A blind person's dream experience is similar to their waking experience. For those that were blind from birth, they do not have a lot of visual stimuli to draw on for their dreams, so they have dreams that are primarily auditory, tactile or even involve taste and smell. People who lose their sight very early (before age five) apparently experience no visual imagery in their dreams. Visual imagery is a variable for those who lose their sight between ages five and seven. People who lose their sight after age seven almost always have some level of visual imagery present in their dreams. They've done extensive studies and have also found that REM sleep is disturbed (not absent) in blind people, so they may actually dream less.

According to Reader's Digest, blind people can see dreams... but only a fuzzy version of their dreams.

it depends... If they have been blind their whole life then they cant picture anything.. thus they hear or smell or feel etc. in their dreams. If they could at one point see normally then all their past visions could be seen in dreams.

they can see things in their head, but think about if they have never seen a thing in their life, how can they possibly picture "something" they visual things in their mind, but cannot comprehend it. the way other people can

they cant actually "see" things in their dreams. or maybe they can using there senses and creating wat they think are the features of this world. although, i dont think there will be any color in it.
