General Care Discussion :: Does RES dream?

Taking care of your turtle's overall health.

Post Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2011 8:22 am   Does RES dream?

I like to observe my RES while it is sleeping. Sometimes, it will shake its head while sleeping.
I find its behavior quite interesting. Maybe it is having a dream. Does anyone observe such behavior?

Well I haven't, but reptiles do not dream. They do not have any brain activity while sleeping.

They have to have some basic brain activity... heart, breathing etc. Dunno about dreams though.

EDIT: Found this after my post: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sumer_anunnaki/reptiles/reptiles14.htm

skimmed through it.. seems like an interesting read.

I think Sheldon dreams, cause he randomly does his superman basking pose. I think he's dreaming of sunbathing! :lol:

Maybe not, but it's fun to imagine.

That is a VERY strange article! Informative, but a strange connection to Illuminati and other off the wall examples in there! Wow lol

It did say reptiles don't dream though :roll:

Yeah I was playing a "Who Want's To Be a Millionaire" game with my dad and the question was "When do Reptiles Dream?" and the choices where "On their Belly", "Never", "All the time", and "Only during Brumation". Answer was never.
