If someone has been blind since birth they only hear things in their dreams. Though if they have lost sight halfway through life they do dream as we do.

I would think that they could invent object through other senses. Sort of what we call synaesthesia.

Being legally (partially) blind myself (from age 29), I have met a lot of blind people, but have never thought to ask. I would suspect that their "dreams" are not visual, but are based in the other senses.
