    In addition to what everyone else has already said, you do not have to see something to be able to have dreams. You'd be surprised at how much sound can affect the way you live. I read a study where the teacher had the class watch a scene of a movie without music in the background. Then they watched the same scene again with the music and the students felt like the second version with the music was more realistic and helped them feel the mood. Maybe a blind person has not seen an airplane but I'm sure he probably heard one. Maybe he's heard people talk about what it's like to fly one. Maybe he's listened to a movie and can recognize what a plane going down sounds like.

    I "watched" Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with a friend who is blind. Yeah, I watched it and he listened. Of course it's not the most enjoyable experience I've ever had because I had to explain everything that was going on when there was no dialogue.

    But I'm sure audio greatly influences their dreams. If you ever listen to Opera or a musical the words and music completely tell a story without visuals even being necessary.
