While dog owners hope their canine companions sleep soundly. They have come to terms with the fact that they can never really understand what goes on in their minds. The good news for dog lovers everywhere is that a Harvard psychologist claims to have the answers we’ve all been looking for.
Dr. Deirdre Barrett is a clinical and evolutionary psychologist at Harvard Medical School. According to her, dogs probably dream about their daily experiences in a similar way to people. So there’s a good likelihood they’re dreaming about their owners.
Humans dream about the same topics they are interested in during the day, just more vividly and less logically, she said in an interview with People. No basis exists to believe that animals are any different. Your dog is probably dreaming of your face and your fragrance. And how to please or annoy you because dogs are typically quite attached to their human owners.
Although it’s impossible to tell for sure what a dog is dreaming about, according to Dr. Barrett. It’s likely that when their paws or legs start to quiver or when they start barking, they are dreaming about running or interacting with humans or other dogs. According to her, most animals experience stages of light, deep, and REM sleep in a manner comparable to that of humans.
