A fascinating study wherein spiders were observed as they sleep found that the creatures exhibit traits associated with dreaming. The remarkable research was reportedly the brainchild of German behavioral ecologist Daniela Robler, who was intrigued when she found that some jumping spiders which she had collected for a different experiment were suddenly motionless near the top of their enclosures. Initially thinking that the arachnids had died, she was amazed when she looked closer and realized that they were sleeping while hanging from a strand of their web, which was a heretofore unseen technique exhibited by the creatures.
