[AmazonQueen]

My dog always has nightmares he is sleeping and he will bark out of the nowhere and start making noises, at first I was worried and I would hold him to let him know everything was ok but then I kinda just got used to it and just let him be.

I have never heard of them, but I guess its possible.

My dog has them too occasionally. She will make weird barking noises and sometimes flails her legs in her sleep
I usually wake her up because nobody likes nightmares. She goes right back to sleep after that.

well at least its not abnormal but he really isnt himself since rev(my dog) and i got back from my sisters its worrying me even my dad notices a huge diff

I don't think there's any need to worry about them. My dog gets them once in awhile, and she's just find. She yelps and twitches a bit, but I doubt they're doing her any harm.

My dog gets them. He makes sounds, barks in his sleep, moves his legs, etc. It's so adorable, but I wake him up sometimes when he has them. He will give me a sleepy look and promptly fall back asleep.

Sometimes they aren't actually nightmares they are just normal dreams.

My dog does this and she runs and barks and we always assume she is chasing rabbits in a big field.

There have been a few times when you can tell it is more of a nightmare because she is running faster and her barks are more scared. I guess this is her being chased by something. She usually calms down after a few minutes.

They're only dreams it won't hurt him.

My dog gets them quite often too and he starts shaking and making funny noises but I don't think it's anything to be worried about. I just say his name and then he'll wake up and be alright again.
