Sounds in dreams... good question... i never notice... but i would probably say yes... because I am fortunate to have the ability to lipread and talk... I'm self-taught, tho  I never took speech therapy for how to speak.
Hummm... I don't hunt... I can, but just not something I want to do...

Syn:
Here's the Wiki article on deaf culture...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaf_culture
That explains things fairly well although it seems to focus more on the so-called 'core beliefs' and the overall positives and doesn't really talk about some of the more prevelant prejudices or any of the negatives within the community itself...
Being deaf is, in a way, a badge of honor according to the community and they enjoy the seperation. Much in the same way that other groups like blacks, christians, gays, etc all 'settle' within the confines of people of the same color, religion, whatever, so also do many deaf people.
I have a pretty drastic hearing 'disability' (not totally deaf) and my impression of the 'deaf culture' from my contact with it is predominately VERY negative... that's about as kind as I can be about it honestly...

Ahh... I do not think in sign... I think in words / English...
Thing is... I believe that I was raised different from other Deaf children. When i was young, i read alot of books from novels, comics, newspapers, and so on... That helped solidify my understanding of the English language. And I think that also helped me gain the ability to lipread / speak for myself.
Some Deaf people would not have the same understanding as I do. To me, that tends to mean that they were left behind and left to fend for themselves which happens often in public schools.

Interesting, so do you like see the words?
The way I describe thinking is I hear myself speak. But if you don't know what the sense of hearing is like I can't imagine you know what the words sound like. Then again if you can speak maybe you can.
