Do Animals Dream Like Humans? 🐶🧠💤

Описание: What if your dog’s twitching paws or your cat’s sleepy meows were more than just random movements — what if they were dreaming? 💤 In this episode, we explore the fascinating neuroscience behind animal dreams — from cats that act out their hunts in sleep, to rats replaying maze memories, to birds rehearsing songs in their slumber.

Discover how modern research reveals that REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep — the stage linked to human dreaming — is found across many species, suggesting that dreaming may be one of nature’s most universal mental experiences.

🐶✨ Whether it’s a dog chasing dream tennis balls, a finch practicing its melody, or even an octopus changing color mid-sleep — each animal might have its own kind of dream world.
