Dreamers

There's nothing better than a mid-afternoon nap.

Eyes closed, sleeping standing up...

or lying down...

peacefully dreaming...

until the neighbor decides to cause a ruckus.

And suddenly your peaceful slumber is over.

Horses can sleep standing up, however this sleep is not REM sleep,

but is rather SWS (short wave sleep).

In order to achieve REM sleep, horses must lie stretched out on their sides.

Did you know that just like humans and dogs...

horses dream?

They also can have leg movements during dreaming as if they are running...

much like dogs do.

What do you suppose horses dream about?

I know what pigs dream about.

Food!
