Michelle: My Little Friend

Updated: Aug 30, 2020


I am walking into a school. I'm wearing a very heavy backpack full of books and a large water bottle. I reach into my pocket and pull out what looks like a rolled up roly poly. However, as I examine and poke at it, the thing unrolls into a normal-sized white hamster with a little pink nose. I am shocked! I pet it and stroke its back. It is very cute! :) I notice that the hamster rolls up into the ball whenever it gets startled, so I decide to let it roll up and keep it in my backpack until I leave school. I put it in the small front pouch of my backpack, hoping it wouldn't get lost in there. The school has the same layout as the high school I went to, and I end up walking into the classroom of my teacher KB. When I walk in, the room is crowded with various teenagers. KB is there, but he is very thin and has outrageous hair, similar to what I would expect a singer in a hair band from the 80's to have!

The dream cuts to me trying to leave class. Everyone has left, but a woman in the room (who I understood to be KB's girlfriend) keeps talking to me and cracking jokes. I'm trying to politely tell her I need to leave. KB walks up to us and says he wants to show us his new dance. He proceeds to do a weird dance where he just sways his body like seaweed. His distraction allows me to run out of the classroom and get on the bus. I realize that my water bottle has completely spilled inside my backpack and all of the books have slouched forward, squishing the front part of the backpack! I dig around in the small pouch and pull out the hamster, still rolled up. Its "shell" looks squished, and when I tap it and gently pet it, nothing happens. I start to worry that my little friend drowned or was squished to death- or both! I start to feel very sad, when I see a small, pink nose gently peek out from the squished shell. I also see the shell start to slightly unroll. I am thankful my little buddy is okay! Then I woke up!
