Curiosity has a hold on me

Tagged:  •    •    •  

I've been pondering this over quite a bit lately and still haven't found myself with a distinct yes or no opinion. I tried bringing it up to a few peers, but they became just as perplexed as I have.

Do blind people have dreams?

In one case, no obviously. I mean come on, they are blind and physically unable to see. So why would their dreams be any different?

On the other hand, they can still dream. I'm sure we've all had dreams involving something we've never seen before so we wouldn't have any knowledge of it, if it even exists. So that brings me to the counterpoint, if we can see things in dreams we've never seen before, why can't blind people.

I talk to the two blind girls at my school from time to time because they're some friends' little sisters. And I haven't quite worked up the courage to ask them something like that. If I've already offended some of my friends with this obscure question, why wouldn't they be offended too?
