Chili

The gerbil is a symbol of surreality. Dreams containing gerbils are often the most difficult to interpret, or simply contain no useful information at all. They are usually quite entertaining though.

One of my gerbils, Chili.
She died a couple years ago, at the ripe age of almost five (!) years. Her sister, Coco, died two months later - I couldn't put her together with my other three gerbils because they'd fight even after days of letting them get to know each other, each group in a seperate compartment etc. - sad, but I'm glad she didn't have to suffer at all.
(she looks kind of plump in this picture, but she wasn't, it's just her fur and the pose. ^^)
Gerbils are awesome!
