Interpretation 3 — Alison Davies

Dreaming of a hamster, particularly holding one in your hands, suggests you’re trying to handle a problem or you’re in the middle of a tricky situation. The best advice would be to let it go and take a step back. The more you try to resolve the situation at this time, the worse things will get. Space and sensitivity are key here.
