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?

    Not all blind people are fully blind, and not all fully blind people were born blind.

    Some people who became blind still see in their dreams while others claim to have stopped seeing in their dreams as well.

      Not only that, but most blind people can “see” changes in light, meaning they have at least observe in the form of a single pixel.

        “Single pixel” is an interesting way of putting it.

        That comment made me imagine a bunch of people sitting in a movie theater, watching a film that consists of nothing but a giant square that keeps changing colors and brightness, with the soundtrack from another film. The film is called “Blindness Simulator.”
