He would dream all that he knows. He would dream in smells... thoughts... touch... taste.

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

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.

A number of states allow legally blind persons to get drivers licenses. Depending on eye conditions, a person may not be able to focus close up, requiring braille for reading and writing, but be able to function fairly well for distance.

They can still see in their dreams, they see how they perceive the world.  Dreaming has nothing to do with sight, the visual aspects of dreaming are in our heads.

Depends on the dream. If you are dreaming that you are falling, then color is not of great importance. And again it depends on if the person was born blind vs going blind at age 20 when this person knows what colors are.

Totally blind from birth have no idea what colors are.  As you they dream what they know.  People that loose their sight later will dream in color because they have seen color.  It is very difficult for the seeing to understand those that do not.

first your question is very smart \n2ND i think to dream is something related to power of imagination so blinds can dream because they still have imagination but; what they see in there dreams may differ from the real world and what others can see ,this different happens to blinds in real life and in dreams ;the blind can touch apple and imagine a rounded shape for it even if this shape is not the 100% as the apple we see but he can see that rounded shape he imagined as an apple in his dreams.    \nbut for the color i didn't find an answer

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.

Yes. The blind man has extra ordinary powers in order to compensate him the blindness. This is a miracle of God as he is deprived by eyes but he has been given extra powers of touch and doing work with hands. YOU must have seen that blilndmen are also much educated and they learn and memorize lessons more perfectly than the person with eyesights. This is a miracle of God.

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).

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...

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...

Dreaming doesn't require your eyes. Dreams are made of subconcious brain activity while you're resting, and they're just basically illusions. There's no actual SEEING going on, so it doesn't require your eyes. They'll dream the same way as everyone else.\n\nHowever, if you were blind from birth, and therefore you don't KNOW what an image looks like, you'll probably dream strictly in emotions and sounds.

Basically, if you're a 'Lucid Dreamer', you can control what happens in your dream, and know when you're dreaming. Lucid Dreamers also see their dreams in color. \n\nas far as I know, there's no way to 'obtain' lucid dreams, you're just born with or without them. I suggest searching it up on Wikipedia for more information. I've provided the link below.

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.

It depends on what kind of blindness they have.  If they are born blind because of a problem with the areas of the brain that control sight, they will not have any sort of visual images in their dreams. Their brain cannot make the images if those areas are damaged.\n\nIf they are born blind because of a problem with thier eye or visual nerve, they may get "flashes" from the visual areas of the brain when random activity fires across them during sleep. But, they won't know what it is, and very little is remembered from most dreaming, anyway. They may even perceive, in their dream, that the "flash" is from a different sense that they DO have images and vocabulary for (sound, touch, taste, smell). They won't have any memories to pull on of real visual images. So even though they may "see" because of dream activity in that area of the brain, it isn't a "real" experience in thier dream.\n\nSomeone who was born with sight, and loses their vision later, WILL have dreams with visual images, because they have the memory to pull on, and images attached to language so that they can understand and remember.
