Do blind people see in their dreams and if so what do they see? (self.Blind)

totally blind from birth. I personally do not see, as i have no images in my mind that my brain could turn into dreams. However, for people who go blind later in life, some do, but some don't. it depends on residual images they remember.

Common question.

Not all blind people (actually very few) are completely blind from birth. If you have remaining sight or had sight in the past you may have visual dreams. If you are completely blind and always have been, your brain won't produce anything visual during sleep.

Totally blind, I see nothing. Not black, not darkness, absolutely nothing. I have no concept of black or darkness other than my imagination. I assume black/darkness can be compared to emptiness or just...nothing.

I had pretty good vision 6 years ago, I’m pretty cactus now.
The vision i have when I dream is getting foggier as I get older. It’s almost like my brain is delaying what I’d see in my awake time. It’s a bit annoying but can’t do anything about it.
I can do lucid dreaming but i can’t convince myself to see better.

I don't see in dreams but I somehow know where things are.

That’s pretty cool. Is it familiar places or just a general sense of where things are ?

Legally blind here, I still see in my dreams. It's hard to describe, but my dreams frequently revolve around me being able to see perfectly again for some reason.
