do dogs dream when they sleep?

Answer 1

I say yes.
This is from an article on the web
I believe it is also quite common for dogs to go through what people describe as REM sleep patterns. I'm sure many of you have have witnessed your dogs paddling lightly or barking during deep sleep. These dogs are "dreaming," probably chasing some rabbit or mailman down the block or leading their imagined "pack" on some conquest. It is really interesting to witness these dogs dream.es

Answer 2

Everyone who has responded is right. Yes, they do. And at times they are fun to watch. There have been a couple of times when the movement was too agressive than normal, that I quietly and easily woke the dog up. Since she is small, I want to avoid any overactive heart activity. But like I said, it was very aggressive. But most of the time, movement is normal, and with the noises they make and the movement---------get out the video camera. Sometimes it can be real funny with what they do.

Answer 3

I think my dogs do. My younger dog moves around when she sleeps, and my older dog licks herself awake at times. It's cute. A study recently came out on yahoo by researchers @ MIT states that mice dream in pictures (like humans do). So..

Answer 4

I think so because my dog is always like barking and jerking in her sleep I just assumed that she was dreaming

Answer 5

I would hazzard to guess that not only dogs dream but all animals dream. We used to watch our dogs sleep and watch their legs twitch like they were chasing something or someone.

Answer 6

I'm pretty sure that dogs dream. I have a pug named Sandy and she moves her eyes, paws, and sometimes kicks. The first time she did it when she was a pup, I thought something was wrong with her. But as she got older she continued to do it.

Answer 7

i think dogs dream when they sleep because my dog will be passed out and then start crying and kicking, but still be asleep. Thats when they have dreams, i think.
