and bark. Some observers of sleeping animals have concluded that these motions and vocalizations accompany dreams related to recent experiences" (258). Griffin and Gould both agree that body movements relates to the animals dreaming but they both say it "suggests" that they are dreaming. This leads to me to wonder if I should believe that animals do dream according to body movements. The last book resource was on the position of animals when the sleep. This book was very informative and interesting. According to Feldman, "At night elephant's lie down on their sides and go to sleep. But after two or three hours they are no longer comfortable on the ground. They wake up and rock themselves back and forth until they are on their feet again. If they are still tired, the elephants will finish their sleep standing up" (3). Although this book does not say if the animals are dreaming while sleeping in the positions, it is still informative on the position of the animals. It does make you wonder if they could be dreaming while they sleep in these positions. Sea otters sleep floating in the water after wrapping themselves in strands of seaweed. These seaweed ties keep the otters from drifting away with the sway of the sea (Feldman 14). The next animals in the book bring me to my next question "Do fish sleep and dream?" The parrot fish has a bubblelike covering that oozes out of the fish's skin. Each night, it can take as long as half an hour for the fish to produce its blanket. And it will take the fish the same amount of time to get free of this slimy covering in the morning (Feldman 18). The octopus is an underwater daytime sleeper. When the sun's rays filter down to the ocean floor, the octopus snuggles into a cave. Sometimes, the octopus wedges a shell in front of the cave's opening as if it were closing a bedroom door (Feldman 5). Another fish is the jewelfish, the father and mother fish work together to get their young...
