you mean rubbing brail or the actual image of the brail? I'm guessing you meant the former.

but if you went blind later in your life it would be terrible having visual dreams which fade to black when you wake up.

it means that just because they can't see doesn't mean they can't dream.

Blind people who could see before have visual and auditory dreams, but blind people who were born blind only have auditory dreams unless they're deaf, then I can't imagine what they'd dream of, probably visuals they conjure in their head from feeling different textures?

Do you reckon if a person was born with no sensor input so no sight, hearing, touch, smell or taste. Would they know they are alive?

Cogito, ergo sum probably applies there.

They would have conscious thought - they would just be oblivious to the existence of anything outside of their mind. They probably would have no concept of anything seeing as language is often a prerequisite to understanding anything about the world especially when it comes to contemplating your own 'existence'
