Foreign zoopsychologists believe that dogs see dreams and they can even be nightmarish.
Now it won’t be difficult to understand why it’s better not to wake a sleeping dog, especially if you suspect that the dreams it sees are not the best.
As researchers from Harvard Medical School have discovered, dogs really do dream, People reports.
Scientists do not yet see any reason to assert that the nature of animal dreams differs from human ones.
Presumably, the dreams include experiences the dog has had, including experiences of communication with humans.
It should not be ruled out that a pet can see its owner in a dream.
The theory is based on the deep emotional attachment of a dog to a person.
The dog can see the owner's face, smell him, and dream of his owner petting him, playing with him, or annoying him.
The paws can tell you more about the animal’s dreams – if they twitch, it means that the dog is running somewhere in the dream.
Also, a sleeping dog may bark, which indicates that the pet is in contact with another animal or person.
But if you suspect that your dog is dreaming about something disturbing, it is better to let your pet lie down and calm down.
There are known cases where animals behaved aggressively towards a person who woke them up.
