Good question. |

A simple question, I wonder if more intelligent animals could lucid dream? |
|
Good question. |

Would a cat have enough self-awareness, they're the smartest animal besides us and monkeys. All animals dream though and you didn't answer my question. |

"MementoMori, the lucid machine"
"There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."
That would be funny to catch your pet reality checking. Like a dog trying to put his paw through the other or trying to pinch it's nose. |

Nobody knows what animals dream about, because we can't really communicate with them in a sophisticated enough way in order to get that info from them, but I would guess that animals dream about things from their daily animal lives, perhaps with a quirky dreamy twist to them. Basically not unlike how we dream. I'd seen my dad's late mutt in REM cycles a couple times, and his body seemed to be twitching...perhaps he was dreaming about running around outside, possibly chasing some little rabbit or squirrel. |

No dream goals at the moment...just flying and letting stuff happen is kinda fun, and it's hard to motivate myself to try LDing lately.
This is quite an old video, but would suggest that dogs have dreams on some level (and very poor SP ) |

So I had my first OBE the other day... I was completely beside myself!
Ha, I used that video a couple of weeks ago in my psychology class for my dream presentation. The whole room bursted out laughing. |

Go insane for me, I'm that selfish you see
We're a wicked rhyme, a line followed
By the darkest picture, making everyone cry
I believe they would dream about situations that may concern them, much like we do. but they might dream about being chased by predators, or maybe exploring |
|
In order for an animal to lucid dream, they would have to know what dreaming is. |
|
I know for a fact dogs dream...I've caught many of the dogs I have had over the years trying to run and whimpering for some reason....I'm pretty sure they're probably nightmares when that happens lol...I dunno. |
