Does a blind person dream in REM?
With all respect to a person that struggles with the absence of sight, I was curious of something. If a person has never had their sight, what kind of dreams would they have? If anyone has any input on this subject or insights please post. One added thought. REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement and is present in most cases when we dream. The REM is believed to be related to the eyes looking at things in the dream. You C what I’m getting at.

If you use the 'search' option above you can find lots ofuseful information regarding this question, i remember someone making a fascinating post on the subject of blind people and REM cycles (colour perception etc) but i cant be arsed finding it again as it was AGES ago and i'm lazy (lol).
Guess putting in "Blindness+REM" might come up with some interesting posts.
