When you are blind you can only dream sounds as you have no capasity to know or imagine what other things colors and shapes look like.
It would be like if you wanted to imagine a color never ever seen that isnt green blue ect. A WHOLE NEW COLOR. You cant describe color to the blind. Although I would love to be able to, I feel bad for them.
But If I were blind I would dream sounds, the only thing I really know, that and feelings.
I saw something on Discovery channel (I think) that if the blind person was blind from birth, they don't have dreams where they SEE images -- they have auditory dreams, where they HEAR things.
One person that was interviewed had lost her sight was a very young child, and when she dreamed, she saw the faces of people she remembered seeing AS a child. Otherwise, it was all sound.
You answered your own question . You wouldn't know what everything is because you can't explain colour or objects to someone who has never seen them . They go by sound . Its like the myth of when you are blind you see black . You don't everything is grey. But have a star for an interesting question.
