Yes, it is scientifically proven that dogs dream. All mammals dream. It is a mysterious process as to WHY mammals dream, but we do actually know what they probably dream of. Many experiments have been done that link a rat's daily activities with the brain waves and motions of their dreams. Dreams tend to revolve around searching for food and fleeing from predators. It might have something to do with the brain's need to do maintenance during downtime, rather like when you run a program on your computer that cleans up unused files and maximizes the efficiency of your hardware. It could also be a different kind of wakefulness, where the mnemonic brain creates exchanges with the more primitive brain for a kind of "training session." Nobody really knows. Well, good question. the world may never know, I bet all animals do.
Scientists learned that by observing their Rapid Eye Movement (REM), which also occurs in humans when they dream.
You should not to disturb a dog or any other animal or human during REM sleep. It disrupts the resetting of the brain that is done during that period of rest. It can look a bit upsetting, but just leave them be and they will be fine.

What does it mean when you dream about dogs trying to get in the house?
The little dogs in the dream symbolize something that feels as if it is taking over the dreamer's life. But the actual meaning depends on how the dreamer feels about little dogs: are they adorable? messy? revolting? terrifying? cuddly? Are these dogs welcome in the house, or does it feel like an invasion? Those feelings express the dreamer's emotions about whatever the little dogs represent in real life.

Dogs do not dream about bananas. They all dream they are back to their primordial wolf pack origins. They imagine they all have wolf heads and run down Elk, Antelope, and even Moose. Oddly, they dream of having a wolf head which is not a stretch for a German shepard but looks funny on a Chihuahua or Weiner Dog.
