Pleasant Dreams
Dogs can dream like humans and their dream patterns are similar too, they may chase rabbits or bark in their sleep. Research has shown that dogs have similar sleep patterns as humans and go through the same stages of non-REM and REM sleep.
During the REM stage, dogs have been observed to move their limbs as if they were running or chasing something, indicating that they are experiencing a dream.
Studies have also shown that dogs’ dream patterns are often related to their daily activities and experiences, so a dog that chases a ball during the day may dream about chasing a ball at night.
