Yesterday during psychology, we were discussing on image, brain and things like that. Wal asked a random question which was, "Do blind people dream?". which got me thinking so i asked my psychology tutor, ia pun inda tahu. She tell me to find out. We were planning to questions them tapi entah, macam rude jua tu betanya "eh kamu orang buta ada mimpi kah?". lain jua tu kan di tanya. I finally got the chance to sit infront of my laptop and GOOGLE!!! Just incase you guys are wondering, heres what i found out...
I considered answering your question myself, but decided that you might prefer an answer straight from the source. So I passed your question on to my friend, Laurie, who has been blind since she was fairly young. Here’s what she had to say:
" Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone such as I, has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight. I still dream as though I can see, colors included. For people I’ve met since, their faces are just blurs or how I imagine they look. To me, someone like my mother looks forever 30. "
Thanks Laurie!
