If you watched a dog sleep you will think that it dreams. A dog deep asleep will twitch, move and moan as if it was dreaming about running through a land made of bones big Juicy bones.

But the question is can animals actually dream?

Scientists would agree the same with any animal lover you might ask. Animals indeed appear to dream like any human. But how do Scientists know did the ask different species of animals?

No they did not Animals can’t talk to us about their dreams. But humans wish they could talk to us like they do in the movies or books.

But Scientists need to be more smart than that to know Do Animals dream?

Researchers from Cambridge University studies conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to conclude that animals can dream. Animals can have very complex dreams about memories or moments while they were awake.
