I'm blind in one eye but have normal vision in the other. In dreams, I somehow never have problems I encounter in daily life. In my dreams there's never someone out of my field of vision who's assuming I can see them and my depth perception is always perfect.

Most visually impaired people still have some sight. It's a whole spectrum from being completely blind to having some or even most vision left. Only a small percentage of visually impaired people are born with no vision.
For people who are born blind, they would have no practical concept of what something is like visually, so their dreams wouldn't be visual. It would more focused on hearing and the other senses. Also, I've read that a research showed that for people who were blind later on in life, the longer they were blind for, the less likely their dreams focus on visuals.

I would like to ask you, what’s the interest on finding out how people dream? This is one of the most common questions sighted people ask blind people, but I’ve always wondered why.

I’m mostly blind with just vision in one eye. My dreams are a riot of sensations and very bright colors. It’s a lot about mood and feeling more than seeing.

I lost my vision as a child. I still have a good visual concept, but I could not tell you if I can see my dreams. I forget most of them, but even then, my brain does not register if I can see colors and stuff from the perspective of a visual sense or others.
