I’m not close to family members due to issues related to childhood. I was raised by my Grandmother who is now deceased. I dreamed about two snakes in and old house we lived in years ago. There was a snake in my brothers’ room and one in the room where I slept as a small child with my Grandmother. I feel her presence and can also see her image.
I am looking at cupboards in a old house I notice one to my left high up on the wall and i am really interested in looking at it but i notice one closer and thought id look at it first so i stand up on a chair to open one to have a snake fall out. i start running shutting sliding doors behind me but it keeps coming. i have my sister with me and she is really little so im pulling her with me. she seams fine, alomost like she cant see it. I end up on the small round table and it comes through and sees a mouse. i remember thinking it will leave me alone but it eats the mouse and comes at me changing. its growing tenticles out of its head ( i notice them being red) and it wraps around me i feel them going into my right wrist as it bites.
i then woke up from this dream gasping and scared out of my mind and for the whole day my wrist is very sore
When my daughter passed away on 03/03/13 age 38 I was clearing her home, I did not see a snake but when I was sleeping I kept thinking of a snake that had shed its skin,I thought it may have crept into her case on holiday years ago,,
Was it still in her home, I,m so confused,,
I told my doctor about it, she thought it was to do with my subconscious due to loss of daughter and being stressed, I also have cancer,,
My dream, I am female, I was running and suddenly decided to stop. Once I stopped I saw below me one snake hissing and lifting its head. I stood very still and wondered how I was going to get away without the snake taking a bite at me. I was so frightened that I woke myself up.
I was driving my sisters car (she lives in another country) with two friends (who have just recently got together as a couple) through a park. The car starting slowing down and I noticed there were snakes everywhere in the park, seemingly coming towards the car, I frantically tried to get the car to go faster but it just rolled to a stop. The snakes started to enter the car and I’m not sure what happened to my friends at this point, but a pitch black snake bit my right hand between my thumb and forefinger, and then looked at me and stuck its heart shaped pointy tail in right where it had bitten me and started pumping poison into me. I was scared and started feeling like the poison was affecting me, but as it kept pumping it in, I started to feel normal again. I didn’t attempt to take the tail out, I just sat there and watched it. I woke up after I started to feel normal again. Help me what does this mean!!
