Do blind people dream in visual images?

Keep it short and conscise. I want to be specific and direct.

Dreams are developed from memories that are stored in the brain as well as from brain circuitry that is developed while experiencing the outside world. Therefore, even though a person who lost his vision may be currently blind, his brain is still able to draw on the visual memories and on the related brain circuits that were formed before he went blind. For this reason, he can dream in visual images. What is more surprising is the discovery that people who were born blind also dream in visual images.

Yes, blind people has also dreams in visual images. For people who are born with eyesight and then later went blind, it is not new anymore that they feel some visual sensations while dreaming

Most people who are completely blind have circadian rhythms that are “free running”; that is, their circadian rhythms are not synchronized to their environment time cues and they oscillate on a cycle of about 24.5 hours. Why do you suppose the circadian clocks of blind people are not entrained to the same 24-hour clock as the majority of the population? Can you guess what symptoms might be associated with a free-running circadian clock? Do you suppose that blind people have...
