I asked this in a post once too, a couple months ago. Those blind since birth feel and hear in their dreams but still dont see a thing
hmm my dad doesnt know either. i think billionfold and jugg have had the closest answers. anybody else have input?
I really doubt it would be anything close to what we think of, they have NEVER seen anything, they don't even know what sight is, if they suddenly were able to see something I bet they would go "huh, soooo this is sight?"
its like trying to picture a tree or a plant you've never EVER seen before and have never seen anything like it before, how do you have even the remotest idea what it will look like?
I would wager they don't think sight is actually like what it really is.
I've actually asked a person who was blind from birth, and he did not report "seeing" anything in his dreams. An interesting thing about blind people is that the visual cortex in their brains can shrink down to almost nothing, and the parts related to other senses grow into the space that the visual cortex isn't using.Quote:

ive also heard this. when someone loses one of their senses others are intensified in a way
i talk to thsi blind child who is about 14 years old
she has never seen anything in her life
she is a lil strange but very smart
she is very afraid of how trucks sound
like thos ebig constuction ones i guess
she asked me to decribe one to her cuz
she is so scared of them that she cries
the way we imagine monsters or demons
that is how she views a truck
poor kid
Thats sad:(
i imagine blind folk can accurately depict alot of common images and probably fill the unknown with logic, especially in their dreams.
Maybe give her a model truck and let her feel it?...(geez wish I could help)
ya i feel bad for your friend white owl. but thats a good idea chronisseur with giving her a toy truck. try that then see if she dreams about it and ask what a truck looked like to her in her dream
I have read that if people are born blind then they don't dream or its obviously different then non-blind peoples dreams, maybe just thoughts or objects that they can create in their minds, etc.Quote:
