Do blind people dream??
In our Oliver Sacks reading assignment we read about a colorblind painter. He lost his color recognition after having had expert knowledge on the subject. This made him all the more uncomfortable and frusturated.
In the narrative, the patient with the leison claims that he could not even imagine color, dream it or recall it. Apparently, before the accident, he used to rub his eyes and see great colors. The patient claims that post the accident, even that feature was disengaged.
To me it looked like this man lost the concept of color from his mind.
