blind dreaming

[six66picupstyxx]

i know there are posts like this, but if someone can see when they are born, but lose their vision after a month, would they be able to see things in dreams later on? i was wondering this because i am pretty sure most people can't remember anything about being born and very early years of life.

I'm sure that even if born blind, they may be able to "see" in dreams. Example: I don't normally fly in real life, yet my dreams know how to make the sensation of flying seem pretty real!

This question pops up every couple of months. Here is a scientific article about dreaming in blind people. Its main points are summarized here: 1. There are no visual images in the dreams of those born without any ability to experience visual imagery in waking life. 2. Individuals who become blind before the age of five seldom experience visual imagery in their dreams, although Deutsch (1928) reports some visual imagery in six schoolchildren who lost their sight before age five. 3. Those who become sightless between the ages of five and seven may or may not retain some visual imagery. 4. Most people who lost their vision after age seven continue to experience at least some visual imagery, although its frequency and clarity often fade with time.
