Do blind people dream? what do they see?

People who are blind do dream. If they were not blind at birth, and perhaps lost their age even after their childhood, what they "see" in those dreams may be just a fragment of a memory. If they've been blind from birth, they may remember things in any sensory way they experienced them.
Other than that, they have the same dreams--and nightmares--that everyone else has.

M$Dreams are a product of your subconscious, but based on your imagination and experiences. So you do not need working eyes or even any eyes to dream.
As dreams are based on what you have seen and what you have experienced, people that have been blind for their whole life may dream weird things, based on their imagination ob objects.
Hope this helps.

yeah! the person blind from birth can dream...some patterns of light!
I don't know that persons who have been blind their entire lives actually dream patterns of light because they've never seen light.
Now, on the other hand, I have had neurosurgery (interventional neuroradiology) several times--they keep you awake. They'd say, "OK, we're going to go ahead with the dye. You'll feel warm and you'll see lightning." They weren't kidding.
Sure enough, my head felt like it was in a microwave and with my eyes closed, I definitely perceived what I knew to be lightning. I was actually seeing all of the veins and arteries in my brain a split-second before the doctors & nurses standing around me did on screens in front of them. The neuroradiologu suite looks exactly as you see here--almost like a television station's control room. They're doing the exact same procedure at another hospital (this is not me pictured).
