Most of the pet lovers admit that the dogs act a lot like the human ones. Talking during sleep is a common characteristic that dogs share with humans. If you see your pet crying or making other voices in sleep, it means he is hallucinating about something that happened earlier that day or the thing that dog has done that day. It is natural; therefore, do not awaken your dog if he's crying or sleeping. If you interrupt in his sleep, then it not only affects his health but can bite you unintentionally.

Can a dog dream?
Dreams occur due to the electrical impulses in the brain that can become active during sleep. The same technique can be applied to our canine companions. Scientists have discovered that we are more similar to our furry friends. You can use an electroencephalogram to test the brain activity during a dog's sleep to determine whether your pet is dreaming or something different.
How to determine your dog is dreaming
If your dog is in a deep sleep, then there will be more chances for your furry baby to dream. This type of sleeping is not very quick so, dogs do not dream during a quick power nap. Your dog shows irregular breath and rapid eye movements.
Dogs react subconsciously to dream images like humans in their sleep. You can hear a growl, whimper, whine, or purr. He can also show movements with legs; dogs also bark in their sleep when they are dreaming.
What to do dog dream about
Scientists perform a different test to figure out what dogs might dream of. Pons a part of the brain is responsible for controlling the sleep cycle and the regulation of the deep sleep. It also inhibits the muscles from moving during sleep. If Pons does not work in the brain, we will act out everything dreaming about. It may be disastrous.
Most of the puppies and older dogs twitch and move a lot during their sleep because Pons is less developed in puppies and less efficient in older dogs. The same is true for infants and older adults in humans.
Discovering what your dog is dreaming about is to disable the Pons during REM sleep temporarily. Now the dog will act out his dream.
Dogs often dream doggy things, and their dreaming pattern is the same as in humans.
It is estimated in research that the frequency of dreaming in dogs depends on their size. A poodle dog can show the signs of dreaming up to once every ten minutes while a dog having the size of a golden retriever can dream once every 90 minutes.
