Dream is the only way blind people can see (I think)

My guess is that they dream of being able to see

No, born blind people cannot see in their dreams

You're saying blind people can't imagine?

@Alex1610:no. They sure can, only they imagine with the senses they have

let's try this. can you imagine a new colour?

@Alex1610: most likely no. That's what happens to them. They cannot imagine colours (which are a reflection of white light).

The images we see during outreach dreams are not brand new, they're just some of the things our brains absorbed from the exterior world. It does not happen to blind people.
