zzzzzzzzz ......Do dogs dream ? ... zzzzzzzzz
Then answer is probably yes.
- We know that in people dreams occur as part of the sleep cycle when our brains process information and experiences.
- We can measure the brainwave activity in dogs when they sleep and we know that their brains have the same stages of sleep that people have including Slow Wave Sleep and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep.
- We also know it is during REM sleep when humans do most of their dreaming, so it is very likely that when your dog if whining, paddling their legs or breathing more rapidly during sleep, that they are having some pleasurable dream (about chasing a ball, or other animals - or perhaps girl dogs....).
Below is Emily the Cocker Spaniel giving an excellent example of a brilliant dream she was having about running through a field of grass.
PS: Cats also exhibit REM sleep and can have similar muscle movements - so we assume they are also dreaming (but then, what are they dreaming about - mine are so lazy that they are probably dreaming about more sleep, which creates a bit of a perpetual circle !).
Let me know if your cat or dog ever dreams and what they are likely to be dreaming about .....
