According to Vision Scientist, Joyce Schenkein, in order to have a visual dream, one must first close his eyes before sleep to experience a visual dream. A. Valvo (1971) researched that people who were born with normal vision but lost their sight due to accidents may also experience a dream. In such injuries, only the lenses of the eyes are damaged, such as corneal loss, without affecting deeper sensory structures in the brain.

He noticed that the people kept dreaming of visual images for a period of time after the blinding incident. Nevertheless, the dream became more visual and auditory over long periods (Valvo’s subjects had been blind for twenty years). So as a conclusion blind people can know their dream as normal people when they sleep.
