does a blind and deaf person dream?or just blind?

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...

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, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I've met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30. "

I would probably prefer to be blind.\n\nYou can learn to see with your hands, and touch is a more stimulating sensation anyway...but there is no way to replace the loss of your hearing.\n\nImagine never again hearing the voice of someone you love...

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.

This a question I answered once!\n\n1. Blind born people aren't able to visualize because the visual area is not developped\n2. People that blind during their life ... is possible if visual area is intact ... ask someone in this category ...

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.

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.

I dream in color 99% of the time.  I really can't recall dreaming in black and white.  I'm sure everyone is different, however, to some extent.

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.

As with many other sensory handicaps the other senses get much more acute. Yes many people do use seeing eye dogs and many cities use the tones but many blind people do not have these and get along just fine. The hearing of blind people is normally exceptional and they are able to hear traffic and others crossing.

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.

Yes. My grandmother is blind from a disease known as maculuar degeneration.  She dreams in full color.  She doesn't know if the colors look like what everyone else sees, according to her.  But she dreams about an apple and it is what she thinks red should be.  She can "see" what an apple looks like by feeling its shape and texture.  She imagines the rest.

I have never heard that at all.. in fact I have never heard a documented account of a blind person 'seing' or 'feeling' ghosts. It would more likely than not depend on what sort of blindness we were talking about here. If they had become blind during their life, then possibly it could be more to do with imagination. If they've been blind all their life, then that would be more interesting, as they would, in theory, never have seen any images of ghosts, so wouldn't know what one looked like, and would be unable to describe one, having never seen colours or shapes to describe what shapes or colours they were seeing. So I would say it would be more likely to sense or hear, not see.

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

well, just think about it. we often dream because of things that we see or experience in our lives. A blind person would most likely dream about things they experience in their lives. But since they cannot see these things, they must imagine what they would look like. therefore, they probably dream about what they think things are like. They would dream about what they picture in their mind when they experience something. Although, im not an expert, but that's just my theory.
