Bree's question about deaf people thinking reminded me of something which I have always wondered about. As a sighted person, when I am asleep I can "see" things in my dreams, even though I am lying in a dark room with my eyes closed. What about a person who was born blind and has never seen anything? Do they have dreams with visual images? And what of someone who became blind in later life? Do they still "see" things when dreaming, even though they can't see any more with their eyes?
