What do blind people dream?

Sorry if this sounds insensitive, but I was thinking about it the other day. If a person is blind from birth, do they see images or just dream in the way they see the world through sounds, feelings,etc? And how different is it from some one who was able to see at some point? Thanks

    A person who is blind from birth, will have dreams that are made up by only the senses they already have. They can not see in their dreams. However, people who have lost their sight during their lives, can still be able to see in their dreams.

    I once asked a blind man about this, and he said that his dreams are similar to his waking experiences, just as all people's dreams are. He dreams of sounds, movements, sensations, etc. They dream the way they see the world.
