I am sure they dream. Even as young as Callie was when I first brought her and Jumper home with me over 2 weeks ago. I noticed that Callie would plop over and sleep in front of the keyboard. Then, her little legs would begin to twitch and she would shake all over. After those episodes, she would wake up. Callie and Jumper could not be over 4 weeks of age. Although she still likes to sleep next to the keyboard, she does not have the "twitching dreams" she had when younger. It could be that she was dreaming of what she went through before being brought to, and while at the shelter, and that she was a REAL rescue, because of her and Jumper being slated for euthanization. Sometimes I wonder what they dream about, but what ever it is, I am assuming that, like any dreams we may have, they represent times and events that we remember. And Callie being so young she probably was recounting her stay at the shelter, with all of the dogs barking. Or perhaps when the keeper brought her and Jumper out for me to take, neither could see anything because of the clymedia in their eyes. And remembering how she cried out when I first placed her in my pet carrier. Since the 3 or 4 days at the shelter was somewhat traumatic for both of them, it could very well be that is what she was dreaming about.
