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

It's one thing if they twitch and mumble a little -- this is something different and far more serious.
Looks to me like the dog is having seizures. The staggering and the odd barking is typical of the mental confusion that follows on a seizure.
They need to get the poor guy to the vet for some meds instead of just making movies and laughing at him . . . .
Yes! I get very upset that people sometimes don’t see the obvious... and agree that was more of a seizure-like action than dreams, especially the way the dog acted when he was standing there... breaks my heart.
I hate to see animals suffer, especially when they're frightened and confused because they don't know what's happening to them.
The good news is that there's probably not much memory of the seizure itself and the immediate aftermath (at least not in humans, and I don't see any reason dogs should be different).
Not at all, just a dream, just a dream, lol.
Years ago I read a number of books about NDE’s
[near death experiences].
Quite startling to read those books and especially with the subject was a child. People declared dead on an operating table and later they are able to describe in detail all that went on about them and even outside of that room!
Obviously my ‘falling’ dreams meant something and I feel that when I flew I had solved the problem??

Flap your arms potlatch!
You are cleared for takeoff on Runway 5!
Well, there were no Angels around me so that was one good thing.....
I didn’t see a second video.
OH wow, that doesn’t look like the dog is sleeping. I have to say, if that was my dog I would have them into the vet immediately. That really looked something like a seizure! Very disconcerting.
It really upset me... and I found it interesting it really upset one of my dogs when I was watching it, that told me my instinct about this being more serious was correct.
Cute corgi. What’s the other one?
He was a Malamute/Collie mix.
Cute poochies and their human is not so bad either.
Very cool looking dog!
He passed last year at the ripe old age of 16. His temperament and personality will be hard to duplicate. He was a wonderful friend. Unfortunately our Corgi is also a senior, tough times ahead.
I'm not sure, but I would guess that it involves running. I've seen our 13+ year-old (already well past the expected 'expiration date,' more power to him ;>) smooth collie, sound asleep with all four wheels in gear (not just recently, but for years & years). Hope it's a beautiful female collie he's chasing, or maybe a tired rabbit, but anyway you look at it, he's in hot pursuit!
He's a happy old guy, a bit creaky getting up after he's had a rest (spinal degeneration, according to the vet - he's on two prescription drugs), but he's still a 'play monster' (won't settle down at night without it ;>), won't let the squirrels into the yard while he's watching, and definitely still enjoys life.
Hope to heck I can keep up with him...
