Something that has always had me curious. I met a blind person today who had never had sight before. I've always wanted to ask this question but forgot.
What do blind people dream? I'm not talking about the people who had sight prior to going blind, but the people who never had sight before with which to base any visual dreams on. Can they dream in color if they have never seen color? Can they dream about flying through the clouds if the've never seen clouds? Stuff like that. Do they dream in feelings? Do they dream in smells? How does that work?
I'm assuming that there aren't many blind people who read this forum. Is there anyone out there who's had this discussion with a lifetime blind person before?
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be insensitive to blind people and I apologize if anyone takes this post that way.
