Blind people of reddit, what are your dreams like?

1. In case there aren't many blind people on, here's an answer from another ask reddit thread: > It depends on how blind we are and when we became blind. > All of my dreams are just auditory. People who have had sight at one point in their lives usually have normal dreams. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/2r9edq/blind_people_of_reddit_what_are_your_dreams_like/cndr0z6

2. I mean I'm legally blind without my glasses so sometimes I have dreams where I lose my glasses and can't see shit. Everything is blurry and someone is trying to kill me Edit: not legally blind without them as some people have pointed out but just really awful at seeing

4. To provide a real answer to the question: I've albinism and while I'm not blind, I do have severe problems regarding my eyesight. While I can't speak for every blind or visually impaired person, I can however share my own experience to, hopefully, shed some light on this matter. First of all, while I don't know if this is the same for every visually impaired person, I lack a [mind's eye](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_image); I cannot construct a mental image. For some people this is an alien concept and they are not able to grap what this entails, so I'll provide an example and try my best at covering details if anyone has any questions. Imagine this: "nothing". What do you "see"? Nothing, right? There's no sound, no scenery, no smell, nothing. There is nothing. You can't actually imagine nothing, can you? However, you do know you're thinking of nothing. Well, that's exactly what it means to be unable to construct mental images. You don't "see" anything but you "know" what you're thinking of. You can grasp the concept but have no "clear image of what it might be". Now this also means I lack images in my dreams. However, I do know what I'm dreaming about, because my brain is able to graps the concepts the same way you're able to grasp the concept of nothingness.

7. Ha, one of my first ever posts on AskReddit was "Do blind people use reddit". To say the least, I got some handy information about how they use computers and in essence it involves a machine that transcribes the page to audio. Really neat stuff.
