An Expert Reveals That Dogs Are Likely Dreaming About Their Owners

Dreaming is something that is one of the more unusual things that most of us do on a daily basis. When we wake up, we often tell somebody else about the dreams that we had or they may reveal theirs to us. Dreams are also something that tend to fade away as the day wears on. There is also something interesting that happens when we have animals in the house.

As a dog owner, you have likely looked over and seeing your dog kicking, whimpering and perhaps even growling in their sleep. It can be rather interesting to watch, but up until now, we had no idea what was actually taking place in their dreams. It was obvious that they were dreaming, but what were they seeing? A Harvard expert has now weighed in on the subject.

He was taking part of the Q&A session and talks about various subjects, including leg movements and REM cycles. When he got to the subject of what was actually taking place in the dogs dream, however, it touched people on a very deep basis.
