What do blind people dream about?

[LoveToStack]

that'd be like imagining something from scratch though. Although I spose touch gives them a good idea of how things are.

they dont know what sight is. so they dream in every other sense, like hearing and feeling.

think of it this way: if there was another planet full of humans exactly like earth, but they had one more sense than us (i dont know what another sense would be, just use your imagination, it doesnt matter), they would probably be wondering how anyone dreams without that sense. but here we are doing just that. it's not like they're missing anything, they just never had it at all. they dream with every other sense is all.

It's most probably like windows media player when you play an audio file and it shows you the fancy optics because there's no video file.

I am guessing the same as everyone else, whatever is on their mind.

I don't know, ask them.

try explaining colours to someone whos been blind since birth and then i'll ask them for you.

they could imagine what things look like

not if theyve been blind from birth. they cant even fathom what images are.

According to some, they see colours and shapes in their mind. They can tell you what shapes they saw, but because a colour needs to be seen to be known, they don't know what to call it. The mind can paint it's own pictures without eyesight, there's just no realism to them, if that makes sense? Like they can imagine a person but they're very vivid representations on what they perceive to be a person, so basic shapes like the outline of the body - no major details like you would get on faces, or hair, but it varies on the person.

I've got no idea. However it must be hard and frustrating not being able to dream like other people.
