I have a brother who is blind. Due to optic nerve damage. From what we have been told. There is nothing medical that can be done. However nerves can, and have been known to rejuvenate on their own.

Can't say that I have...\n\nPerhaps you do it too much during the day and your body kicked into auto-pilot... have you ever driven home and not remember driving home?\n\nSlow down man, pace yourself, you don't want to hurt yourself...

i do it all the time!  \n\nthe people who think it's impossible are uniformed. \n\nclosing your eyes is the natural involuntary response, but when i was young i realised that i could voluntarily keep my eyes open. \n\nIt is possible, and i have had no ill effects from doing it.  I think it is a fun way to impress my friends.  They all think I'm weird, and i like it like that!

Obviously we're talking about those who were born blind and have neer seen color.  No, I don't think this can be done.  A blind person would have no frame of reference, nothing to relate to.

Yes, it leads to blindness.  I can only see out of one eye now due to excessive consumption during my youth.  If only Yahoo Answers had existed then!

i can relate! have you ever driven? i used to love to drive, it was the one thing i could never imagine giving up. then panic attacks and vertigo took over. its been over 3 years since i had a license. i'm taking little drives now on just the backroads at night and not far from the house, and not alone just in case i panic. i want to drive again. i didnt ask for this and i dont want it, but its going to be a long road back to feeling what other people call "normal". if you need someone to talk to i'm here.

Hi Maddy, I am taking a few moments this morning to reduce stress, pre-wedding jitters, not really nerves, just the usual worries of everything going correctly, as planned. lol \n\nSo, here I am anwering one of your great questions! ;-)  I too have often mused on how the blind or others who have lost a sense, manage to do things, normal everyday things those who have all five senses take for granted on a daily basis. I have mused on what it would be like to be blind. You see, one of my daughters had a knife put out her left eye when she was six. It was a horrific experiance for her and also her father and I. While she has not been completely blind sense birth, we have always been very worried, and sensitive of the worry she may lose sight in her one remaining eye. She was able to 'keep' her damaged eye, but she is basically 90% blind, only able to see shadows and blurred color in it. So, you can imagine this is something I have thought about a great deal. \n\nI read the answers you received when I first clicked here. Bonacua B is as close to an honest interpretation, or considered response than any other. Now, imagination does not require sight. They 'way' they imagine things will be different than those with sight, but they still will have dreams and imagination. Blind folks are as capable of those with sight of being able to be imaginative, innovative, creative and otherwise intuitive. They are in a unique position to provide an alternate view, which can be very impressive. When we are in a 'think tank' it is of best interest to implement as diverse a group as possible. When we keep the group diverse we are able to obtain a uniquely cohesive thought process which can produce great innovative and creative 'out of the box' thinking. This will enable the group to come up with a tremendously increased measure of ideas and concepts. When we place a group of non diverse members into a position of requiring innovative and creative ideas, they are limited to only simular processes as they all have the same abilities and therefor are limited. \n\nThe blind may not be able to see 'color' but color has more than a visual affect. Color is uniquely viewed by each individual with sight. Men and women see colors differently. There are scientific studies which demonstrate these differences between the sexes when it comes to seeing color. The blind are able to imagine colors by using verbal stimuli to create a visual concept. Colors also create emotions, blue is calming, red is stimulating, yellow is comforting, black can be either rage, or blankness, grey is dismal, etc. By utilizing all the elements of color the blind are able to concepulize these and form their own unique 'vision' of color. \n\nEmotions are very strong elements, and they are created from many differing sourses. When we are able to utilize all of our resourses we are then able to acheive our highest potentials. The blind are not any different in this as those who see. \n\nThose who are born blind do NOT increase other senses to 'compensate' for the lost sense. Studies have shown that the other senses which are seeminly increased, are available for the sighted to acheive those inhanced heighths. We ALL have the capasity to use our senses to a maximine capasite, the same as the blind, we just don't do it. When we are trained to use our senses to the highest levels we are able to acheive seeminly spiritual elements within our abilities to minipulate them. Most people just do not work on increasing their senses to the degree of their full capasity. The blind are trained to do so. So, it is not an ability to obtain any higher degree of use in remaining senses, above the ability of any seeing person, it is just they work at acheiving these 'high' degree of developed senses. \n\nI firmly believe the born blind are as able as any other to imagine and dream. The way this is manifested may be different, of course it

Yes, and what a trip. There was this guy in my house. I sensed it. I flew up out of bed and this male silhouette is in my living room. Only he's just black like the absence of matter. But he was there. I yelled at him to GET OUT. He went through, literally, the door, without opening it. Then I looked down at my hands and they were that weird black. I flew back into my body and sat up. It just happened.\n\nAnother time I was meditating. I saw this incredibly white light. But it didn't hurt my eyes. And I felt totally safe,satisfied, contented and euphoric all at once. It lasted an instant and was gone. This I induced.

Yes I have , don't be like me.Go to the doctor and get it taken care of .  I now have no hearing and that ear.this is not something to play around with .

Yes I have and probably will again, being only human. It usually happens after I've done something that makes me feel like a complete fool everytime I think about it! Whatever has happened to you probably isn't as bad as you think it is right now and you'll live through it one way or another, Talk to pinkstealth there. She looks like she's got her ears on and waiting for you.

No, I can barely walk without tripping over my own feet.  I would definitely break something if I threw reading into the mix. (Edit... and apparently I can't think and spell at the same time either.)

Yes I did.  It was both funny and embarrassing.  A friend of mine is a hypnotist and put on a small demonstration at a party.  I volunteered.  I "came out of it" suddenly finding myself in a shower fully clothed running water over my head singing to a rubber ducky.  This was in front of 10 people.\n\nI guess it could have been worse and he could have suggested I take my clothes off first!\n\nI was so embarrassed for weeks.

You are so alone. I used to stare at the sun and be happy. (With my first grade education-- I thought the sun was my friend.) Then, my mom told me I would blind myself and I grew up to realize that I don't like looking at the sun, and I don't get angry. . . Or look back. You are completely alone.
