First, by no means all "blind" people are unable to see. Second, only those who have been totally blind from birth have never had an experience which involved the optic nerves.
Since dreaming involves memory of past experiences, whether to do with sight, sound, touch, emotion or whatever, anybody will dream with the senses that they commonly use in waking life.
In a way, what you are asking is 'do blind people see?' and the answer is 'Yes, they do, but if you were to transfer what they experience to you, you probably would make little sense out of it.'

I read an interview with Stevie wonder who said he dreamed in sounds..and I also read that Ray Charles..who had sight for a little while...dreamed of the things he saw as a child..and sounds of things he had not seen...

This has been asked MANY times before.
Do a "search for questions:" next time.
