Hopefully this doesn’t offend anyone and its something of an assumption that blind people do have dreams but surely the lack of sight doesn’t stop someone’s brain from being able to hallucinate?

    Blind people can do complex math, like calculus, and write code. I’d think they have some kind of logical representation of abstract concepts. I’ve had dreams like that where everything was dark and it was just these abstract concepts.

    Also you can hear sounds in your dreams right?

        Don’t you talk to characters in your dreams? I do it all the time.

        In fact I’d think it was weird if you didn’t do that. Or am I the weird one?

          I talk to people in my dreams all the time. Normally they want to kill me, though.

          I am very normal.

          I definitely have conversations in my dreams, but I don’t think I can actually hear them. It never even occurred to me until this conversation. I think it’s a telepathic link. I can’t think of any dreams where I hear any sound, with the exception of one vivid dream where I dreamt that the city near me got nuked, and I heard the explosion.
