We can never tell. But perhaps people who were blind still have other senses functioning... Even the mere touch can stimulate brain activities that can make pictures but not much detailed in terms of color... Perhaps they might have dreams of people, things and stuffs but perhaps there is something missing, the color and the specifics...

As researchers believe that people who are blind from birth or become blind in infancy do not see in their dreams. They do not retain visual imagery because it was never acquired in the first place.
However those blinded in childhood, adolescence, young adulthood or afterwards usually do see in their dreams. They often retain visual imagery in their waking life and in their dreams.

Sure Blind people do see dreams. I have a cousing who is blind. He used to differentiate things with the touch, smell and sound. His grasping power is so high that he will identify each one with the sound of walking. He used to tell me about his dreams. But not so colourful.
