It depends on what kind of blindness they have. If they are born blind because of a problem with the areas of the brain that control sight, they will not have any sort of visual images in their dreams. Their brain cannot make the images if those areas are damaged.
If they are born blind because of a problem with thier eye or visual nerve, they may get "flashes" from the visual areas of the brain when random activity fires across them during sleep. But, they won't know what it is, and very little is remembered from most dreaming, anyway. They may even perceive, in their dream, that the "flash" is from a different sense that they DO have images and vocabulary for (sound, touch, taste, smell). They won't have any memories to pull on of real visual images. So even though they may "see" because of dream activity in that area of the brain, it isn't a "real" experience in thier dream.
Someone who was born with sight, and loses their vision later, WILL have dreams with visual images, because they have the memory to pull on, and images attached to language so that they can understand and remember.

nope not at all. cause my research/experiments say, Human can only imagine experiences that are stored in their memmory and experience are related to our five known senses which are able to see, hear, speak, taste and touch.
ppl who are born blind have cant picture world out side of us.
take this as an example, imagine a white building......
if u do u will see images of what u have saw in ur past which is in your memmory u can mismatch the immages to imagine further but u cant create newones.
