Now that the DOW seems to have recovered today I thought we could have some fun, my only question is, what do dogs dream about, here is proof that dogs dream, and even run into walls while dreaming, hmmm

Saw that on Fox, it was hysterical! That poor dog had no clue what had happened!
Dogs chase their tails.
Not any different from me in the morning.
My puppy wags her tail when she dreams. I think that she is dreaming about food. Food is her favorite!
LOL, that was hilarious!
In humans, a neurological mechanism to trigger partial paralysis during REM sleep was supposed to have evolved when humanoids that dwelled in trees fell off and died, when they physically acted out their dreams.
How many of you have experienced a frightening paralysis when you are in REM sleep (dreaming) and aware of it (lucidity)? Usually happens in the early mornings.
I loved to watch my dogs ‘chasing rabbits’ and ‘woofing’ in their sleep. It’s sooooo cute!
The old dog here in our office runs while sleeping and barks so loudly sometimes I wonder how he keeps from waking himself up.
The DOW has recovered? You mean it regained the 2500 points lost since Hussein was elected?
My cat makes funny noises when she’s sleeping. Sometimes, it sounds like meows. I do a doubletake at her when that happens to make sure I’m hearing her.
“How many of you have experienced a frightening paralysis when you are in REM sleep (dreaming).”
It’s why nightmares portrayed in movies are so absurd. They always toss around and then sit up with a start. Never happens. A nightmare or any dream is experienced when you are unable to move at all.
Ping!
My Labs sucks and kneads sometimes.
I think she was a very contented puppy.
My most frightening nightmare is just that, I am paralyzed and cant do anything about whatever is about to happen. Jeez, I thought I was crazy. First time I ever heard of someone else going through that. It’s like I’m trying to move but my body won’t let me. Verry Scarrry....
My dog is over 16 yrs old. She can’t hardly walk anymore, but she runs for miles in her sleep! I get exhausted just watching her!
“My most frightening nightmare is just that, I am paralyzed and cant do anything about whatever is about to happen.”
I used to have them in college, the result of stress. They are called night terrors.
That is sweet....yes, dogs do dream.
