Hi,
Yes, blind people definitely halucinate. And halucination isn't
just seeing things that aren't there.
One time I had to have some surgery and discovered I was apparently
overdosing on the pain killer they gave me afterwards. It
definitely helped the pain, but I started imagining hearing voices
and even conversations from people who weren't even there. I
realized later after the pain killer wore off just what had happened
and it scared me enough I wouldn't take the pain killer anymore at
all and just put up with it.
So, I think you can halucinate using whatever of your senses is
appropriate for that moment.
