Nothing really diminishes, Rajesh. It is only reduced to being a grey areaof not being certain whether it was actually perceived or a figment of one's imagination. I can say for certain that it does not go away completely. I still use my history of years of visual back up when sighted to relate to things and events around me. if then, these experiences are somehow relived in my dreams, they are crystal clear and that, I think is largely due to the fact I've seen in the past.
The only diminishing comes with the memory of events before and after losing my sight. It's been such a long time that I sometimes have to check back whether a particular experience or event has occurred before or after losing my sight. In fact some events like having watched a particular movie fades into that grey area of whether it was before or after the sight loss. Here too, maybe a little out of context, the relating to a film with persons I've seen remains etched in the mind vis a vis the newer ones where the actors are not ones I've seen unless the impact of the movie is that strong. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 11:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Query regarding night's dreams of totally/born VI, & hearing /speech impaired. I wonder how clearly those who have lost sight late in life can have visual perceptions in dreams? Whether clarity diminishes with passage of time? because they don't have visual sensations now in their waking life? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kotian, H P Sent: Tuesday, January 24, 2012 10:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Query regarding night's dreams of totally/born VI, & hearing /speech impaired. Hi Bijal I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your awakened conscious state. What ever gives sensory inputs, those would be reflected in the dream state. Continuing with Vetri's comments, sexual experiences in dream would be triggered by biological factors like those of hormones, scent, thoughts etc. Interesting topic. Harish Kotian. -----Original Message----- From: bijal patel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 23 January 2012 23:11 To: accessindia Subject: [AI] Query regarding night's dreams of totally/born VI, & hearing /speech impaired. Dear friends, It's just my curiosity to know about dreams during night of totally and born blind as well as hearing/speech impaired person. How are the dreams of such persons who never see colours in life? Is there a dream of multi-coloured world? And what about dreams of h i/ and s i, who never hear voice? So please, explain. Friends, this query is based only for scientific level. Thanks. Bijal Patel.
