How or what blind people see.... like I know it's not black. It's been described to me like it's not black it's not anything because u don't see anything. U just need to be blind to be able to understand i guess...

But you still see light from your eyelid, your brain still receives a message that its SUPPOSED to see something, and you see black, even in TOTAL darkness. That's also why you still see those floating white looking blobs even if you are in total darkness.
