I have no idea, but it's a very interesting question.

This is a good question. I haven't thought about this before. Studies show that unborn babies also experience dreams while being still in the womb. They dream of everyday sounds they can hear through the placenta. I guess that's what blind people dream about too. Sounds.

Of course they dream. Dreams occur in the brain, which I am pretty sure blind people still have. What do they dream about, why don't you ask a blind person?

I'm sure they dream. Depending on when they became blind, I think the answer may be different. However, I wonder if they form pictures in their head from touch.

blind people dream in sounds instead of visions.
