Would that be surprising, or shouldn't that be the default assumption that they dream similar like us?
I would swear I have experienced bad dreams of my cat, with abrupt movements and mumbled sounds, and then when waking or woken up immediately relaxing or even coming cuddling for comfort, very similar as with my human partner. Also dreaming in general, not just nightmares, is well observable sometimes.
I believe I have read similar stories of other's with cats&dogs, too?
