Is it possible? ## Answers ### Answer by ASHUTOSH PANDEY **Can a Blind man have a dream?** **No, if a man who is born blind cannot visualize a dream**. As he has no understanding of the real and live world so no pictures would form in his mind. Before discussing this topic we must briefly know about the concept of Dream. **Science says that Dreams are mere electric brain pulses that pull random thoughts and images from our memories. The story isis created after people wake up.** Dream are human feelings that can be understood as a state of consciousness characterized by sensory-cognitive and emotional occurrences while sleeping. A man born blind do not imagine anything in his brain for him the world is like a blank black film running cursorily.![Can a person born blind see in their dreams?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/cc4392ed-53ee-4008-a09a-dc7634c617e8/images/dc45a6b8-2098-4504-b9ab-c4758fb24302.jpg) **Louis Braille, a 12-year-old boy who himself was blind changed the reading and writing habits of blind men forever in 1829. Braille who was on 4 January 1809 became blind by accident when he was just 3 years old**. The mechanism which Louis studied at Paris blind school could not satisfy the needs. Therefore he mechanized a format of his own which is largely accepted in all the countries of the world. But the next part of the answer is a man who gradually gets blind due to some illness or gradually getting older can dream as the pictures and concept which etched in their mind is stored there for a long time. But those blind people who lose their sight later in life and can dream visually. **Danish researches in 2014 found that as time passes, a blind person gradually stops dreaming visually.** --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/47517/can-a-person-born-blind-see-in-their-dreams Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
