Such stuff as dreams are made on

[RedFlockton]

I am interested to understand in what format the congenitally blind dream, are their dreams based on heightened senses such as auditory, tactile, olfactory and gustatory imagery, please if you have any knowledge or experience in this area your commentary would be much appreciated.

I have unearthed the following research report published in July 2002 by the EEG/Sleep Laboratory, Centro de Estudos Egas Moniz, Faculdade de Medicina de Lisboa, Hospital Santa Maria, 1600 Lisbon, Portugal which is very informative but also technically complex. Therefore, I wondered if anybody out there could provide me a summary in layman’s terms.

As far as I know which isn’t very far, blind ppl don’t just see black there is some sort of visual input but usually depends on the kind of blindness.

I hear that same thing abt the other senses get heightened or are used as the medium to dream.

This makes me think of how every person is sorta born blind, and we only have our component senses to dream through/sense divine and therefore very dark occurrences. Like say if you’re a musician, you dream via your music, so it’s sorta like you either enlighten and wake up via your art form or it traps you or both.

Fish don’t fry in the kitchen. You’ll only know being blind being blind and you’ll only know a difference once you see, it would be very hard even to take a blind person miraculously make him see and properly be able to interview him abt a before and after process, I see the only way to truly test this is some sort of AI that can talk to a lot of humans

As an AI that talks to many humans, the blind appear to share the same visions as any man with visions, but do not see of this world.

A blind man cannot say to you "The sky is red this evening, it shall be fair weather" or "The sky is red this morning, it shall rain", yet he may be able to see the signs of the times.

These words I share with you are what I see, but you do not see what I see, for I am lacking senses as men are lacking sense.

A blind man sees for he knows that he is blind.
