If the blind person has never been able to see they dream about sounds and textures. But if they have been able to see before, they may dream about things they have seen plus sounds and textures.

Yes, blind people do dream. What they see in their dreams depends on how much they could ever see. If someone has been totally blind since birth, they only have auditory dreams. If someone has had a measure of sight, then that person dreams with that measure of sight.

I'm not sure but if they have their other senses they may be able to dream about all the same stuff.
Some people that can see are blind.

in all seriousness my uncle is blind. He tells me that his dreams include the most vivid colors hes ever imagined. "Big Putt" as I call him is a great man so I have no reason to believe that he would lie to me. One dream that he tells me most about is him playing in a field of snow and grass chasing "a rainbow of wings on somesort of insect" (butterflies) and "long tailed insects that fly much faster and hover effortlessly over the hills" (dragonflies). Hes been blind since he was a child so of these things ive actually had to describe what they are. Mostt of these dreams (if not all) are always emotional to him to the point of tears.

People dream in the same way that they experiance their surroundings, so, the dreams of a disabled person would be the same as our dreams, sans the sense or senses they are lacking, depending on how long they have been disabled...

Well, just be cause your are blind in your conscious mind, you're not exactly blind in you sub-conscious. They have good dreams like sighted people

i've heard of people dreaming in sentences, people who are into language/words. so maybe it's not too far-fetched to believe blind people dream in braille?

They can dream as we do, but there is no color also they can dream about only things that they alredy toched and felt.

I could only imagine euphoric sounds and sensations of touch and smell.

how do you expect a blind person to read your question?
