My dog often whines or barks when shes sleeping, can dogs have bad dreams or is something else going on?

The Dream
I lay down bleeding, bruised, and sore - broken spirit, just like before.
Can't he see my pain, my fright? I want to play, and love - not fight.
I see his hand as it comes down, and as he speaks I can hear his frown.
I shrink down closer to the floor, but I know just what ís in store.
I whimper softly, though in vain. My punishment - a four foot chain.
Left outside for seven days. No food, no water, eyes that glaze.
I rest my eyes, close them tight, trying to forget my plight.
As I open them again, there is no grass, there is no chain.
I see your hand as it comes down, to pat my head, call me a clown.
You laugh and tell me how I snore, then you hug me, and pat me more.
"It was only a dream!" I think with a sigh, and thank the big man up in the sky.
The pain I endured, it led you to me, and FINALLY "I" am a part of a "WE".
My heart beats "I love you". I hope you can hear it. There ís not many out there that can mend a broken spirit.

Our boxer, Gracie, barks and looks like she is running in her sleep(it is kinda cute). She has done this since we had her. We boarded her at the vet's office for a couple of days and one of the vet techs noticed this and told the vet. The vet said it has been proved that dogs can dream just as much as humans can. Hope this helps.

yes dogs can constantly have bad dreams, or nightmares. my dog always whimpers at night the best solution is to wake them up.

yes my puppy does the same thing. It's kinda cute cause he never barks when he's awake (he doesn't know how to yet) and when he is sleeping he lets out very small baby bark

Sure they do...imagine what a dog has to go through in a day. It needs to process while they sleep, just like our thoughts do.
