Do blind people dream?

Question

It isn't meant to be a rude question or anything. I've just been wondering since the 7th grade. Some one once told me that they do, but if they do, what do they dream about? They don't know what anything looks like & this is the part that confuses me...

Yes, blind people do dream.  Blind people dream like everyone else, only without pictures.  Their dreams are auditory dreams.  They can also feel, touch, and smell, when they dream.  If they had sight before going blind, they dream about things that they saw before going blind.  Hope this answers your question.

Why wouldnt they? A child that hasnt been born yet dreams. I guess they may dream about what they think things may look like in a dream just like anyone else has, or things they saw before they went blind. But yes they do dream...

I think they do dream, although I have never asked a blind person if they dream.  They probably don't have dreams as realistic and clear as we do, but they might see images based on their senses of touch and sound.  Babies in the womb dream- it's been proven, and they haven't seen anything either.  I wonder what babies dream about? Now that's a question...

Imagination is pure that.  So yes they dream, and since they dont have sight they probably just imagine things as the way they are being described

depends if they were born blind or not..im sure that those who became blind during this life can dream as for those born blind, i highly doubt it...
