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

Thu May 19 12:23:45 UTC 2016

All of that is because in people's dreams it's their movie and they're 
the director of that movie.  Not all of us have yet got to that point 
where we can direct our dreams and I think the reason for that in the 
case of vision is that those with memory of any vision are very 
different from those with no memory of any vision.  I had read a message 
on one of the programming lists maybe 7 or 8 years ago to the effect 
blind windows programmers were more effective with memory of vision than 
those without.  This was a study finding with 400 participants from all 
classes of blindness done by R.N.I.B. where participants were taught to 
do windows programming and the study graded their ease or lack of ease 
of learning the material.

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!

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?

>>> but those of you who have no light perception or anything, and are 100 percent blind as a bat, I'm really curious.  This is something I've always wondered.  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?
