I wrote a thoughtful post about this, explaining why animals, as far as we know, cannot LD because they lack self-awareness, live completely in a here & now world, do not have the necessary memory skills, etc, etc, etc. I even listed a couple of possible exceptions, like whales and higher primates. But then I erased it.

I simply felt this thread was just too silly to participate. Yes, guys, your dogs and cats certainly dream, but their existence in their dream is exactly the same as their existence in waking life, where they also lack the sentience needed to be lucid. It's not about intelligence, Hukif, it's about self-awareness.

I think the term is theory of mind, or anthropomorphism, but saying animals have LD's is giving them mental capabilities they simply do not have. Like it or not, with a few possible exceptions that are decidedly not house pets, animals are not like us. Sorry.
