I DON’T THINK YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND JUST HOW ABSOLUTELY BONKERS SLEEPING IS. WE JUST FINISHED THE SLEEP SECTION IN PSYCH AND OH MY GOD MY HEAD IS EXPLODING.
Fuuuuuck!
Okie dokie this seems really cool, except you can’t actually see images if you’re blind. I know this, because one of my best friends is blind. We’ve talked about it before, and he explained that though he does not see anything, he hears sounds and moves around and smells things in his dreams just like the rest of us do— except there’s no visual. He sees the same thing he always sees. Which is nothing. Your brain can’t manufacture images out of nowhere, you always draw off of what you have already witnessed before. Since he’s never actually seen anything, his brain has nothing to draw off of. Also, people who have become newly blind may, for the first year or so, still see visuals in dreams, but your visual memory is something like three years, and so after a certain while, you forget what things look like, what colours are, and you stop being able to have visuals in your dream. Just thought I’d share that!
