Does your dog "talk" in his/her sleep?

[MissMillie]

Audry ('lil Sweet) does.

I don't know how to describe it except maybe to compare it to someone w/ the hiccups, or maybe something akin to a closed-mouth bark.

It makes me wonder what she's dreaming about. I sure hope they're good dreams.

1. My cat sometimes chatters like at the birds while he's sleeping

This is why I always think that our dreams have no significance at all really. If cats and dogs dream

14. I have

had several cats that do that. I always imagine they are dreaming about birds. My first cat I had would have bad dreams sometimes. She would wake up run up beside me and hide under the covers. Not sure what she was dreaming about that would scare her.

2. My cat, Bunny, talks to me all the time while awake.

I answer, then he talks some more. His inflection and tone mimics human voice.

3. Yes, they lightly yip.

And also, they move their little paws like they're running in their sleep.

[SheltieLover]

4. Yes

He yips, often while "running."

8. My dog too!

[Harker]

5. Yes, both Tosca the Husky and Lily the Jack Russell Terror

have twitchy, woofy dreams.

Additionally, Lily has growly dreams where she's facing off with those pesky squirrels.

6. Jack Russell "Terror"

That's very funny.

Our Rat Terriers are often confused for Jack Russells. I don't see a big similarity between the breeds, but I can't vouch for what other people see.

[Harker]

9. She earned it.

Yeah, I suppose the similarities outweigh the differences to the casual observer.

There's a hybrid Jack-Rat, too.

Seldom a dull moment with a terrier around.

7. Old dogs make more noises. People too.

10. When I was a kid, my family had a Chihuahua that would "bubble" in his sleep.

He had a little "house" just off the kitchen, and we'd hear him making a "bubble" -like bark when he was sleeping quite often.

It was always funny to hear.

[Chainfire]

11. My dog snores, and "talks." Many times the subdued barks are accompanied by her feet moving as if

running. I hope that in her dreams she is finally able to catch that dastardly squirrel.

[GentryDixon]

12. Yes. I call it chasing rabbits. 🐰🐰

13. My old dog Samson used to do that.

One night I was up late. I couldn't sleep so I put Animal Planet on. The show was called The Dogs of Alaska. Samson was probably a Newfie, but he was small for a Newfie. He was lying on his side, sound asleep. The dogs on the TV started howling at the moon. Samson joined right in with them, but he never woke up. As soon as it was over on the TV he stopped as well. I tried not to burst out laughing as I didn't want to wake everyone else up in the house.

15. My boy kitty Stanley drools and chirps in his sleep, his paws move when he does it. Seems

peaceful and enjoyable to him, his breathing doesn't increase or anything that would show stress?
