Have you ever wondered if dogs dream? The answer is yes! Just like us humans, dogs also have dreams while they sleep. In this #LivelongTip, we tell you more about this fascinating phenomenon:
Researchers have discovered that during the REM sleep stage (Rapid Eye Movement), dogs show signs of brain activity similar to humans when they’re dreaming. They can even have involuntary movements of their legs, make sounds, and quickly move their eyes behind their eyelids.
So, what do dogs dream about? While we can’t dive into their furry minds, it’s believed that a dog’s dreams relate to their daily experiences and natural instincts. They may dream about playing, chasing objects, running freely, or even interacting with other dogs and people.
Puppies and young dogs tend to dream more than older dogs. This may be because puppies are constantly exploring and learning new things, and their dreams reflect this growth and discovery.
Watching your dog sleep can be a delightful and curious experience.
