  • Anything that causes your dog to breathe in a different manner than usual can cause him to make strange noises in his sleep. This includes laryngeal paralysis, heart failure, excess tissue in the throat and mouth, foreign objects, edema and a discharge of fluid, such as pus or blood.

"When dogs make noises, or twitch their muscles or eyelids, it's likely that they are in a deep stage of sleep, which is shared by humans called REM (rapid eye movement)," Thompson said.

"Their whimpers and noises during sleep may be much like the ramblings of humans when they sleep-talk."
