Dog sleep runs....into a wall

When I get a dog, I want it to do exactly this!....in the meantime...I wonder if hamsters can be trained to have wacky running dreams....





XOXO

    This is definitely an educational blog. I'd never seen a dog dreaming before. Thank You.

    I went through a phase last year of having fights in my sleep, kicking my attackers (I sensed my legs were definitely kicking OUT!).
    Fortunately, I didn't jump up and run into a wall.
    However, on moving into my flat I did fall out of a temporary narrow bed on the first night and cut my head on a nearby door.
    Of course, I pretended to students it was a slash cut from a fight - well 'ard.

    I wonder if dogs 'know' they've been dreaming (probably not).
    What do rats dream about?
    I wonder how far 'down' the animal world we would find dreaming. Cockroaches?

    thats an interesting question you have there! Rats would dream because they have spatial and episodic memory...so therefore I think they would dream about their journey to food and crawling into your rubbish bin.....

    I think that because all living things, cockroaches included have an active nervous system etc that all react to external stimulus (like if you were to tromp about in a way that threatened their life...then they would wake up)...so i think everything that has a nervous system, the ability to feel etc would be able to dream to some extent.

    hmmm, what u think?
