How early do babies dream?

I swear DS talks in his sleep.

I have a hard time not craking up. I just went to check on him and he is actually talking, laughing and moving his legs, etc... Just like if he was awake.

Sophie -

I read somewhere that babies dream in utero!!!

I'm like - what could they possibly be dreaming about???

So, I am going to guess as soon as they come out, they must dream - how else can they process everything they have been through in their day?

ETA - that is so cute!!!!

That's so cute about your boy!

Even when she was just a few days old, DD would wimper and cry in her sleep, she wasn't awake. I would feel bad, thinking "what is so sad that she's dreaming about?". Maybe birth, that can't be a pleasant experience for them

I did some research after posting.

Apparently they can dream at 28 weeks in Utero. Amazing! I did read that babies are MUCH smarter than people think they are.
