How do deaf people talk inside there head? How do blind people dream?

For one you dont need to be able to hear to think, and thats what you essentially do when your talking inside your head.  Secondly your thoughts while you dream are not connected to your sense of sight.  From what I have heard your brain is wired to allow people to see what they dream, the one thing different would be that what those people see in their dreams wouldnt be influenced by what they see in the outside world

Well yeah, id think so. Since they really arent talking with their mouths, but their hands. Thatll definitely be a question I have ask to my deaf friends. Thanks

I feel sure that someone who has lost their sight later in life dreams just like you and I.  But blind from birth not sure. What visual references would they have?  Good question?

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.

Easily.  \n\nAs mentioned there is a device that attaches to the phone called a TTY (or TTD) with a keyboard; they call a TRS (Telephone Relay Service) where a translator reads the TTY, dials up the person being called and then voices the conversation. The operator then listens to the hearing person and translates the call back to the keyboard to the deaf person.\n\nI have several deaf friends and get these calls all the time.\n\nThe newset twist though is VRS or Video Relay Service, this is for deaf people with a broadband connection and a web cam, they just have to sign (ASL) to the operator and the operator will translate to the hearing person.\n\nOf course for a deaf person to talk to another deaf person would use the same devices but not need the operator.  \n\nBut every deaf person i know uses a text mesage service like a Blackberry or other SMS device.\n\nAnd the telephone has a strobe light that blinks when the phone rings.

Only if they can hear. There different degrees of deafness. Some can hear a little to not being able to hear at all. Some were born that way while other happen over time.\n\nThe same is true with dreams of a deaf person they do not dream voices the dream in sign.\n\nThey have a complex language that takes usually 8 years to master. The same area in the brain that is used for spoken language is also used in sign. \n\nHere are some links to help you better understand ASL American Sign Language.

Stevie Wonder is NOT deaf, if he was how would he had been able to make such good music? He was born blind from not enough oxygen to the brain.

My guess is that this person would learn to experience life without vision at all, and thus would dream sounds, tactile sensations, etc. but would see very few visions in their dreams at all beyond those they would see during the course of a day (most blind people are not 100% sightless).

i guess its called reflexes its not controllable. some people even talk when they dream. have you ever seen a cat or a dog sleeping, notice that their paws may move and they may have some uncontrollable light barking (for dogs). i guess theres nothing you can do sorry.

When I dream, I don't just see things, I also feel them.  I remember dreams that I've tasted food, felt pain, smelled flowers, and heard noises.  I would imagine that in a blind person's dreams, that is how they dream, the same way they experience the world.

If they have never seen anything- they can't dream the images either.  I had a friend that was blind since birth tell me that what she sees is the same thing you see out of the back of your head.  Meanig- you can't actually see anything- but you might have the perception that something is there.

This is so, well, mean.  A mentally retarded person, who is blind and deaf would most likely be in a home of some sort.  There would be ways of communication.  \n\nAnd it is most likely that this person is not mentally retarded, but is called "dumb" because of the lack of formal education that is suited to his needs.  There is a special form of sign language that is used for people who are both deaf and blind.

First what are dreams? Second, why do we have them?\n\nPeople born blind do dream, but those dreams are based on what they have sensed before -- textures, sounds, smells and tastes. (I surmise in that order too).\n\nI'll answer the first question, but scientists are still figuring out the second one. Dreams coincide with your brain being active while you sleep. Neurons, the cells of the brain, sends and receives nerve impulses, almost like a cascade or a "random" screen-saver.  Why?  There might be a hint in the fact we go crazy and die if we don't sleep. And we sleep to dream. It may be like re-booting your computer now and then. It puts all the files back in their respective folders, resets all the registers, and organizes your information.\n\nOoops, its getting late, I need to reboot my computer.

There are a lot of theories as to what causes someone to be "dumb" or unable to speak. In some cases there are physical problems with the vocal chords, (ie they are malformed or underdeveloped), in some cases there are other physical abnormalities that cause a person to be unable to make certain or all sounds.\n\nIn other cases, it is a matter of problems with the portions of the brain that control speech. Whether through malformation or though damage these parts of the brain are unable to function properly and therefore the person is unable to make the connection between thought and speech in the brain (in many of these cases there are no other problems it just seems like a short circuit). \n\nStill there are others who cannot speak because they cannot hear. Many deaf people who have been deaf since birth are unable to reproduce speech because they have never heard it and most of our ability to speak is learned through mimicking.\n\nThere are no simple answers and there are some cases that are unexplained (ie.. psychosomatic cases where there may be no physical problem but a psychological one that inhibits the ability to speak).\n\nI hope that answers your question.

The mind's eye sees differents than the eyes you see things with normally. Close your eyes and picture things in your mind. You still "see" in your mind, can't you? The blind person can likewise see in the mind's eye, providing that he wasn't born blind, and have had vision at some point in his life.\nI don't think that a person who has NEVER visualize anything in his life can view things a sighted person can, even in a dream.
