Do dogs dream? Two weeks ago, my husband (who is in the military) had to come home at 2am wearing all sorts of war gear (big helmet, bullet proof vest, and all sorts of gear). He did this every night for a week, and every SINGLE night, Meg (who had never barked before) went NUTS on the edge of the bed, barking and barking and barking. There was one or two nights last week where she started barking towards the door at 2am even though my husband was in bed with us. Then last night, she started up again. She actually ran to the front door entryway this time and kept barking and barking. I picked her up and carried her back into bed, but she just ran right back to the door again.

So is she dreaming that DH is walking through the door with all his gear on? I know some dogs run in their sleep or even sleepwalk, but Meg seems very awake and alert during all of this.

I should mention that I live in an apartment building and someone may have walked past the door at 2am, but I've asked a couple neighbors so far and everyone was fast asleep in bed at that time. It's a pretty quiet hallway.
