Yes, blind people can dream. The rapid eye movement (REM) stage of sleep is when dreams typically occur. Dreams are a normal component of the sleeping process. Dreams are believed to be more closely linked to brain activity during sleep than visual experiences. Research has shown that blind persons tend to dream more frequently, more vividly, and possibly more frequently use other senses like hearing, touch, and smell. Blind persons can still experience the feelings, ideas, and experiences that come with dreaming, even though they may not be able to see images in their dreams. So even if someone is blind, they can still have vivid and insightful dreams.
