Hair

I was working in a hospital daycare when I noticed a dark haired little girl, maybe 4 or 5 years old, coughing or mildly choking. When asked the little Girl stated she was fine but as the caregiver I asked her to open her mouth. I guess I thought maybe she had food in her mouth or something. Instead of food or a toy I was startled to find she was choking on hair! not just a ball of hair or a strand but almost as if hair was growing from her throat. The best description I can give is a ponytail growing out of her mouth. As soon as I found the hair in the girls mouth her parents arrived to pick her up. I explained to the parents what I saw and how she was choking but they quickly brushed me off and left as I urged them to take her to the doctor who was currently in a meeting but would be out in a short while. Although the parents didn't seem concerned I took it upon myself to tell the doctor on duty what had happened. The doctor was unsettled by what I had seen and said I needed to follow him at which time he took me to the hospital library. I have never heard of a hospital with a library but I mean this is a dream lol. The doctor handed me a newspaper article that told a very sad story of a little girl dying after getting ahold of a pistol in her home and accidently shooting herself in the mouth in which the exit wound was the base of her neck. The photo in the paper matched the little girl and parents I had seen in the daycare. The doctor explained to me that the little girl was brought in with the gun wound dead upon arrival but for some reason when she shot herself her hair came in through the exit wound and out her mouth. At this point I woke up.
