do animals dream: of course they do
psychologytoday | From time to time people ask me if nonhuman animals (animals) dream.
Just this morning I received an email from Canada's Discovery Channel
flagship science and technology show "Daily Planet". I was asked to comment on a video of an English bulldog puppy dreaming and to answer a few questions on dreaming in animals.
I feel confident claiming that all mammals dream but this does not
mean that other animals do not dream. We really just don't know if they
do or not and we should keep the door open about this very challenging
question. Charles Darwin's ideas about evolutionary continuity
note that the differences among various species in anatomy, physiology,
behavior, and emotions, for example, are differences in degree rather
than kind. This basically means that the differences are shades of gray
and not stark, black and white, variations. So, following up on Darwin, I
like to say, "If we have or do something, 'they' (other animals) have
or do it too."
