Blind Dreams?

[IDLEchild]

What color do blind people dream in?

Do they even dream at all?

What about those who have been blind from birth?...do they dream? Are their dreams just audible mumbo jumbo much like ours are audible and visual junk most of the time?

What about those who have been blinded at some point in their life? Do their dreams cease changing at some point and only repeat the same visual stimulus stored before loss of sight? Or do they just dream by piecing together stored visual stimulus from before to accomodate changing enviroment around which they become aware of through their hearing?

...and now the real whammy....what of those rare cases who are blind and deaf ala Helen Keller?

My brain hurts from thinking about it.

Maybe you could ask a blind person.

They'd have to dream, it's part of the human psyche. What forms & colors is an interesting question. Want to try the hardest question I've ever heard? Describe blue. (or any color)

That would seem to make the most sense....

Or listen to Tommy by The Who, Townsend had a pretty good guess.

Yellow is good, but I hate the taste of purple. :ill:

Lemon of course.

Lemon of course.

Or banana.

I know a guy, blind from birth. He says he dreams sounds and touch, but doesn't "see" anything (We talked about this years ago). His answer to the question about color was similar, how would he know.
