Do animals dream when they sleep?

They prbly fall asleep while reading. Then dream about reading a book. Multiple times waking up holding a book, quickly falling asleep again and dreaming about reading again. Ending up thinking the dreaming is actually being awake. After 2-3 hours of napping. You wake up. Realize the book you've been reading has been on the same page all the time. And that the story you've "read" makes no sense at all. The pages you've been reading wasn't actually reading. But dreaming looking at pages with symbols on them. Dreaming I am reading the continuation of the book, thus imaging what will happen next. Asleep brain being what it is. The dream makes no sense at all.

Being an animal is pretty troublesome....

Well, I know dogs dream as I have one dog that barks, runs and occasionally howls in his sleep. I'm like 99.9% sure that's not an involuntary spasm.

 

I seem to recall at some stage reading that birds dream as well, as they have REM sleep the same as mammals.

Pretty self-explanatory
