That's something I've thought about a lot, too. And what about deaf people who weren't born deaf... what is the difference between the mind's ear of a person like that and a person born deaf. I doubt that the mind's eye of a person born blind can't see. Maybe we should ask this:
Can we visualize something we haven't seen? And I don't mean weird shapes or contraptions, because they're usually comprised of stuff we've already seen. We construct these weird shapes using shapes we already know, we make weird objects of details already known to us.
Maybe the answer lies in creating colors we haven't yet seen in lucid dreams. Some people have claimed to have done this. Yet many have used existing colors to describe the new ones.
Or how about creating your very own shape. Something that isn't a square, a circle etc. or made of them. Such a feat probably demands the application of unknown dimensions, though. But in a dream, isn't everything possible?
Once again - questions with many different answers. Pick one and live with it. No guess is wrong.
