Mouse?

I had a dream last night in which I had to protect a mouse from a small child with razor sharp teeth. After lots of running around after this damn mouse, making sure it didn't end up bitten in half, I came across some kind of mechanical bird which managed to persuade the child to leave the poor creature alone, which was a relief as it meant that I could now wake up. By this point the mouse had shrunk to the size of a silverfish and was now slithering around on the walls. The lesson here, if there is one, is don't fall asleep listening to nightmarish ambient electronica.
