Dreaming

What is it that dogs dream about? Why do dogs dream? Is it for the same reasons that people dream? Not that I entirely know what those are either... Some postulate that people's dreams are the mind's way of answering our questions or the mind's method of processing and learning from our daily events and actions. Others claim that dreams are just random, meaningless synapses firing away while our body is inactive. But what about dogs? Are Abby and Sam currently subconsciously solving the problems in their lives? What problems might those be? How to get more kibble? What to do about the US economy? Discovering the meaning of life?

It seems to me that dogs ARE the answers to most of our questions, if we just listen to them. Maybe they're downloading information for us while they are breathing deeply and twitching... Maybe their dreams are part of our dreams... Maybe they're dreaming for us...

I'm going to dream on it...
