Do guinea pigs dream?

On a quiet afternoon a few days ago, I was happily knitting on my couch. From the couch, I can watch my piggies in their cage. At that time, they were sleeping. The two piggies usually sleep in separate pigloos.

Then suddenly, Hazel came running out of her pigloo and started wheeking really loudly... She had the "panic" look on her face, and was running left and right, not knowing where to go. Then she burst into Kopi's pigloo, waking Kopi up... Kopi had the "huh?" look on his face...

After a while, both went back to sleep, together in the same pigloo...

I had no idea what happened. There were no loud sounds or sudden movements... Shisheng said Hazel probably had a nightmare. I thought, "Do guinea pigs dream?" In retrospect, I did chase Hazel around a lot the previous night. Maybe that is why she had a nightmare... *guilty me*

Hazel, during happier times, when she is not chased around by my hand...

lol! funny!
I dunno if gps dream but my dogs do. I once had millie (who was lying on her side) dreaming she's at a park or something. her legs were 'running' in the air. but she was sleeping yes. mollie also once made funny sounds just like when she sees something interesting. but she was dreaming.
