The blind do dream. |
|
I understand that everyone def, blind, mentally challenged, etc has dreams but what about the blind. If you are born blind you have never seen anything therefore cant conjure images that well. What would a blind person dream about? Thx for the input DV |

Makes me wonder if, after a while of not 'needing' eyesight, your brain will adapt to SUCH a degree that you won't even be able to see in dreams. I know it'll adapt, I just wonder if the change will be THAT drastic. |

Cortical adaptation/plasticity is what I was thinking about, should be the same term? |
|
well i was thinking more of the lines like someone who's blinded imediatly...like some kind of accident....a person who gradually looses sight may take an even longer time to start dreaming in sounds...since they probably still have some recoginition of shapes and colors. |
|
If a person were to start out being able to see, then become blind, and eventually start to dream with just sounds, would they be able to use dream control to bring back their vision? |
|
I'm not sure what I'm presuming... It could just be that they get used to not seeing so it becomes more normal than seeing is. Then again, if you stay in a pitch black place for too long you'll go blind because part of your brain shuts down. Or something along those lines. |
|
If a blind person can see in their dream than their dreams would feel more real than their real life... O.o |

What if a lucid dreamer became blind? By having dreams where they can see, they might be able to keep the part of their brain that deals with vision from wilting. That would be an interesting experiment. |
|
I can see that working if the person is able to get lucid almost everyday, and they're excellent at memory induced lucid dreams and dream incubation. having history in visual arts like drawing painting ect would be a plus as well. |
