What does a blind man dream?

Does he see what we see? If so, how would he see what we see?

I saw this question on the internet, and I couldn't help but wonder what the answer could possibly be. This is all of course, on the premise that the man was born blind.

These kind of questions always get me in a philosophical state of mind. For the question mentioned above, there is a definite answer since many blind people have been questioned about it, but even silly questions get the best of me: What happens when Pinocchio says his nose will grow?

I'm pretty sure that I'll always be in interested in this kind of stuff. My only hope is that I'll be able to get over them easily since there are no real answers to the large majority of these questions.
