Can they see their dreams?, Hmmm.. Options

[casssy]

I was being bored and was looking at random friends away messages (what a life I have, haha ) and I came across one that made me think..

"Can blind people see dreams? Do they even dream?"

being the dummy I am, I dont know

can they see what they think the objects would look like if they were able to see? or is it an audio sensory experience involving the remaining senses?

I found these online:

Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I've met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30.

As stated above, everyone dreams. In general, people's dream experience is similar to their waking experience. That is, while most sighted people's dreams are primarily visual, blind people dream more an auditory, tactile, and other sense modalities.People who lose their sight very early (before age five) apparently experience no visual imagery in their dreams. Visual imagery is variable for those who lose their sight between ages five and seven. People who lose their sight after age seven almost always have some level of visual imagery present in their dreams.
