Do dogs and cats have dreams?
Sleep in dogs and cats, like that of humans, It is divided into several phaseswith the REM phase being the most closely linked to the generation of dream images. During this resting stage, the brain of pets is very active and rapid eye movements are observed. Both dogs and cats experience REM sleep, suggesting that could dream in a similar way to human beings.
David Peña-Guzmán, a philosopher at San Francisco State University, suggests that dogs’ dreams reflect their daily sensory experiences. Since dogs rely heavily on smell, their dreams are likely related to the odors they encounter in their daily lives.
