Think of dreams as your imagination. You can close your eyes and "see" what you're imagining. Yes... blind people have dreams, just as regular as anyone else.

Probably not because what you experience in that day or what you think about in that day (or days before), thats what you dream about. It can even be the littlest things that happen or what you think about.
But studies led by a psychologist at the University of Hartford show that for the blind, depending on when in life they lost their sense of sight, the reverse seems to be true. People born without the ability to see report no visual imagery in their dreams, but they do experience a heightening of taste, touch and smell. They also report a higher percentage of dreams that involve mishaps related to traveling or transportation, perhaps reflecting one of their biggest daytime concerns: safely finding their way around.
Yes, they do have dreams but whether or not they images in their dreams depend on when they went blind. If they were born blind, they have no reference as to what things look like, therefore their dreams rely more on sounds and feelings, without images. If they were born with sight and then lose their vision, then their dreams will have images in them.
They probably do because their brain still works even though they can't see.
Of course! Just because they're blind doesn't mean their minds don't work!
He said his bad dreams are usually about problems with getting places, which makes sense, since this is when they are most vulnerable.
Yes,like how I dream of dancing with walrises and I never have. Blind people can imagine things to see.
People who have been blind since birth do dream, but their dreams are rich with touch, taste, and smell, instead of visuals.
Yes, of course! Though if they were born blind, they might have to imagine what things look like.
But what I wanna know is how do you people know if they do or not? You're not blind.
Yes, they do. I read in a medical journal about a man who has been blind since birth. He says that he definitely dreams, but his dreams are rich with taste, smell and touch. There is no visual because his brain has never "seen" anything.
Don't feel bad about the typing thing. I make lots of mistakes when I type. That's the reason that my answers are not usually near the top, because I always proof-read what I've written. Even so, I still miss things that I only see after my answer or comment has posted.
Have a wonderful day, Merlin. I will watch for you! :-)
dreams are a conglomeration of your senses. They are composed by what you perceive as reality. If one of your senses is missing, sight, your dreams may be different than others, but still exist. Your sub- conscience does many things while you dream. It files, folds, delivers any knowledge & emotion you have attained in a day to the appropriate places in your brain. This is why dreams seem to last hours, when in "reality" only last seconds. You aren't in a "reality" state when you dream. I am going to say yes... Of course blind people dream. Good question though, sometimes I wonder about my own theory (as I mentioned above.) and wonder if they smell or feel in there dreams as oppose to see. I hope this gives an insight on a different angle for you! Sweet Dreams and Take Care.
No, they don't :/
Of course they have dreams. That's really their only way of seeing. When they dream they can Imagine what they can't see in real life.
Yes, blind people have dreams because dreams are usually made when your eyes are closed. Therefore, blind people have dreams just like you and me. :)
its possible they dont know colors though they dont know what people look like to have a visioon or a dream they need something to see to base it off of
Are you people stupid or something? Blind people can't dream. :D
I find it fascinating that all of the answers refer to sight, or sound or smell. Let me throw this out there. If a person is blind from birth, it makes sense that they would be able to smell. However if they have never seen, then how would they know if they were dreaming in images? There would be nothing to compare it to. They would recognize smells and sounds, but images might still be there but without an existing knowledge of said vision it might not click.
I would ask a blind person. A blind person ought to know.
Definitely not, ANYTHING that you know is based off of past experience. Unless they were NOT born with it, they cannot have dreams. If you were NOT born with blindness, you may be able to have dreams.
If they were born blind then they dream about sounds, if they were blind later on in there life then they dream images and sounds.
yes blind people do have dreams how i know is i asked my mom
Yes they can, that's like saying can you drink water if you're deaf.
Dreams of the blind were a research area in the early days after the discovery of REM (rapid-eye-movement) sleep, which is when the visual component of dreams occur. Blind people dream, yes. They experience sound and touch in their dreams just like the rest of us. Those who acquired their blindness after early childhood usually had REM, indicating a return of vision in dreams, with the frequency and intensity of visual dreams fading over time. Those who had been blind from birth seem to have no visual component in dreams.

YES! they dream about things in past lives!
Yes. They 'perceive' others, as well as themselves, in much the same way one would imagine something non-corporeal..black & white is most often the colour-scheme, in human subject studies, to my best recollection.
I had the same question a few months ago and yes they do!
no,i would know...im blind
Yes....this depends on imagination ,and it doesn't mean that if they are net having eyes so they cannot imagine.And if the blind see the world and get blind ( means he/she is blind from birth ) So he/she can only imagine the world.
Dreams are a effect of R.E.M (rapid eye movement) and blind people can do this but they won't "see" the dream but they can "hear" it
Wow, this is such a good question! Blind people can dream just like us. Its like we close our eyes and imagine, its the same with the sight-impaired:)
