Do blind people dream?

Jeeves

I believe all people dream as it is a function of the brain to sort the day's experiences while 'off line'. A blind person still has a lot of sensory input during the waking hours and shares all the worries, joys and emotions of sighted people. I would guess that dreams only appear in terms of senses that the dreamer has experienced. Mar 27 02, 10:03 AM

I'm certain that they do, and of course vision is only one aspect of dreaming. I might mention that one of my dogs is blind, and he certainly displays the symptoms of dreaming. Mar 27 02, 11:21 AM
