Yes. The other day our 2 yr. old Yellow Lab was sleeping in her crate and she started whimpering in her sleep. I know she was dreaming so I gently rubbed her to wake her up. I belive she was having a nightmare as she was whimpering.

Yep. They have enough twitching and sounds. It seems to me that my dogs are dreaming about running. The cats are a little more inscrutable regarding dreams. I've seem both cats and dogs have nightmares, as well.
Currently I have a 100+ lbs. dog who thinks he's a cat because he was smaller than mine when he moved in. Toss him a ball and he'll roll over on his back and juggle it in his paws like a cat playing with a ball of yarn. He's also very determined about sleeping on his back like the cats often sprawl - he actually braces himself up against something so he can achieve and hold the position. This makes him snore on top of whatever weird little dog/cat hybrid dream he is having. So far, I've never seen him have a nightmare, unlike my other dog who was rescued and obviously abused by the previous owner.
I also read somewhere a theory that they are dreaming about their day, reliving certain parts of it. I think that is likely as humans do the same sort of thing.

My dog dreams about eating my cat, and my cat dreams about eating the dog - they love each other really

Yes they do, I'm sure our dogs dream of the beach and chasing things, the type of things that they do in real life and I've no doubt that they have nightmares too.

i don't know about cats but yes dogs do dream it depends what breed they r but most of them dream about running and hunting something. my beagle candy does this all the time she'll be laying and u can watch her and lilke 2 minutes later she'll be dreaming, and she'll be wining and her legs will be moving. i'm guessing she's dreaming about chasing a rabbit again!!!! LOL.

My friends dogs often dream and make funny noises. their paws move as though they are running. I guess they are dreaming of chasing cats, or runing away from something.

I'm sure my dog does, she yaps, whines, growls and fidgets in her sleep. I think she dreams about playing in the garden, going out for walks, getting some nice food, and all that kind of stuff.

Yes they do. I think they dream about big juicy bones or a nice fresh fish and probably chasing each other round a big garden.
