I had two cats and one dog before. I think animals have dreams. I remember when they were sleeping, sometimes they made some sounds and sometimes they were chewing as if they were having food. That's very cute.

I have watched dogs and cats sleeping and I think they have dreams.

All warm-blooded animals are dreaming, birds included. My previous cat was often hunting or fighting during his dreams and was giving scratches in the air.

Perhaps it also shows warm-blooded are smarter.

@prashu228 I have not read any book, but there are a lot scientific studies about that since about 20 years. Here a link to one of these studies, done by the MIT. It is usually admitted that cold-blooded animals do not dream, but there are some recent researches questioning that.
Study may advance understanding of human learning and memory.

I think they do dream. At times they growl in their sleep.

I think most of their dreams may concern about eating and playing

I'm sure they do. I love a dog or cat running in their sleep, making those little yipping noises and moving their legs, lol. I haven't noticed my birds seeming to have dreams, but I sure have noticed it in dogs and cats I've had.

It seems my dogs had excited dreams than my cats as my cats usually slept quietly.

Yes they do, one hound dog would bark and his feet would be moving like he was running.

Yes I do think dogs at least have dreams. Harleys tail will wag when she is sleeping or she will move her legs like she is running. It is all very cute.

I think they do too. I have watched cats with their eye lids moving and tales wagging.

Yes they do. Mine often dreams and he is asleep on his mat but running and wagging his tail and sort of barking at the same time.

When I watch my Sophie sleep she looks so peaceful and I wonder if she is dreaming about something nice.

I believe they do. My dog Jasper will be whimpering and move his legs while he is sleeping. I assume he is dreaming about running.
