I dont think its that simple,they still dont know how it sounds,and what do blind people dream about?I mean they never saw a chair,sky,sea,car,etc...

Nice questions

[Solace]

People born deaf think in sign languages, it's visual thoughts and since they're fluent with that it isn't much different thinking for them.

People born blind dream without visuals, it's only audio of what they hear around them.

[Mr. Chambers]

say chair....and what happens...you imagine a picture of a chair.......same for deaf people

[Ella]

lol what ? u dont need ears to think

and blind ppl can dream.. its called imagination

[Solace]

say chair....and what happens...you imagine a picture of a chair.......same for deaf people

I'm probably reading that sentence wrong but how could a deaf person hear someone say chair

we don't think in words...we communicate with words....we think with imagery, but we link certain words with pictures.....1 life

Are you under the assumption that they were born deaf? Then who knows. But if they had live a decent amount of life, maybe to their mid teens, then they'd obviously think in whatever language they grew up in.


Also, blind people have dreams because you don't use your eyes to dream considering your sleeping

I dont think you would think in a language if you were born deaf.. you wouldnt know what it sounds like at all so you couldnt even start to think it.. And if you were born completely blind what would you see in a dream? Your mind has never seen anything so it would be black

No. Blind people do have dreams. Ever hear of imagination? Plus it's a given fact that blind people have stronger sensing ability than those who aren't. And what are the 5 senses? Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. When you touch something with your eyes closed, you imagine what it looks like because of it's shape and form. Now this brings us to your other statement, about them not being able to think, which was ignorant as hell. If you can imagine what you're touching, hearing, seeing, smelling or tasting, then you're thinking about what you're touching, hearing, seeing, smelling AND tasting.

If someone can't see, then they can hear - which allows them to hear languages.
If someone can't hear, then they can see - which allows them to read languages.
If someone can't see nor hear, then they will still think, just like babies think/talk without a language.

You think before you do anything, that's why we have brains you fucking genius. And as long as you have a brain, no matter what your body lacks, as long as you're not brain damaged, you think and dream, in what language? who gives a shit.
