I read this book and all the blind people interviewed in there say that they never dreamed in vision.
How did they know what "vision" was? They all had near-death experiences where they could see quite vividly. The lack of dreaming in vision was cited as evidence that something strange was actually occurring.
You might want look up Dr Kenneth Ring's research documented in his book "Mindsight"...in it he describes people blind from birth having NDE's (and OBE's as part of these) and describing visual like sensory phenomena, even though they have never used or been able to use such a sensory modality once before in their lives.

My analogy is one way for the theist to kinda explain the mind/brain relationship. Obviously It wasn't meant to provide proof. The only type of evidence theists and atheists have to work with are people who report near death experiences (NDEs). An interesting book that might offer you some proof is Mindsight: Near-Death and Out-of-Body Experiences in the Blind. As the title states, it deals with NDEs of blind people. Once the blind people "cross over" it seems that they are able to observe their surrounding and can give detailed visual accounts of their surrounds during their NDE. I'm not saying this is proof of a soul or afterlife but it's definitely interesting. Thanks
