Thread: Blindness and dream

I've read that people that were born blind dream with their other senses, but since seeing has to be learned they don't see. People who became blind later dream like the rest of us.

That makes sense... but, would you agree that their dreams might be somewhat stressed in hearing, touching, smelling, and tasting? It might be a very interesting kind of experience.

The "Color Dreams" thread has a whole ton of stuff about blind people's dreams. I'm sure that the longer a person is blind the more the other senses start to dominate the dreams.

Similarly, I'm sure paraplegics who weren't born that way have dreams in which they are walking, but get fewer as time goes on.
