Have you ever wondered how individuals who are blind experience dreams? Studies suggest that people born blind don’t “see” in their dreams but instead rely on other senses, such as hearing and touch. Those who become blind later in life may still dream in visual images for some time. Let’s explore how people with blindness or vision impairment experience the dream world differently from sighted individuals.


I’ve always been curious about how blind people experience dreams. It must be such a different experience if they’re relying on senses like touch and sound instead of sight.

It’s fascinating that people born blind don’t “see” in their dreams but still dream vividly with other senses. I wonder if their dreams feel as immersive as ours do visually.

This is such a unique topic! I’ve read that people who become blind later in life still see in their dreams for a while, but eventually, those visuals fade.
