One of the most common questions asked of a blind person is, "what are your dreams like?"
I canot answer for all blind people, but for me, and what I've heard other blind folks say is that they experience dreams like they experience waking life.
when I'm awake I have light perception. I can see light around me, coming through windows and doors and from light fixtures, my computer screen ETC.
So, when I'm dreaming, I see light coming from the usual sources as they appear in my dreams. I also hear the voices, the echos and other appropriate sounds and spacial clews just as if I were awake.
I still have crazy dreams, flying, being in strange incongruous situations. I find myself having deep conversations with unidentifiable people in weird places, but I experience this the same way i would if I were awake.
