    Do blind people dream? If so, do they dream sounds, or does their mind make up figures according to touch?

    As a woman who went blind at the age of 23, I know I dream – I dream the same way as I did before losing my sight – with ‘pictures.’ I actually see what I am dreaming about – the way I remember things looking, and much the same way I dreamed before losing my sight. I am not sure if this would be the same as someone who is blind from birth, as they don’t really know what things look like because they have never seen the items. I, however, make a concentrated effort not to forget the sight of things I hold dearest to me – such as the face of my little boy, and the way the snow looks on a crisp December morning.
