I assume you mean blind from birth? Maybe they only dream of sounds?

I have always wondered this.

You can describe what a car looks like and they can even feel an automobile.

But if they dream of one what does it look like to them.



An automobile can be sexy, but let's take this up a notch....what about a fine arse chick, or even a decent chick. What would feeling her naked body be like. I know it's seriously mental for some people, but imagine being blind in that situation and suddenly being able to see... would that make it better or worse do you think? Even if she's fine as frick, that might still frick you up.

Doubt that. They're aware that other people can hear. Just like blind people know others can see. So if anything, a dream about everyone staring at them or something would be a nightmare....the question is, what would it look like in their mind... probably the same as they can sense most everything still and know what people are like.

Deaf people experience a parallel effect in their dreams as blind people. Those who’ve been deaf from early childhood don’t hear sounds in their dreams and people talking in their dreams do so in sign language. Their dreams have also been shown to be much more vivid in terms of imagery and colors than people who can hear and see.

I’ve known a few blind people. If someone has been blind from birth there is zero reference for them to imagine things. For instance you can’t say that’s a nice car and expect them to conjure up an image in their mind. They can use touch and description from others to help but It doesn’t necessarily mean they imagine a car as vision-abled people do.

Folks that went blind, even as a young child, they have some frame of reference.

I've never done any psychedelics, but have also pondered this.

In the past two days I've learned that blind people see noises as colors in their head and that only high end escorts will stick around for the full hour paid if you jizz early. This place delivers answers to the tough questions every so often.



I think it’s worth noting that you mentioned that you’ve never done psychedelics, but you did not clarify if you’ve banged an escort (low or high end) or not.

I mean my dreams have sound, so I don't see why blind people can't have dreams.

Of course they dream. I interviewed a blind-from-birth preacher years ago for a newspaper story and he was very frank about it all. He said he mostly dreams in sound and feel. He assigns worth from other senses to dreams. He knows the touch and feel of his wife and determines his own sense of beauty.

He was also a huge LSU football fan and went to games and listened to them on radio earphones and developed his own version of the sport in his mind.

He particularly fed off the excitement and roar of the crowd. The contagion of the game. He felt the emotion of it all. I was kind of jealous.

He also admitted it’s tough living in a sighted world but he does not fret over over what he does not know what he’s missed — kind of like us explaining to a bat or dolphin what it’s like not to have echo location sensing or to a snake that we can’t miss tasting heat and motion. You literally don’t know what you’re missing.

I believe blind people dream of electric sheep.

Try the Val Kilmer movie “At First Sight” (1999). It addresses some of these issues. It could be better but it is worth seeing for philosophical reasons.

Without that qualifier it could be interpreted as dreams meaning the great things they're going to accomplish in life.

But let's be honest. Blind people ain't accomplishing shite.
