People often ask if animals dream. Some say yes, but their dreams are a repetition of events which strongly impressed them during their waking hours.
The fact is that animals dream, but their dreams are not a repetition of events which strongly impressed them during their waking hours. An animal, a bird, even an insect lives half in the astral and half in the physical plane, and when the animal sleeps he awakens totally in the astral plane and lives a total replica of his physical life.
For example, a bear's hibernation is not an unconscious period but a period of total astral activity. With his astral body the bear lives in the astral plane as he would live on the physical plane. Even he nourishes himself with astral foods. By nourishing his astral body during hibernation he nourishes his physical body and when his hibernation is over he awakens and continues the same life as if there were no difference between these two dimensions.
When animals are killed they suffer for a long time because after they leave their bodies they continue to experience the form of their dying in the astral plane.
Animals, of course, are affected by their physical experiences, for example, when they are beaten or left alone and hungry. But this is not only a physical experience for them. It is both physical and astral. A hungry dog when he sleeps is a hungry dog in the astral plane. The life of animals simultaneously runs both in the astral and physical planes with no difference whatsoever.
Some animals live more in the astral plane than in the physical plane. Some live more in the physical plane than the astral plane, but during sickness they withdraw to the astral plane in order not to feel the pain. Some animals, before they are shot or killed, escape to the astral plane to save themselves from experiencing the hardship of the process of dying in both planes. This is why killing animals causes them intense suffering.
