Can blind people have visual dreams?
Whether they see visual imagery or not, depends on when they went blind. Blind people dream as they live in life just like sighted people do. They don?t see in dreams because they have no visual images to base their dreams on. Their dreams are rich with the senses from their world being primarily audio, emotional and sensory in nature. Interestingly blind people do not seem to show much eye movement in REM sleep. People who went blind later on in life appear to be able to dream visually, having experienced at some point in their life the visual images of the world around them. Even though sighted and blind people dream differently, Many studies seem to suggest that all our dreams share the same narrative style.
