Dear Nitheen
thanks for the very interesting question
I have looked up various articles and I have somehow concluded that they dream and in three dimensions as the rest of sense is more stronger than us ( when person become blind the other sense will become more stronger) so they can draw pictures in three dimension in dreams so, blind people tend to “see” in their dreams, even though those who were blind at birth only have mixed noises as dreams. Those who are blind at birth don’t see “colored dreams”. For those who lost their eyesight for some reason, they too, have dreams. They are, in a way, lucky to have “colored dreams”. It is because they had the chance too see in color, unlike the ones who weren’t able to see at birth.
thanks again for this questions
Ahmed

what inspired you to become an scientist
Ahmed commented on :
Hi Mia,
thanks for this brilliant question
When I was a child, the science teacher told me you are intelligent and you will be a scientist and he encouraged me to love science. I think each one of us need a role model in his life to encourage him or her to success
what do you think?
thanks
Ahmed
James commented on :
Hi Mia,
I have a fairly standard story – I was interested in scientists in books when I was in primary school and then had a really great science and chemistry teacher in secondary school.
Francesca commented on :
Hi Mia, I have to say my mom. She is a scientist too and I got to see the lab where she was working since I was quite small. Found it fascinating! Also I was very lucky and I had very inspiring science teachers from primary school onwards.
