All About Dog Dreaming"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
We have all seen the loveable twitch of paws and head the strange woof while our dogs are sleeping; however, does a dog dream? Learn more about what your dog is dreaming about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dog owners have heard and seen their dog’s endearing dreamy antics. Perhaps you have listened to a drowsy woof or witnessed him paddle his paws; maybe you have seen a subtle growl. However, does your paw dream? And if he can, then what does he dream about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let us look at this systematically; everyone knows that a human being has a dream as research has revealed that the electrical desires and urges in the brain can become active when sleeping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies have used the same methods to track canines to determine whether those lovely nighttime trundles are proof of dreams or something diverse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Utilizing an electroencephalogram to assess brain wave activity when the dog is sleeping, experts found out that human beings have even more in common with dogs than most of us thought. It looks like dogs do dreamlike human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
You may be already familiar that a human being has different phases of sleep and that dreaming tends to occur at a particular point in the sleep cycle. This seems to be right for our four-legged friend as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your dog will come into a phase of sleep called REM or also known as Rapid Eye Movement. At this level, your dog’s breathing will start to sound irregular, and the eye will begin to move around fast and more rapidly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You might see the flickering of their eyelids. It is during this phase of sleep that your dog’s dreams tend to take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From time to time, the signs of seizures can seem the same to indicate that the dog is dreaming. However, there are many ways to know the difference between dreams and seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dog seizures are irregular motor responses from the brain; In contrast, a dog’s dream is just normal electric impulses; they may be reliving their exercise from earlier within the day or remembering the moment they chased a cat or playing with the owner.<\/p>\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
The indications that your dog is dreaming are the paddling of his feet and the twitching of his muscles. And even if these can also be signs of a dog seizure, they present in different manners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mild twitches during a dog dream will just last for a very short time, while seizure might last for a few minutes and is more violent and usually occurs in limbs, becoming rigid and stiff. Dog experiencing convulsion might also foam or drool at the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Particularly it is apparent if a dog has experienced a convulsion if they regain consciousness; a dreaming pet will seem okay, if a bit sleepy, while a dog that has had a convulsion will look disoriented and potentially distressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human beings differ as to how frequently they dream and what they dream about, and experts think that it is true of dogs. A small dog has more often dreams than a large dog; however, those small dog dreams are shorter. On the other hand, big dogs have longer but fewer dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, we can hazard a supposition that what a dog does all through the day determines his dream. While we cannot say it is true, the fact that Dobermans and Pointers point guard behavior entails that breed-specific activity might happen during dreams. Like for example, the Labrador Retriever tends to dream about running after a ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
