The Dreams of the Blind
small text
large text
Have you ever wondered how blind people dream? Well, if their blindness began at birth, or in early childhood, they dream without visual images. Instead, their dreams are full of sounds, emotional sensations and the sense of touch. In REM phase sleep, blind people show little or no rapid eye movement. The longer they've been blind, the fewer the movements.
