Q & A - Do Dogs Dream?
Q: Do dogs dream? If so, what do they typically dream about ? Things
from their past (such as bad/good memories); things that happened
during their day; things they saw; or something altogether different?
A: We have all seen our animals twitching, flinching, faux running and
whimpering in their sleep from time to time. The animals tell me they
have fantastic dreams. Some cats have told me of great adventures and
hunting expeditions they have dreamed about and dogs have told me how
they are running, chasing toys or dashing about. They have both good
and bad dreams just like we do. Most of it is fun and enjoyable for
them. One of my cats Choo Choo leaped out of a deep sleep with a
terrified look on her face. I asked her what was wrong and she told me
she had 'fallen from a high tree branch' in her sleep. She was a bit
shaken at first but quickly put it behind her. Most of their dreams
are in vivid color and very exciting.
