I was wondering what babies dream of, if they even dream. Before they have memories, and maybe when they're still in the womb, what do they dream of? If you die in your sleep, do you finish the dream you started?

Maybe they dream of their family or the things they love.

I think they would dream of the sounds they heard while still in the womb.
But i don't know if the part of the brain that makes you dream is already full grown then.

If you're talking about before they're born, then I wonder one thing. If they have never, ever seen anything, would they even be able to imagine pictures? And if not, could the same be said about someone who's been blind since birth?

Dream of their family in that those are the most common voices they'd hear. They would have no concept of love yet, as that is not a universal emotion and is actually learned. If I remember correctly, the three universal emotions are Happiness, Fear, and Sadness.

Who is to say a baby in the womb, or a blind man can't dream of image? Especially the blind man, while he may have a hard time picturing things correctly, have you heard of this thing called imagination? Perhaps they use their mind and 'create' a scene of how they would picture it... Someone describing something about this scene would most likely help.

I do not think babies dream while they are in the womb, but I am sure when they come out they dream of things. But what they dream of is impossible to tell.
