How blind people dream is determined by the age at which they lost their sight. Studies have found that those who lose their sight before the age of about five will experience no visual imagery in their dreams, but those who lose it later might have visual dreams throughout their lives, though, over time, these tend to be replaced by dreams featuring the dominant senses. Those with non-visual dreams experience them through the same sensory signals that they would when awake. In one example, a woman describes being at a table a posh restaurant. She could 'feel' the table (although she'd never seen a table, she could identify one by touch) and could tell from the sounds - hushed voices, carpeted floor - that it was a classy joint.
