The faithful friend of every family or person, for those who live with one. A dog can mean a lot to a person and this can mean a lot to him; Dogs can develop immense affection for their caretaker and loyalty is something they know all too well. But what is their dream when they go to sleep, will they dream of one, what they did in the day or will they even have dreams?
Dr. Barret thinks that most mammals have the same sleep cycle as humans. This would demonstrate that as in people, in animals the brain works at a lower performance during the deep sleep stage and a latent activity called REM phase (the acronym in English for “Rapid Eye Movement, in Spanish), is also present in these. One of the most considerable differences, between mammals with whom we share the same sleep cycle, in the case of the smallest is that their sleep stages occur more quickly, causing shorter but more recurrent dreams. Case given to the contrary where the older ones have much longer periods of deep sleep.
Therefore, just as a person is able to speak while sleeping or move suddenly because of a dream, who denies that when a dog begins to bark, growl or move its paws in such a way as if it were really running, how to deny those similarities with us if they also tell us that we have the same sleep cycle. Perhaps they dream of looking for the ball, chasing its tail, marking its territory, things that they do but taken to the plane of dreams.
Perhaps a German Shepherd or Border Collie dreams of grazing cattle, just as a person can even dream of their job. Bring the activities of your day to day to your dreams.
So the next time you wonder what your dog may be dreaming of, he may be remembering everything he did that day, he may be remembering you in his dreams, as he may also dream that he eats a large plate of food.
