Big dreamer or siezures?

[Louie and me]

I love it when my old dog Louie dreams. His legs are going a mile a minute and his nose twitches as if he is smelling something. His mobility is so limited when he is awake, I imagine him running pain free and enjoying all the scents wherever his dream takes him.

My puppy, Sooner, is about 9 weeks or so, and she is a big dreamer, too....not all of the time, but when she does, her whole body gets to going! I think they just sleep so soundly, just like little kids....

Digi currently sleeps quietly 90% of the time. Every now & then her paws twitch, lips twitch, eyes open, nose twitch, & sometimes her tongue falls out or she'll move it around inside her mouth a lot.

When I first got her she had horrid nightmares as shes was abused & neglected before 6 weeks of age by horrid owners She would scream in her sleep & far far far too many times she would scream bloody murder in her sleep & run as fast as she can & slam into whatever was infront of her, which would scare her even more & cause her to scream more & run wildly in the apt in pure fear. I always followed her trying to calm her & she she would stop running in fear I could pick her up & she would be shaking & clinging onto me with her front paws with HUGE eyes... Poor baby I think her last nightmare like that was when she was 6 months old (now 2.5yrs old).

Now she likes to sleep on the bed cuddled close to me & the odd time she'll sleep on my back, which is very painful as shes nothing but pointy bones.. ouch! lol

My dogs do the same thing and often they will have their eyes slightly open. I know they're dreaming because I give a loud cough and see them snap out of it for a few seconds and then they go back to sleep and start dreaming again. I think most dogs dream that they are chasing big game or something.

Sam and Springen have dreams like that sometimes... so much so that I also get freaked out and wake them up!! Have you ever seen this video?

Poor thing, but he was just dreaming! They've got several videos of this dog running and barking in it's sleep.
