thats hard to say considering dreams are the result of REM (rapid eye movement), the state that your in when your dreaming is similar to being awake only your eyes are 'shut off'...its difficult to say though...try google? on a simliar note, I wondered if a blind person took a strong hallucinogen such as DMT or Salvia, would they experience visuals similar to what we see as 'closed eye visuals'?
I think yes.People don't see when are awake,but drems are something like imagination, they are in their head, not in their eyes.
Do blind people not experience the world in a different way from us i.e. without sight. Would that not mean their dreams would b in the same experience as their everyday experiences. Someone who has not been blind for all their life may see things but I think it would b very hard for someone who has never seen anything to conjour up vision with their imagination. ive thought of this before. I'm glad it came up and am interested in other peoples thoughts about it.
i wouldnt think people who are blind would dream like we do. i think you dream what you know. i would imagine they would dream about things they experience in their lives. but what do i know?
i think maybe but since they've never seen anything before maybe they have no boundries to what they see, maybe they see colors we've never seen
maybe the ones that used 2 be able 2 see and then went blind could see in their dreams cos the used to be able to, i hav no idea though, ask a blind person
this question was actually addressed in my psychology book. They've found that those who were blind from birth do not have visual dreams, but they still have auditory dreams. I'm assuming this means that people who have become blind later in life still have visual dreams, but less precise. Probably random shapes and colors that wouldn't make sense to someone with vision.
I would actually be interested in finding out about a blind persons experience on a psychedelic like dmt and salvia as mellow mentioned.I wonder if they would see a visual reality or just get a body buzz,also I wonder how they would interpret out of body experiences..
well yes, considering dreams are random sensory expereinces sent out from our inner brain during REM sleep, which then our brain trys to make sense of them, i would have to say that no, considering they have never expereiced sight
very deep, i have asked that question myself. I dont think they could see if they have not experienced sight, if they have seen before they lost their sight ,yeah. i wonder what their dreams are like...when you cant see.
Depends on if they where born blind... If they where born blind then yes but I think its completely different then what we see....
