Psychologist believes that dogs
dream about the humans they love
of time we are curious what are our pets
dreaming about, are they dreaming for us or their favorite food?
A Harvard psychologist, Dr.
Deirdre Barrett has been studying humans sleep behaviors for years now, along
the way of the studies Dr. Barrett also learned some things about animal’s
dreams.
Dogs just like many mammals have
almost the same sleeping cycle as humans and according to Dr. Barrett, “That
certainly makes it the best guess that other mammals are dreaming, too.” He
reported in an interview with People.
Just like humans, dogs undergo a
stage that is called Rapid Eye Movement or REM, and it’s the phase in the cycle
when mammals experience dreaming.
When Dr. Barrett asked what dog’s
dreams about he answered: “since dogs are generally extremely attached to their
human owners, it’s likely your dog is dreaming of your face, your smell and of
pleasing or annoying you.”
Dr also answered the question if
we can do anything to ensure that our pets only dream about pleasant things he
said: “The best way to give ourselves or our children better dreams is to have
happy daytime experiences and to get plenty of sleep in a safe and comfortable
environment.”
Seeing a dog sleeping always
gives you a peaceful feeling, no matter what they dream about.
