Everyone dreams (blind people included) and in general, people'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.

Seeing people dream based on visual information. Blind people dream based on sensual or imaginary information.

Of course they do, it's your imagination and mind that enables you to dream. When your sleeping you have your eyes closed, and you can't see anything. Just like being blind.
Anyone can dream.
