Do Blind People Dream in Black and White?

Do blind people dream in black and white??
The answer is no.  If a person is born blind, then they have no stored visual images, which does not enable them to dream in pictures at all, let alone black and white.  They simply dream in what they already know of the world: touch, taste, smell, and noise.
However, if a person goes blind after birth and is old enough to have some stored visual images, then yes, they do dream in black and white and color, just like anyone else.  They may not have a factual representation of what they are dreaming, but that does not stop them from dreaming it...
