably the same with blind people, they probably dream with words (since they can talk) and with feel/touch (since they feel there way around).
