Thread: Light

If a blind person could lucid dream could they be able to comprehend light?

Our eyes are not capable of seeing in darkness, thats a fact. The human eye just can't very well (as opposed to lets say some animals). But people often forget that we don't 'see with our eyes' , the eyes are simple transferring stuff. Its the consciousness that perceives and puts things into an image. Simply, its a weird idea that everything you see is simply a picture in your consciousness. (its there, but thats how we see it). Now when you dream, the eye no longer picks up info..so it must be only the consciousness that is seeing directly, without a 2nd party. So, in theory shouldnt a blind person be able to see? I mean, its his eyes that are not working, not his brain/consciousness.

if they've been blind all their life no, if they've only become blind after seeing, yes. explain red to somebody that has never seen it before. you can't. this carries over into your dream. so then you have to explain light to somebody that's never seen it before - you can't. this has been discussed sooooo many times (why is this in senseless banter?)

this is what i belieave if a person goes blind sometime later in there life they will still have normal dreams like the rest of us
if someone is born blind and never really knows what things look like then they dream what they "SEE" during the day like if you close your eyes you see dark ness they have there other sences to have the dream with
