What do the blind dream?

We have all had dreams. Some are epic, some scare us, some are to real for words. It seems our dreams are relatable to what we see everyday, or what we know. You have my permission to laugh at this, but when I was a kid, I dreamt I was on the Titanic and Leo DiCaprio was my dad...I was 8, and had just seen the film (my parents were unaware of the sex scenes...I covered my eyes).
It's fun to tell others your dreams, because usually, they are so crazy and unrealistic that you just gotta share them.

My husband is a deep thinker. It's kindof amazing some of the questions he comes up with, they just make you sit there and think for a moment. The other day he asked, "What do the blind dream about?". My immediate response was, probably what everyone dreams; but if they have been blind since birth, what do they relate to visually that would make that movie in their head at night? They haven't seen roller coasters, or knights in shining armor. Maybe they dream their own interpretation of things we see, based on sound.

If I ever meet a blind person, I plan to ask ( as long as it isn't insulting).
