I think its a coincidence. Just because he's making noise doesn't mean he's having a nightmare though.
The last 2 times I woke up in the middle of the night due to a nightmare, Oliver has been having one. When I wake up, I hear his mumbled sleep-cry. Do you think that even though he is sleeping, he can sense my distress from my nightmare and that causes him to have one?? Or just coincidence that we have nightmares at the same time?
Don't allow your happiness to be interrupted by overly judgmental people. The problem is not you, because even if you do good all the time, they would still find a way to judge you wrongly.

How on earth can you know what he's dreaming about?
And conversely, how on earth would HE know what you're dreaming about???
I sincerely doubt that he was channeling your dreams, and I even more sincerely doubt if he was having a nightmare just because he was "whimpering and crying."
On an unrelated note, why be so argumentative? You asked, someone responded, you don't like the answer so you throw it back in her face? Please, if you don't want an opinion, which may very well disagree with yours, then don't ask.

Oh I think they have bad dreams just like people but the muffled whimpering and crying isn't an indication. Hemi does this all the time. I can usually tell what his dream is by how he acts when he wakes up. Same sounds for both types of dreams. If he wakes up uneasy and cautious and looking around with a worried look. Then I take that as awakening from bad dream. If he wakes up from and is smiling and stretching and like oh dad I love you which is probably 99% of the time. Then it was a good dream.

I'm pretty sure your dog can't read your dreams, but I do believe dogs have dreams that are both good and bad. Chopper was wagging his tail yesterday evening while he was sleeping. LOL... I'm pretty sure he wasn't having a nightmare.

I bet whoever is sleeping is hearing the dream sounds the other one is making and it gets into their dream, or nightmare, too. I bet we have all had dreams (good or bad) with a sound in them only to waken and find there is a real sound. The phone, a siren, a tree branch rubbing on the roof in the wind.

Snowshow nailed it!

I was asking a question and explaining why I felt he was dreaming in case I didn't make myself clear before. The person that responded made it sound like they didn't believe a dog could have a bad dream and I was getting clarification on that. If you feel they don't have bad dreams, fine. I do. I don't understand why it is such a crime to have an opinion that differs. Isn't that the point of these things? To have a normal, healthy conversation about differing opinions? Why does everyone get so offensive because I have an opinion or ask a question? Jeez people, get off my back! There are 3 or 4 of you that argue with everything I say and I have no idea why but it is getting overwhelming. Just stop, please.
