Do dogs, like humans, also dream
Of course dogs can dream. Many times, when a little dog is sleeping, it will suddenly squeak and bark. There will be occasional thrusts, all of which are signs of dogs dreaming. First of all, do you know how scientists determine whether “organisms are dreaming”?
When dreaming, people experience shallow breathing, faster heartbeat, increased blood pressure, doubled brain blood volume, and slight facial and limb twitching. At this point, the eye movement meter can measure the rapid movement of the eyeball, and fast waves will inevitably appear on the EEG simultaneously. Therefore, generally speaking, “rapid eye movement” combined with “EEG fast waves” can be used as a hallmark of dreaming.
Scientists used the above method to measure some animals: when frogs are asleep, there are only a few slow wave curves and no “EEG fast wave” and “rapid eye movement” periods, so it can be determined that frogs do not dream. And turtles have “rapid eye movements” and “EEG fast waves” while sleeping, but the time is very short and only occupies sleep
2% of sleep time. From this, it can be determined that turtles have very little dreaming time.
Finally, scientists have concluded through research that most reptiles do not dream; Birds can do it
Dreams, but most only have brief dreams; Fish, amphibians, and invertebrates do not dream. And dogs all dream.
Because dogs cannot speak, they cannot tell humans their dreams, but we can observe whether they have ever had the following situations while they are sleeping:
1. Limbs twitching; (Maybe dreaming of running on the grass)
2. Dogs talk in their dreams and even make mournful cries;
3. Rapid breathing; (Perhaps chasing prey in a dream)
4. Pulse accelerates and slows down;
5. The eyeball is rotating;
6. Occasional drooling; (Maybe dreaming of delicious food)
If your dog experiences the above situations while sleeping, it is likely that your dog is dreaming~
