He can call himself lucky for being born blind, instead of having experienced how it feels to see and then become blind.
Ofcourse he isn't that lucky afterall: he's still blind

You can still dream. Its not like you physically "see" what you dream, dreams are just interpretations of our sub-conscious. Though with that said if he cant see he wouldn't be able to produce images in his sub-conscious...
Maybe he just hears sounds?
good thread is good.

Not sure,but you don't need eyesight to dream,the only physical manifestation of a dream might be R.E.M movement. But like i said,i am not to sure about that..

Most likely they dream of real feelings, pain, relaxation as in when getting a massage, dizziness, or feelings like those you have in a rollercoaster/airplane.
I don't know if everything in their dreams remains black though, or whatever "colour" it is they normally see.

Even if they cant see colour, but they can feel the shape of an object (with hands), no? So using imagination, they can construct their own world in black and white?

You don't need eyes to dream, all you need is imagination.

Correct.
He might not dream about physical things we might encounter on a daily basis, perhaps he just dreams about various shapes and sizes, or about objects his imagination created from hearing sounds.

Found that quote from a page..
I've been totally blind since birth. I don't see in my dreams, but I know what's happening in them the same way as I know what's happening around me when I'm awake. Through my other senses.
If you mean the physical appearence of someone then I can tell how tall they are, or how big/small they are by listening to them and. I concentrate a lot more on what a person is like though instead of what they look like. Looks doesn't matter. It's what the person is like on the inside that really counts.
Of course when you get close enough to someone you come into contact with their bodies and can tell a lot more about how they look by touching them. They can also describe how they look or someone else can.

for a blind person....
but yeah, not being able to see probably just means you have a more vivid imagination....
