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.
