Cats like humans go through 2 different cycles of sleep

Deep sleep

REM sleep (rapid eye movement)

The rem cycle is when we dream (and hopefuly cats too!) Twitching can occur and usually the eyelids flicker or blink.

This is perfectly normal

Sometimes it's very freaky, my boy grinds his teeth and looks like he is going to leap out of his own fur whe he dreams like that, it's funny.

Yep, seen one of mine do this when dreaming too - as others have said, can be quite unnerving  :Crazy:

He's just dreaming - it's nothing to worry about, humans do it too sometimes.  :Luv:

Just dreaming!  Zephyr used to do it alot as a kitten he also used to make funny little twittering noises.  He would quiet often be asleep with his eyes half open/closed.

Personally I have not seen that sort of thing, you could always ring your vet tomorrow and have a word to see  is this is purrfectly normal  in some cats.

I need more advice please...

My cat is currently fast asleep next to me and he is dreaming as his legs and whiskers are twitching away.  the only problem is his eyes keep opening, exposing that third eyelid thingy and I can see his eyeballs rolling around behind it!!!  Whats that??? Is he ok?  He looks weird... 

I gently woke him up and he gave a little purr, a stretch and fell back asleep.  His eyes are properly shut now but should that have happened?
