I imagine they see whatever abstractions their mind makes up to define the world around them. Just like our dreams. :)

You say tomato, I say potato. I promised I wouldn't without the dressing. As you can see though, plenty of dressing was used. p.s. Your sincerity meter is on high... which worries me... regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

I read this a loooong time ago, so I can't quote the source. But, if they are born blind then they dream in sounds. If the subconscious has no idea of how to see, then it cannot produce images when you sleep. Jeremy Falcon

Perhaps blind people do "see" things in their sleep its just that between blind and sighted people there is a lack of a common frame of reference to be able to adequately describe it. As Spock replied to McCoy in Star Trek IV :rolleyes: that for McCoy to discuss death with him then McCoy would have had to have died as well. :doh: - But that's probably just irrelevant nonsense. --Colin Mackay--

Right. If blind people did "see" in their dreams, it would be right up there with an English-only speaker dreaming in Chinese. John
