Do animals see dreams ?

Answer 1

I am sure they do. Dogs get very exspressive...and my cat is constantly dreaming, probably that he will never get any more tasty raw meat. So he wakes up crying! Then he realizes where he is and calms down. Interesting question though...

Answer 2

Zzzzzzzzzz. Huh? What? Where am I? Where’s that mouse? Or was it a rat?
Yes, animals dream. Researchers Dr. Matthew Wilson and Kenway Louie at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology selected four lucky rats. They implanted micro-electrodes into the hippocampus, the region of the brain associated with memory. Then they monitored the firing patterns of the neurons hooked up to micro-electrodes.
The patterns were the same whether the rat was dreaming about running around on a track or actually running around on a track. In fact, by just looking at the patterns, the scientists could tell whether the creature was dreaming about running or just sitting around. So why do animals dream? Probably to re-live and learn from experience.

Answer 3

Jellyfish and starfish: probably not (at least not dreams that we could identify with), because they don't have brains.

Ants: Maybe really small dreams.

Worms: No eyes, so maybe they smell dreams or feel dreams.

Birds: They always have dreams about flying...

Gazelles: Often have nightmares about being chased...

Fish: Should I say it...?

Cats: See dreams 2/3 of their lives.

Spiders: They have 8 or 10 eyes, so they get to see several dreams at the same time.

Bees: Sweet dreams...(ouch! enough...)

Answer 4

I certainly believe animals have dreams, since my own dog has reacted in his sleep, by what must of been a nightmare.

Answer 5

yes,
They easiest way to check if an animal is dreaming right then is to look at their eyelids while they sleep. If the eyes appear to be moving underneath it means they are engaging in REM (rapid eye movement) which is what scientist call dreaming. But, yes, more scientific tests have been done to comfirm this.

Answer 6

There is a book called, "What do DOGS dream about?"
very interesting book, but I can't think of the author right now

Answer 7

Yes.

Animals are more connected to their inner beings than humans.

Answer 8

I have to say yes, my cats and dogs that I have owned over the years have all dreamt.. I have observed them all twitching, and making noises and various other movements they have made whilst asleep..If that's not dreaming, I don't know what is ... BB .. )O(

Answer 9

You mean do animals dream right? you should ask them..

Answer 10

I think so. My little dog sometimes whimpers and makes running motions with it's paws. When I pat her a little, she rouses up, looks confused for a second, stretches and goes back to sleep.
