What role do dreams play in the lives of animals, if any?

Question

Please answer correctly.

Answer 1

Dreams may be your brain's way of helping you process the emotions you experience during the day. After a particularly tough day, your brain sifts through the jumble of emotions, deciding what to hold onto and what to let go.

Answer 2

Dreams likely play a similar role in the lives of animals as they do in humans. Research suggests that animals, particularly mammals and birds, experience REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is when dreams occur. It is believed that dreaming helps animals process information, consolidate memories, and potentially practice behaviors in a safe environment. However, since animals cannot communicate their dreams to us, the exact role of dreams in their lives is still not fully understood.
