Does A Senseless Man Dream?

[richhhhhard]

I posted a thread a few days ago about time and existence, but it was more a response to my thoughts on these questions-

What does a blind man see in his dreams?
Does he experience his dreamworld in total darkness?
What of a deaf man?
In his dream does he read lips?
Does a man that lacks all 5 senses dream at all?
Does he even perceive that he exists?

These are philosophical questions that have profound implications on what "life" is.
Helen Keller lacked 2 of the 5 senses, sight and hearing, but she was still able to feel, taste, and smell (just try to imagine the world without sight or sound, it is almost impossible[actually it is impossible, you can't imagine life without something that you already have]). With these abilities she was still able to gain an understanding of the world.

What if she had not had those senses either though?

From a religious standpoint would such a person, that could never be reached, be able to be saved? They could never sin because they could never act. On the other hand, they could never choose to believe in God because they could never experience the world. This person could live a full "life" if kept alive, but never experience anything.

From a philosophical standpoint would such a person even exist? Clearly they exist in the physical sense that they have a body, a beating heart, and a developed brain. But do they perceive that they exist, and that they are a part of the universe? Do they have any thoughts at all? Does anything, aside from anatomy, separate them from a plant?
Does anything make them more than an aggregation of biological building blocks?
