Blind people do not see images in their dreams

Previously, a study has shown that before the invention of color television, people only saw a single black and white in their dreams. But now scientists also ask a question whether people who are unable to see images when they sleep, what they see and their dreams are as clear as normal people.

For those with normal vision, dreaming is an intense vision activity. Typical dream states include brilliant scenes, redrawing many of our activities during the day and many related events. Hearing stimulation plays a small role, and other senses such as the ability to recognize odor and taste are almost inactive.

But studies conducted by a psychologist at Hartford University show that blind people lose the ability to fully perceive images depending on when in life they lose sense of light. People born without the ability to look at all activities of life cannot have visual images in dreams. But they develop strong sense of smell and taste. And their dreams are stronger in their ability to anticipate the risks associated with their travel or travel. Perhaps it is a reflection of things to daily life, seeking safety in the way they go everyday.

Although the experiences of each individual are different, researchers say those who are blind before age 5 rarely see clear images in dreams. But people with visual impairment after age 5 still have the ability to see colors and people clearly in dreams.
