Can blind people see their dreams?

I would still imagine that they mind be able to, even if they had been blind since birth. When you dream, you can still use your imagination and I don't think that you necessarily need to see anything in order to dream. I don't really know, because I'm not blind, but I don't know if that would stop anyone from dreaming.

Blind people, weather they became blind later in life or born blind, can see things like us. Just not the same way. When a blind people wants to see your face, they usually see your face by touching. They can read by touching. They don't see letters & words by eyes like you & I but they can see in a way of tactile senses. Human brain gathers informations all the time. Blind people's way of gathering information is slightly different because they are missing one sense, eye sights. But they still gather informations about the surroundings all the time through smell, noises & touch. Then they have image in their mind, might be slightly different than an image that sighted people perceive, but still have an image in mind. They probably see that image in their dreams. I play poker, Texas hold'em, with a friend once a week. There's a girl that comes to the game once in a while. She's completely blind. She has seeing eye dog & a friend who helps her out with part of the game. She has a special deck of cards that has braille on the corner of each card that tells her what number & suit the card is. Then her friend tells her what the flop cards are. For those who are familiar with Texas Hold'em poker, you know what I mean. We talked about that once. I asked her if she could see her dreams & as soon as I asked her that, everybody sortta gave me a dirty look. Then she started laughing & said that's one of the most common question she gets & she said it was ok. First thing she asked when she was done laughing was, "You're getting bunch of dirty looks, aren't ya?" Everybody started giggling & we started talking since. She was really cool about it. She even made a joke, and remember, this came from a blind person. "You know what? Speaking of dreams, whenever I have a nightmare, my dog pees on a rug for days." Get it? Seeing eye dog joke, I guess... She had everybody in tears. Point is, according to her, she does "see" images in her dreams but she admits that it may not be exactly same "image" that we might see in our dreams. Oh, and she doesn't dream in colors.

Actually that is a rather interesting question and one that I really racked my mind about time and time again. I mean, dreams are visuals, therefore, they could have seen something, if they had been blinded later in life, as opposed to from birth. That would actually kind of not be fun, when you "see" things in your dream, but wake up and they are still blinded. That would really be an awful thing to say the very least, but it does raise an interesting question about how blind people preceive their dreams. Then again in dreams, there were times where I could almost smell, taste, and indeed a lot of times, hear things around me. Feel not to mention feel them. You just wonder if those senses are amplified for the blind in the dream world, as they are believed to have been in the real world. It is quite the interesting topic to think about and it really is fascinating to think of how blind people would perceive things in the dream world. I'm certain that there have been studies about such a thing in the past.

I think so, I wondered about this to- and I remembered there was a tv show that had this question...and the doctor or something said that they do. I forgot the explanation though, but even though they could not see their surroundings, they are still capable of seeing their dreams which are inside their head.

I really don't know whether they can see dreams but its interesting but painful too.

I don't know but I would think that if they were blind from birth they probably wouldn't because the have never saw anything therefore nothing would visualize in a dream. Perhaps if they went blind later in life they would still continue to see things in their dreams?? Good question! A point to ponder....

I think they do. Though they see would probably not the same as ours, especially if they're blind since their birth and how they see things are different too. It is said that our dreams have colours due to the fact that we see things in colours. The same thing would probably go for people who can't see.
