Over nachtmerries
Do dogs have nightmares? [I added this paragraph a day after posting the rest of the article because so many reader’s comments were about their dogs having nightmares.] It seems very likely. Our experiences, the biological continuum between all mammals, and the emotional content of REM dreams, suggest that they do. So many of us have seen and heard dogs growl and whine while dreaming. I’ve had clients whose dogs woke up in a panic, sometimes even running across the room and trying to hide. Science teaches us to be “parsimonious” in our explanations of what we observe, and surely it is simpler to explain what we observe, and what we’ve learned about neurobiology to assume that dogs do indeed have nightmares until evidence appears that tells us that they don’t. I wouldn’t bet on that happening, myself. But it is also probably true that most of a dog’s dreams aren’t nightmares, and are either pleasant, or just bizarre. (And here’s the fun question: What do dogs think of their dreams? That’s the cognitive part of the equation, and that’s where we differ most from the mind of a dog. I suspect the answer to that question is going to take us a long time to answer!)
