Light

[Jrels]

Okay, so I've had a couple drinks but... I've been thinking about light lately. I mean in assosciation with dreams that is. In real life we need light to be there in order for us to see things., but in a dream somehow we are able to replicate the sensation of light. Almost like creating something from nothing. I wonder what a blind person's dreams are like...

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.

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
