Demon and Pudge dream a LOT. And movement and audibles range from
running in place (on their sides), paw twitching from the wrist,
barking, howling, whining, and sometimes even yelping.

When I hear whining and yelping I wake them up gently as it almost
makes me want to cry to think they are being tormented in their sleep.
I rescued them from a horrible situation when they were puppies because
I wanted to see them receive better care, that is why it bothers me.
Anyway...

Every thing I found on "dog" and "dreams" or "dreaming" came up with
analytical papers or research not relating to anything medical.

Is there cause to be concerned if they have extremely animated and
audible dreams?

Thanks.

Enjoy it and smile, they are probably chasing a rabbit in their dreams or
playing

......leave them alone when they're sleeping. How do you know they're being
tormented? They're probably chasing cats!

.......dogs don't hold grudges, don't wake up every day remembering what
their situation was 1 home ago. That's a human thing. Try to be more like
your dog. Wake up every day looking forward to breakfast. Don't dwell on
yesterday.

I do not. But I would rather be safe than sorry. And of course
chasing cats is not acceptable. *glances over at the kitten* Haha.

Seriously though, I just cannot understand why they would be yelping.
They only do it while awake if they get scared or hurt. So it made
sense to me that they feel scared or as if they are being hurt in
their dreams.

I could be wrong.

Is there somewhere I can find information on that theory? I have not
found much in the way of that subject and my experience is that
animals (at least dogs) do indeed remember what has previously
happened to them.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.

...........Didn't say they don't remember, said they don't dwell on it like
humans do. They may have reactions that are in response to something that
happened to them in the past, but I doubt it's giving them nightmares.

2 things I would like to point out:

1. You said they "don't wake up every day remembering what their
situation was 1 home ago."

2. I did not say that I thought their past experiences were giving
them nightmares. Just that I do not wish to see them tormented in
their sleep.

Thanks for all your feedback though, I do appreciate it.

My dog does that all the time. She looks like she is running, and every
once in awhile she makes a little wince. I always feel she is dreaming of
her run through the forest. That is her favorite time of the day. It is
quite a picture to see her joyfully running freely through the tall pine
trees. That is all I think those dreams are about. I never feel they are
bad dreams.

Thanks for that beautiful thought. I am going to just go with it
like diddy, buglady, and you suggest...

....let it go and hope they are having awesome dreams instead of poopy
ones.

I will just chock it up to mood swings if I feel a twinge of sadness
when I hear them yelp.

Thanks, pfoley!
