What was the last dream you had?
Was it of you on a beach with cinnamon-colored sand and a bright pink cocktail in your hand?
As it turns out, our vision isn’t the only thing contributing to our dreams.
In addition, the subjects also reported experiencing visual imagery in their dreams.
But not all experts agree on how blind people dream.
On the other hand, other experts strongly believe that people born blind can have visual sensations while sleeping.
Nevertheless, they agree that there’s likely significantly less imagery in their dreams than in a sighted person.
They were also not as likely to have dreams about violet encounters but had more dreams about animals.
A blind person’s dream will be more like a Monet painting.
Blind individuals have more nightmares
Individuals who lost their sight in childhood are a different story.
Unsurprisingly, kids who lost their vision after seven experienced more visual dreams.
Both age groups will likely have more sensory elements incorporated into their dreams.
Likewise, blind people can dream of people and places they saw before becoming blind and fabricate their own.
And blind people apparently experience more threatening or dangerous situations during the day than people with normal sight."
