The Mystery.

This morning, as I was having my quiet time, before starting my day, suddenly my large dog started to dream, and it was clear by her actions that she was running. She was running SO fast one of her back legs was touching one of her front legs, yet she still didn’t wake up.

The other six sleeping cats in the same room, didn’t wake up, as they are used to her occasional dreams.

Misty carried on running in her sleep, for another minute or so and then she stopped.

It did amaze, that she and I both dream. It got me thinking again, where do dreams come from? Why do we dream? She can never tell me her dreams, and now I am older, I don’t remember any of my dreams, when years ago, they were SO vivid, and sometimes came true.

I love Misty, she is a good girl, I could tell she was happy, so I had to conclude, she was in a field chasing something, or looking for food, that had been left for the birds.

Where would we be without dreams, that time to escape reality, to beable to travel and do things we can no longer achieve. I dream every night and look forward to my nightly conquests, moving from one scene to another in seconds.

I bet Misty was enjoying the run wherever it may have taken her.

You've touched on a subject that I'm really interested in.

Yes dreams they are good, yet SO strange ,  that we can have bad dreams, happy dreams, crazy silly dreams,  dreams that tell the future and for me personaly dreams that have come true on the night of both of my Mums parents, their deaths, in Jamaica and at that time I had never been to Jamaica, not until decades later did I go to Jamaica when I went twice, with my Husband and kids. Both those dreams which i have written about on this site was very disturbing to me.

But Misty sometimes she is barking in her dreams. The cats they too dream, not all of them, with their twitching paws and whiskers, Hotel snores he is our cat, when he is in a deep sleep

My Husband he dreams and when it wakes him up, he carrys on his dream from where it left off even if the dream is a nightmare or a nice dream. I have never had that experience where I carry on a dream that has woken me up and then go back to sleep and then carry it on. He has VERY vivid dreams, when it is bad he has to go downstairs and stay down there.

For me, it I am about to go to sleep, I will sudden have a soloution to a problem or a design of how to tie dye an item that I plan to do the next day, and then I fall off to sleep, but I am awake, and in the morning I try the soloution and I use the design that came into my head just before I went off to sleep.

Some people when they are troubled they   dream. Now if I am troubled I don't dream it is like I am too tired to dream. 

Thank you for your comments.

I think it's sometimes our brains replaying events, so maybe she was dreaming of happy runs in the past?

Yes I agree with you, it seems for Misty it was a nice event in her life.

I am pleased to read your evidence of animals dreaming too. Dreams are quite fascinating. I just wish I could write mine down, but they are gone before I can get the pen in my hand usually!

When you have any animal it is like an automatic study without even trying especially if you love them. Our 6 Cats have 6 different personalites (there is no spell  check in this section I wish there was) so often to me they seem almost human with their quirky ways.

My Husband has a note pad by his side of the bed for dreams he has a degree in Fine Art and he likes to make quirky things he is into making head masks huge things that you put your head inside it, he will see the face of it in his vivid dreams and draw it if he wakes up in the night or he will remember it.

My Daughter on the other scale of paper and pen she has her mobile next to her in dream mode so it records all her words throughout the night and she can then play it back and listen to what she has said while she has been asleep, nothing is missed,  She can even can hear me saying good night, late one night, to my husband downstairs while I am on the landing outside her bedroom!

I wish you Sweet Dreams. I agree dreams they are fascinating.

Yes our cats and our dogs dream, they both have SO many human qualities, I think it is just amazing to watch them.

Cats and dogs also cough like us, sneeze like us,  yawn like us, they even choke like us if they eat their food too quickly, and more.
