Do Blind People Dream?

I was wondering if blind people have dreams, because from what i know your dreams are a recollection of "visual" images gathered during your day or a few days and turned into a dream...any thoughts?

I would figure that they'd be able to see in their dreams, but wouldn't the images be more and more distorted over time? I mean, depending on when one becomes blind in their life, say, in <10 yrs old, wouldn't their memory of what things look like become more and more vague? That would mean that their idea of what people and things look like wouldn't necessarily be accurate in dreams.

Regardless, I believe that they should be able to see things visually. They're not actively gathering information from their eyes when they dream, so I don't see why it should be affected.

If you are blind from birth you cant see in your dreams since you dont know what sight is or what color is.. If you went blind then you know what sight and color is so you will always be able to dream in color... You cant have a dream about something you didnt see or have prior knowledge of, if you could that would mean that you have the ability to see into the future and thus free will does not exists.

This is what I've heard blind people say.

Human beings have way more than five senses.

You're right, one is humor and some don't have that sense.

If I were blind and someone asked me if I dream, I don't know whether I would laugh or smack them.
