[Blindtlk] Middle School Student Doing Paper on Blind People'sDreams

[Jeffrey Thompson]

Hello,
this is interesting and yet odd. Totally Blind dreams and not Partial 
Dreams? To think that my dreams as a former sighted person and now, let's 
say, a Partial,would be expectedly understood and not questioned. Not ever 
seeing doesn't exclude one from episodes or memories pulsating around in the 
subconscious mind.
If ones eyes are closed during dreams then why would it change the premise 
of a dream? Maybe my dreams are just partially there.
Maybe the student could switch to what aspirations or dreams Blind people 
have and astonish those peering in as if we are so different and help change 
what it means to be Blind.
Jeff
