Guest jupiterooos Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Track dreams are normal for greys. Obvy. But of late Angler has been having really long, intense ones. He wakes us up at least once a night with the noise. And not that I timed them or anything, but it seems to me that they have become longer. Last night's dream went on for almost ten minutes! Can this be a symptom of some sort? He's got his yearly checkup and vaxes soon, but I thought I'd ask here anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFullHouse Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don't think so. I think the older they get the deeper they sleep and dream. Valentino runs marathons lately in his sleep.

Guest Audeamus Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I let Gir dream through them. I figure that if dog's sleep cycles are anything like a human's sleep cycle it sucks to wake them up during rem sleep/dream sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KennelMom Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Track dream? What's that? Our never-seen-a-track puppy dreams the same way our retired racers do. I don't wake them up. I don't think we can possibly know what they're dreaming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ashmore721 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Enzo has them pretty often, some longer and more intense than others. I usually coax him awake with a soft voice and a gentle rub on the head. Does he sleep in the bed with y'all or on the floor? Enzo always has one of his paws literally on me when he sleeps during the day and I try to keep one of my hands over him if I can...it tends to help him. I can imagine how difficult that must be, I hope it gets better for you. Let us know how things progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubcitypam Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why is it a track dream? I've had beauty school dropouts that never raced and a poodle cry and move their legs in their sleep. I generally let them go, but by five minutes (and probably a lot less) I'll call out and wake them...sort of like nudging the SO for snoring.

GreyTzu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Track dream? What's that? Our never-seen-a-track puppy dreams the same way our retired racers do. I don't wake them up. I don't think we can possibly know what they're dreaming... Exactly!! : :nod Our 'Tzu, Rocky, dreams all the time too. I'm pretty sure he has never even seen a race track. Especially since we got him when he was like 5 months old. But, you know, I suppose, it is possible that perhaps, once, when he was a tiny puppy, he might have caught a glance of a race track during his few months of life before we got him. I'm sure it was such a terrifying experience for a tiny puppy that, 11 years later, he is still having nightmares about it. :rofl Quote Wendy and The Whole Wherd.

Guest greytkidsmom Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Its a little off topic but we like to imagine that our goofy Lucas is galloping through a field of flowers singing "la la la" to himself aloud during his dreams. His dreams are short-lived, like his attention span so no need to interrupt them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jupiterooos Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I know the dreams aren't necessarily about track racing, but that's the common vernacular, so it's what I used Angler was an absolutely dismal racer, though, so I like to think of him as winning in his dreams.

They get woken up! <img I work and go to school as well. Maybe I cherish my sleep more? Who knows... but my husband gets up at 5 am and we really need all the sleep we can get... So, if it lasts 30 seconds, I don't wake them up, but when it's going into the minutes and doesn't seem to be ending, yes of course we wake them up. So the whole house can sleep. They are in our room, so it's pretty loud. And because of the "faux running", our walls are pretty marked up! Oh well, it's only sheetrock. Edited to try to figure out what all that funny "code" is in my replies. Strange! Edited February 10, 2012 by verthib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Catherine Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 OFF topic--but my 10 year old boy dog had (only time I have EVER seen this in all my years with dogs) a very clear sex dream the other night. He was clearly humping and humping and he was also clearly excited. It really grossed me out but I figured that well, poor guy has been neutered for 6 years so this might get be the closest he gets so I just left the room. It was one time I knew EXACTLY what he was dreaming of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
