Dreams

Every six months or so I dream of rattlesnakes and always get bit by them. This has been occurring for the past 10 years, maybe even longer. I have never seen a rattler in the wild, only at the zoo. My dream is always they are in a house (never one I or my family currently lives in) and they always bite me. I wonder what that is all about? I am terribly afraid of poisonous snakes.

That is a scarey dream! I've seen one in the wild... close enough for me. I try to remind myself that they have a purpose here! We don't have them where I live, but just across the mtns where I spend weeks in the summer... they are everywhere!

maybe you need to go to a zoo or something where they have snakes you can handle (or at least watch someone else handle) and get over your fear.
Rattlesnakes DON'T want to bite you!

Last night I dreamt I played basketball with the Dalai Lama. Dreams are just bizarre sometimes.

Amanda I too have had a single dream which involved a room filled with rattlesnakes. In my dream I was in an exam room at the clinic, where I worked part-time, and the room was literally crawling with rattlesnakes. They were everywhere, on the table, the counters, the chairs, etc. I woke from this dream covered in sweat and my heart pounding. I made myself stay awake for awhile so that when I fell back to sleep it would not continue. No such luck for once I was back in slumber land the dream continued. I was face to face with a big rattlesnake, it was coiled on the exam table and preparing to strike, venom dripping off its fangs.

My cats were engaged in their midnight play session while I was dreaming and one of them, Bones, came flying into the bedroom and pounced on my chest just as the rattlesnake, with the dripping venom, was striking me in my dream. Needless to say, I woke up screaming as I scrambled from my bed. At this point my dogs were up and barking and cats were flying in all directions in my bedroom. I did quickly realize it was a dream and sat in bed laughing. My heart rate had to be close to 200 bpm. Thank goodness I've never had this dream since and feel blessed that the snakes have left my dream space.

I found one dream site that said snakes may mean you distrust someone, which unfortunately I was dealing with feelings of last night.

We went to organize my Nanny's things for a garage sale since she just moved to assisted living. When we got there we noticed other relatives (cousins of my father, this is his mother) had been by and taken several things. These were things promised to them but we were under the impression they would be removed after the sale. Plus they didn't tell my dad they would be by to remove items and there are so many things in there we can't tell if everything but those were left. There has been some suspicion of the family taking advantage of her *perceived* wealth since my Pawpaw died. I do not know if the other times have been consistent with these types of feelings.

Given my hatred of snakes these dreams mean I wake up very unsettled.
