Do y’all dream? (self.Blind)

I have seen this question posted several times and I have answered it in person a lot.
I am totally blind and have been since birth. I dream often, in my dreams it's a lot like my waking world where I can experience anything and everything but without sight. So I have dreams of walking around, dreams of being in classes or with people I know, dreams of being chased by monsters, dreams of flying, dreams of being on picnics or at the beach, etc.

Yeah, everyone dreams and it makes no difference if we can see or not. I usually don't remember any of my dreams.
Questions for you, why do you have this question? It is a a common question, and I always wonder why it is a common question.

The vast majority of blind people have some vision. In my dreams, i think my vision is pretty similar to how I see IRL. But also dreams aren't just silent movies. There's lots of senses involved, even fully 100% blind people can and do dream.

I think the OP meant for this question to be directed towards those who were born blind. Obviously those who had their sight and lost it have memories that their brain utilizes in creating imagery when dreaming. Maybe the question is better worded as, what are your dream experiences like? Feelings and words? Sounds?
I have this cool app on my phone where a visually impaired person can call and ask for assistance. I get a lot of calls from the grocery store. Making sure that they get the specific brand of ___ they like. Or expiration dates on milk, eggs. Whether the bananas are ripe enough or not. I get calls from older individuals asking if the light is on in the room their in, or to help them find something important that they’ve misplaced. Helping discern different denominations of money is also a popular call. Sizes of clothes. I did get a call one time from an old woman asking me if her new hairstyle looked good. Me, a 29 year old male with zero experience in women’s hairstyles & under qualified in making an opinion told her it looked great. The app is 100% free and easy to sign up. I also never take my eyesight for granted anymore. It really helped me understand the full weight of being visually impaired on any scale.
