Ever watch a sleeping cat?

Their feet act out running; their faces display the hunt. I've always assumed that dreams (at least for animals) are a preparation - a honing of skills.

Could it be somewhat the same in human dreams?

 

i guess... my cat just looks like he's seizing..

 

my cat looks like she's just pissed off.

 

My cat twitches.

 

i watched accidently watched a cat throw up yesterday i herd her choke and nasty stuff came out it was one of the grossest things ever amy

 

I've never watched a sleeping cat (for starters, I'm allergic), but I imagine human dreams are the honing of skills as well. My guess is that cats are replaying things they've seen and experienced, sort of like downloading a whole lot of stuff from their minds. I'm convinced that human dreams operate in the same way.

 

My dog runs in her sleep and shows her teeth too.. Its cute.. MY cat just pushed me off the bed

 

I too believe they assimilate the lessons of the day. But, when you own a kitten or puppy that has no mom to teach it, they still learn in their dreams, and you know something 'higher' is at work. If dreams, in humans, are also a preparation, what are we preparing for - nothingness or somethingness?

 

We're being prepared for whatever comes in the future, and I tend to think of it as something.

 

Thanks, SageDreamer. I have a keen appreciation for a positive attitude in my fellow man. Sadly, too many on this forum believe in the nothingness - that we cease at death. I believe there is something on the other side. I've seen it out of the corner of my eye.
