Can chameleons sleep walk?

[Lamour]

My cham is on a regular 8am-8pm schedule. He went to bed on time, all comfy and ready to sleep. The lights were turned out so he had darkness and his temps are normal. About 3 hours later now he started walking around. I checked on him and his eyes are still completely closed but he was moving! So I am wondering can chams sleep walk or have nightmares?

I wonder whats up with this too. One of my chameleons sleeps upside down on the top of its enclosure and moves around all night long.

They can definitely have dreams, or at least I believe. All animals have a mind of there own, therefore making them dream. But hey, if we sleepwalk, why cant they?

I've seen dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters sleep walk, so I believe they could. I wonder whether or not they do this in the wild, or if it is a domesticated thing??

one of my hamsters gets out of bed immediately if he hears his food bowl being filled, but he doesn't bother opening his eyes- just fills his pouches and stumbles back to bed lol

Sometimes Neelix will go to sleep in 1 place & then in the morning he's sleeping soundly at the other end of his cage.

Yeah he ended up getting stuck under a fake plant after I posted this. So I carefully moved and set him on another branch, he opened his eyes for a second but wouldn't move at all. Then he just kept switching from lying down to sitting up all night

I think they must dream and stuff. He freaked out when he got stuck even though he was still asleep, he must have thought he was getting attacked
I've also caught him a couple times moving his eyeballs around even though his eyes were closed still.
