Animal Dreams

[Gonzoed]

Do animals dream?

[naz_nomad]

Yes

[B00]

Well my dog does, the poor sod frightens himself awake many a time woofing in his sleep!

[saxy_jag]

Mine too. Dunno what she's killing but she's getting pretty angry about it, whatever it is.

I used to have a greyhound, soppy as anything. The only time she ever 'bit' (and wasn't a bite, really) was when I disturbed her whilst she was dreaming.

My dog does too her feet move as though she is running and her lip twitches

[shaneystar2]

I'm sure they do ....Shaney makes all sorts of peculiar noises when he is in a deep sleep ...yelping,snuffling,growling,sighing and wriggling around.

Mind you it always amazes me how they manage to be alert at the slightest noise and then fall back into a stupor.

Yeah they sure do. My dog "Blister" said he dreamed about shagging Jordan and Girls Aloud at the same time. How mad is that? He is seeing a therapist, so hopefully will get himself sorted soon enough.

I've also seen my own dog 'running' in it's sleep, breathing hard, then giving a disapointed whimper, I guess it didn't catch whatever it was!

lol my male ferret is funny when hes asleep and dreaming, he lays there twitching, rolling, making noises, etc i first thought he was having a seizure or something till i grabbed him out and got a wow, what did you wake me up like that for look. he snores very loudly to. a couple of times both my ferrets ive stood and watched, and thought they wasnt breathing have poked and proded them and got nothing, got them out the cage and held them cuddled them and they limp as anything gone frantic running for the phone tears running down my face, thinking they are still warm and are maybe saveable and then they suddenly wake up. spoke to a ferret rescue person about this and was told they get in to such a deep sleep they can be hard to wake up. lol fell for it again once more after that aswell :)
