    I suggest the brain would only be able to produce visions that it has 'seen'.

    My thoughts are that someone who has been completely blind since birth would only have auditory dreams. If they were having dreams with visions it would suggest something extraordinary.

    IIRC people who are born blind do still dream, but they dream without seeing things.

    yes i would think that too , however it would be interesting to find out otherwise

    i watched a documentary about a girl (fully sighted) , her parents took her on holiday and she instinctively knew what was around every corner in the town , despite having never been ,,,,,,,,,, now obviously it could be all a con , but one theory was that memories can subconsciously be implanted in our dna from our parents/grandparents etc .

    ever get that dey ja vu feeling yourself sometimes ?


    hence why im asking if blind from birth people dream any images ,,,,,, therefore proving a link from your dna tree.
