If someone is born blind, what's in their dreams?

This is a question that stumped me, and I really want to see what you guys think.

According to Google, they do not see images, their dreams are often high-functioning narratives with movement and emotion, sometimes experiencing abstract flashes or patterns.

Whatever is in their daily life but in a dream-way.

It is said that people born blind have some audio vision. They can run through a hall with obstacles from the echo of their steps.

This is intensely correct-- and I am so glad to see you say this my friend...!!!!
Literally and I mean my whole entire life I have not had one person say this same thing--
Which I have shared since I Ever knew :-)
This is absolutely and 100% the Truth; and it's a pretty good and important one too:
Dreams have to do with emotional states and feelings -- It's not about symbols or anything like that.
This is a very main thing and I am just expressing verbosely because I am glad you shared it too :-)
Hope you are absolutely amazing my friend --
Have a great day.!!!!!

One thing that came to mind is Helen Keller

Now -- this is one hing that A.I. can do okay is assimilate facts and things; -- About Helen Keller -- I asked (She was born blind and deaf--
I asked if she had nightmares and it detailed them somewhat-- while saying at the end that she moved past them and lived a life of optimism as joy (As well we kind of know.)

To the O.P. -- Helen Keller is sort of immensely famous for being able to communicate; though she was born without sight or hearing.

Very difficult say the least. (I can imagine.)

I asked if she had nightmares; Google replied:

Yes, Helen Keller experienced nightmares, particularly during her childhood before she learned to communicate. In her autobiography, she described these early nightmares as being devoid of sound, thought, or emotion, consisting only of sensations and intense fear.
Details of Her Nightmares
The "Still Room" Dream: Keller often dreamed of running into a quiet, dark room where she felt something fall heavily without sound, causing the floor to shake violently, causing her to wake up.
The Wolf Dream: She recalled a recurring dream of a wolf rushing toward her and biting her, during which she tried to scream but could make no sound, which she attributed to hearing the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Childhood Fears: Before Anne Sullivan arrived, Keller described herself as "trapped" and often experienced intense frustration and anger. She later described her young self as feeling "like a trapped animal".
--Evolution of Her Dreams
:As she grew older and learned more about her environment, the strange, scary dreams of her childhood ceased.
She noted in her writing that her dreams changed, and she began to dream more of external objects, rather than just internal sensations of fear.
While she had these nightmares as a child, she was later known for her optimism and joy, stating that she rarely dwelled on her limitations and did not feel sad about them.
