I was unconscious, and having a very vivid dream, when it decided to give me a pet rat named Snuffles in the dream. The teacher was gave the different groups of students each a rate with a different kind of cancer in animal biology as a group project to surgically remove the tumors for a grade next lab. I got to take care of the rat till the next lab day.

I tried to study rat anatomy at the library, but kept panicking because Snuffles would occasionally stop moving in my pocket. I managed to get some notes, but overall wasn't very successful. I brought the notes back to the lab and the rest of the group was upset that I didn't get more information because apparently nobody else studied and they were expecting me to carry.

During the actual operation, everyone was understandably anxious and upset. I had to explain to one of them why they couldn't remove the "flaps" on the sides of the lungs and that they weren't tumors. Since the tumor was on his spleen, we made our best efforts to find the spleen on a rat but the anatomy made no sense. I doubt we were successful, because it cut to a scene with a song about his final thoughts and what he was hallucinating under anesthesia.

(Sweats profusely, my gremlin typing thumbs trembling over the keyboard... praying to a faceless absent god for maturity and restraint...)

Me anyway: "HAHA! I'TS A CO-"
