Do
Animals
Dream?
Have
you
ever
wondered
if
animals
dream
just
like
us
humans?
The
answer
is
a
resounding
"yes"!
Many
studies
have
shown
that
animals,
from
dogs
to
birds,
exhibit
REM
(Rapid
Eye
Movement)
sleep
which
indicates
that
they
are
experiencing
dreams
just
like
us. Just

REM
sleep
is
associated
with
emotional
and
memory-related
brain
activity.
In
fact,
studies
have
shown
that
rats
who
have
learned
a
maze
will
dream
about
the
path
they
took
to
find
the
reward.
Similarly,
dogs
who
have
experienced
trauma
will
exhibit
signs
of
having
nightmares. But
what
do
animals
dream
about?
We
can
only
guess.
Dogs,
for
example,
are
known
to
dream
about
chasing
a
ball
or
running
through
fields,
while
cats
may
dream
about
stalking
prey.
It's
likely
that
animals
dream
about
experiences
they've
had
while
awake,
just
like
humans. However,
it's
important
to
note
that
not
all
animals
experience
REM
sleep.
For
example,
fish
don't
seem
to
experience
REM
sleep,
and
it's
unclear
if
insects
or
other
invertebrates
dream
at
all. In
conclusion,
animals
do
indeed
dream
just
like
humans
do,
and
it's
fascinating
to
think
about
what
goes
on
in
their
minds
while
they
sleep.
It's
yet
another
fascinating
aspect
of
the
animal
kingdom
that
we
can
learn
more
about.
