Haha see.. You have no answer.
This question will get you thinking and I am pretty sure you will ask other people after you see the question.
How does a blind person know when to stop wiping?
When they hear the sound of magpies hitting the glass from the other side ... or weren't we talking about windows?
Haha.
But now you will rack your brain trying to figure it out.
Is this a Fact? and that is a good question.

Quick answer - Yes they dream, but not visually if blind from birth or a very early age.

You didn't read my question correctly. lol I didn't ask if they dreamed or not; I asked what exactly do they dream about? I've seen some answers as sounds, but how would that seem in a dream?

A very good friend of our family was born with no eyes. She has one partial socket, empty, and the other side is closed over with flesh.
She's 77 years old this year, and an amazing person, who I respect more than 99% of the people I have met in my life.
Over the years it has always been tempting to ask her about dreams, what she "sees" as she reads her books with her fingers, and her impressions of what the world appears to be to her.
I've never asked her any of those things, but when we discuss other things, her remarks sound special to me, uncluttered, pure.. I have always had a hard time coming up with the right words for the ways she expresses herself.
The OP is a mundane, somewhat silly, but valid query.. our friend has addressed the issue by telling us once, while laughing, that "other senses come into play on all important things in life."

This lady seems very interesting.
I started the thread expecting no real answer. I was asked this question once and it just blew my mind because I did not have an answer. Later on I thought about it some more coming up with no logical solution and ended up asking family members and friends to get their opinion and mess with there brain.
As for the dream thing I believe our dreams consist of memories merged with one's imagination. I believe since a blind person can not see things they must have an outstanding imagination. Therefore blind people probably dream about the same stuff we do but with a more epicness (not sure if that is a word but oh well).
Just because they can't see something it doesn't mean that it's not there. In fact blind people can see what others can't. A blind person can not see another person however they can see the person for who they really are. And with that they can imagine what this person looks like. It may not be correct but it would essentially be who the person really is.
