my puppy seems to have nightmares a lot. He could wake up when it is dead silent and start barking. or be barking in his sleep. sometimes he is really spooked after he wakes up.
happens to my dog everytime she goes to sleep, she will whine, run, move her eyes, and even tried to nurse one time in her sleep, they are just dreaming, just like we do.
Dogs definitely do dream and even have nightmares. It won't hurt him. If you hear him barking in the middle of the night, just pet him and tell him everything is okay.
Well, you could try praying for her before you go to sleep. It might help. Pray for peace all over her to calm her and give her a restful night sleep, and, massage her to calm her,too.
