What Do Blind People See in Their Dreams?

Hi, P-assengers! In everyday life, we certainly never escape the activity of dreaming while sleeping. We can have good dreams, bad dreams, dreams of those around us, of those we care about. Dreams are so attached to our lives that some people interpret their dreams and believe that what they dreamt has an impact on their lives. But what about blind people? What do they see in their dreams?

Some blind people lose the ability to see since they were born. Some lose sight after living and have seen. Blind people who are blind from birth have no knowledge of how things look. Even though they have described various objects, colors, and so on, they still have no picture of the related entity. So for the case of people who are blind from birth, usually they only tend to feel dreams through sound, touch, smell, and taste. But according to research through brain scans, there is still a slight chance that people born blind can still see visuals in their dreams. However, because they have no knowledge of how something looks, they tend to be unaware of it and not know what they saw in a dream.

In the following case, people who are blind later when they are over five years old could still see visuals from their dreams. Because even though the eyes can no longer see, the results of the vision stored in the brain before they lose their ability to see are still stored in their brain so that they still see visuals in their dreams. Although not as intensively as other people. 

However, according to research, what blind people dream is similar to ordinary people. They dream about animals (often their service dogs), personal success or failure, and even about food or food.

Thus the article is about what blind people see when dreaming. For P-assengers, don’t forget to always be grateful for God’s blessings! Thank you for reading.

Look forward to the following article!
