hair dresser, surgery and mini horses

My last dream, I was at a hopital. I was there to get some sort of odd surgery on my heart, although there was nothing wrong with my heart. It was more of a preemptive surgery. I was pretty calm about it. I went in and my doctor was the one I had when I was little, Schluderman. When I was young he was very straight, very serious, never broke a smile. A slim blond man with a colorless face that smelled like soap. In this dream he was a little more "creative." He still didn't smile, but he was into "alternative" medicine. He and his nurse were telling me what to expect pre-surgery, giving me a little plastic device and telling me what to do with it and at what time. Then they were off behind the curtain to another patient. They told me the information so quickly that I didn't remember half of it. I looked down at the plastic device they gave me and I was thinking... I think they wanted me to pee in this... but today or tomorrow at 9? So I went through the hospital looking for him. I found him and my old boss in a room. She was getting the surgery first. I was trying to ask her what I should do next, but she was already gone on whatever they gave her to kill the pain. She was saying "those XX really worked.... I wasn't stressed at all!" etc. Then I looked around and there was a big spider on something I brushed off. Schluderman made a face. Then some baby pigs walked in the room, chickens, gray monkeys... I looked over to my friend Penny and she said..."oh... don't you remember. He works with animals, it is a new thing. It worked so great with me." The animals were supposed to be part of the treatment and heal you. I was like... "oooh... " really hoping that wasn't any part of my surgury. A nurse came over to me knowing what I wanted and said.. yes.. you should pee in that now.. your surgury isn't for another couple hours, but it is ok. Then she openned it to find that device was much much smaller than it looked and I had no idea how I was going to accomplish it. I decided to go back to the hotel where I was staying to complete the task. I had time. As I was leaving the room I could hear a little old lady talking about the cute little mice. She came through the door and had a little mouse in her hand (that actually looked like a little poodle). She swung back a curtain and put the poodle mouse back in its cage. I saw other little animals inside. They were all "dressed" like poodles. There was a tiny horse too... think the size of a plastic horse. I took that one for my walk back to the hotel. Since that is what the animals were there for, comforting. Then as I walked back.. I was outside and it looked like nyc, with the large sidewalks and tall buildings. Then I woke up...

Before that I dreamt that I was in some sort of school. A hairdresser I used to have was teaching a class there, but on photography. I was barely in the class or doing any of the work, so I wasn't feeling like I would pass. All of the other people were looking on some wall. It looked like the old report cards I would get in junior high before the official one came out... with hand written grades and observations. I looked for my name and I had an A. I went back to find the instructor (Scott).. and he was in bed in the classroom. I got in with him and took a nap. Then he had to go and I went to get my pants and he had left all of his clothes there... I was folding them up to take to him and .....
