Sleeping octopuses might experience fleeting dreams – new study – The Conversation UK
Colour-changing patterns in snoozing octopuses are characteristic of two alternating sleep states.

The video went viral. Millions were instantly mesmerised by Heidi in her slumber, particularly because the narrator speculates that shes having a vivid dream dreaming that shes hunting and eating a crab, like a snoozing dog chasing dream rabbits.
