I hope i don't offend anyone with this questions but if a person was born blind what do they dream about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dreams if blind: Dreams are constructed from the brain's attempt to create a reality based upon normal experience. A blind person from birth has well developed hearing, touch, smell, etc. And will construct a dream from these components. Oliver sachs has some good discussion about these aspects of brain function.
