Dogs do dream, and research shows their dreams are likely about the things they experience in daily life. Brain activity patterns during sleep are similar to those in humans, suggesting dogs replay events like playing, running, chasing, or interacting with their owners.
You may notice your dog twitching, whimpering, or moving their paws while sleeping — these are signs they are dreaming. Puppies and older dogs tend to dream more frequently.
Understanding this helps us appreciate just how rich and active their inner lives are.
