i want to know if a blind person doesn’t matter if they were born blind or became blind later on in life, if they dream in color or not.
please fill me in on the details. Thank You

Wow, Lynn – that was quite rude. I’m certain you don’t speak for all blind people when you say “none of their business”.

I am blind. I am fascinated by what sighted people believe about us. It’s hilarious how they try to get “inside information” about things that are none of their business.

By the way, the 1975 text on the psychology of blindness is completely outdated. Don’t use it for anything that matters.

Someday, no doubt, our carbon-based lifeforms will be replaced by silicon-based life forms, and I wonder if they will dream. Which brings up another question: at what evolutionary stage did dreaming first appear. So far as I know, there is evidence (based on REM sleep) of dreaming only in mammals and birds. But this may be dated info.

On a similar note, I have spent a lot of time wondering what a deaf person’s inner monologue was like. Anybody have any insights?

Karen-

I do the same thing. Heck, I’ve had credits roll at the end of some of my dreams.

I’ve often wondered about this… also do deaf people hear anything in their dreams?

I used to be able to control my dreams. I would rewind them in an attempt to change outcomes. It played backwards in my dream just like a video tape rewinding, static and everything.

Sometimes I had to rewind multiple times to change the dream. Other times only once. I specifically remember being very aggitated when I had to rewind multiple times. It was always as if I was sleeping, and watching myself dream at the same time.

I rarely do this any more.

And yes, I am a control freak.

I do have dreams that are all auditory though. It is like watching a blank screen and I only hear the action. I am not visually impaired.
