Insects, fish, and other animals that aren't true sleepers dont dream. Nor do reptiles. Birds dream only for short times, but all mammals dream. The mammal whose manner of sleeping and dreaming most closely resembles ours is the chimpanzee. There are some differences, however. After sunset, a chimp looks for a good firm place in a tree.
