Can blind people see in their dreams?
470420
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.

NO NO and NO anyone can have dreams. you can not control them and it does not mean thwt what you dream is fact. I could dream of being in a horror film and i know it wont ever come true it doesnt make me a movie star so dont worry you are fine and your not a homo

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.

Well of course they sleep, but they certainly do dream. In fact their dreams are more vivid and sensual then sighted people because blind people have very strong senses. Their hearing, tasting, and sense of smell are quite accurate.

Yes.\n\nBut only in your dreams.

Dreams are thoughts.  Often those are pictures and sounds more than they are language.  So I say yes there can be thought without language.

sometimes, you can be legally blind, but able to see a small bit... so maybe they can double check... \n\nPlus, blind people may be in the passenger seat, and reaching over... or in the back seat...\n\nAnd, most likely, all ATM buttons are made the same way, because it would make economic sense to have only one mold for the numbers in the ATM factory.  :)

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.

I agree.  I have a multi-handicapped daughter who was transported to heaven in a dream.  She saw lions and lambs.  children,  Bright blue sky (but no sun) all kinds of trees growing side by side.  and a Man, walking with her.  yea,  i believe that this is a vision of heaven.

Yes, it would be possible, depending on the reason for blindness.

They'd dream in pitch black as they have never had any visual points of reference. They do not know what things look like so cannot dream about it subconciously. Their dreams would involve sounds, emotions, thoughts and their perception of the seeing world.

I don't know but there's some interesting stuff in a book called "Take Off Your Glasses and See" by Jacob Lieberman about how there are people who are "blind" who can "see", even to describe the trees on the road they are walking on, if you are interested in other aspects of blindness.

Some people say they can see the future. Some see the future in dreams or visions. Many people actually dream about the future. Most peoples dreams do not come true or don't always come true.

I do not believe that a persons ability to see would have anything to do with their ability to dream.

I've read a book on this and if I can find the copy I'll tell you the name of it.  No, a person who has been blind since birth do not actually see but they dream of their auditory senses, smell and touch.  They experience what life has given to them.  \n\nThere has been acutal sight incidences with blind people who where blind since birth in a near death experience.  They said that what they saw was a blinding light, something that they have never experienced in life.

In reality or in their dreams?
