if they can see in their dreams, how they wish they're always sleeping for them to see the beauty and colors of the world. in that case, there's no blind in this world.. everybody is capable to see..
i am just curious that's why i asked...

I would think it would be very difficult to visualize something you haven't seen, but blind people may dream they have vision and may "see" things as they think they would appear.
The basic answer to your question is yes, they do dream. How those dreams appear or seem to them is something I think would greatly vary from one person to another.

Very interesting question. I'm not quite sure on the true answer. But in my opinion, I believe that blind people do dream. I don't think they would be necessarily blind in their dream. They will definitely have unique visual images compared to those who can actually see. But you never know, blind people could perhaps dream exactly like the eyes of ours and see the world as how we see it.

Good question, one that I can’t pass. Amused with what people
here said, now is my turn to offer a view. Sure, blind people do
have dreams; their brain functions are still normal. But can they
‘see’ in their dreams? I think it is quite possible. Like I dream
that I was Bill Gates when actually I am not, the imagination of
blind people hoping that they can see can also come into play
during their dreams.

I know a blind guy but I've never asked him this before. I assume they dream in sound rather than anything visual. Of course if it was someone that used to see... then they probably dream like the rest of us.

No, someone's dreams are kind of like their sub-concious dumping everthing that it's been doing and sifting through your life. When your dreaming, your mind is resting, and your dreams are a kind of entertainment of sorts. At least i think... so a blind person may be able to see, but the world would just look like they think it looks.

Well, since they're only blind and not dead, of course they dream. If you can live your life then you can dream can't you? I suppose they experience dreams in the same way they live, just like you do. They just don't visualize.

Dreams are our brains way of processing information we recieve during our awake time. We have 5 senses, sight is only one of them.
Blind people cannot see in dreams because their brain does not know what sight is.
But they can have dreams just as strong as a sighted person but using different senses, for instance, we 'see' a table, a blind person 'feels' its. therefore they know in a dream that they are 'seeing' a table through their fingers, they also have much stronger senses of smell and hearing than us, and for them these senses play a part of their dreams.

Of course they dream. Dreams are about preceptions and each person dreams differently. Some may be blind and some may not be.
