They don't "see" images in the sense that a sighted person "sees" but they have dreams in images that make sense to them. A person who can't see still experiences the world around them and the mind creates an internalized experience for them that - for lack of a better word - "Paints" a picture in their "mind's eye" of their surroundings. They dream in the same context.

Sight is only one way in which we experience that world around us. We have four other simple senses and a whole array of other senses that science has yet to define. Losing one - ie. sight - does not keep us from experiencing the world.
