I think your question is not about whether a person born blind can dream, but rather if a person born blind can SEE in their dreams.
The answer, simply put, appears to be "no." When people born blind were questioned about what they "see" in dreams in several studies, their answers indicate that the experience of vision first is needed before it can be translated into a dream. Those blind for a lifetime instead experience other keenly developed senses in their dreams--i.e., the sensation of moving around, the emotion of joy, etc.
Dream images of the blind instead seem to be reconstructions of objects based on sensory input such as touch and sound, just as occurs in waking life. But can these images be accurately described as visual? Can an object be recreated in detail if the dreamer has in fact never experienced seeing it?

Why don't you ask a person that was born blind. Everybody dreams but not everyone remembers their dreams. I can't imagine only dreaming in sounds. I wonder if their nightmares have to do with a lot of loud and scary noises.

Dreaming while asleep does not require sight for anyone.
On the other hand, day-dreaming involves the mind wandering wherever... That too, does not necessitate the ability to see with the eye but rather with one's thoughts.

I guess you probably would be able to, but you might dream noises and feelings instead of visuallizing things.
