[Blindtlk] Here I come with another weird question about dreams and such.

Wed May 18 23:21:07 UTC 2016

	Even though I am totally blind, I do see in my dreams; however, I was once sighted. What is amusing to me (and my wife has the same dream experiences) is that I do things in my dreams I cannot do as a blind person, like drive and, actually, see in vivid colors. It's like I combine both my sighted and blind experiences into my dream world. I even talk about being blind in my dreams, yet see what might be described as 20;20!

Nope, still blind, even in my dreams. I can’t even dream of seeing, lol. I just have cognition of what’s happening if the happenings are visual in nature.

Just goes to prove each person's reality is controled and shaped by their perceptions and common reality only happens to the extent people communicate and through that communication build common bridges of reality.

And, I feel today like I have my own understanding of the world, I see, just not with the empty holes on my face. color, if only in literary terms.. Remember, my brain, following those infantile ocular images, remembers seeing, albeit not exactly consciously. Does that make sense? My dreams, then, reflect waking, so no ocular input to speak of because normally there is no such light, ya dig?

When you go to sleep at night and dream, be it a nightmare, or just your ordinary average dream, either/or, are you still totally blind, or have you ever been able to see in your dreams?  Maybe even this might be a bit on the more paranormal side of things, and I'm not saying that I believe in this, or that I don't, but for those who do believe in astral projection and may have either done, or thought in their way of thinking, have done it, could you see, then?
