Did you know that over 50% of the world’s population owns a pet? This means that if you are reading this article there is a high chance you own a pet, or have done so in the past.
Whatever your situation, have you ever wondered “do animals dream?”. If they do, what are they dreaming about?
This article will cover these burning questions. We hope to provide you with a better understanding of your pet and to give your burning queries the answers they deserve!
There has been a lot of research conducted on the concept of dreams within humans from top researchers around the world.
Summarised: dreams are a long chain of images and stories that are made by the human mind when humans are asleep.
Now does the same apply to animals?
The answer is yes, animals are able to dream! If you hear your dog or cat muttering whilst they are asleep you now know why.
Human’s dreams have been studied for over 200 years now, with thinkers like Sigmund Freud & Carl Jung lending their thoughts to early thinking to the science of sleep.
However, only in the last 20 years has there been research on animal’s dreams.
Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology were the earliest contributors to this grey area in 2001. They found that, “Animals have complex dreams and are able to retain and recall long sequences of events while they are asleep”.
This follows a very similar path to that of humans.
Animal’s sleep is just as important as human sleep. It is important to consider the positive and negative outcomes of sleeping with your pet. After all animals deserve to dream too!
There are a few pros and cons to consider for both your pet and yourself when sleeping together…
Pros:
You are able to build a stronger relationship with your pet
Single pet owners have reported better sleep when sharing a bed with their pet
Cons:
Pets can be fidgety causing your quality of sleep to be decreased
Animals can cause allergies for some owners

We are very pleased with our headboard. We looked at similar ones in bed stores which were at least 3 times the price so we were a bit dubious. But this was unfounded as the quality and finish is excellent. It is solidly made and very heavy. It was made to order. The communication was excellent from order to delivery. It arrived on time and very well wrapped/protected. We would happily buy from Magna Beds again and would recommend.
