Now that I think of it....

I just realized today that I have been described (within the context of an illogical metaphor) as a snake in the grass. I would like to say once again that snakes do not regurgitate venom.

Interesting that my nightmares as well as my forked tongued friend, employ snakes as their weapons of choice.

INTERESTING. As I'm writing this, I am also searching the meaning of snakes in dreams. Look what I found:

What do dreams about snakes mean?

"Snakes represent the dreamer's creative urge toward wisdom," says Condron. She explains that the snake is a neutral symbol and that it's up to the dreamer to assign the slant. "This slant is often defined by cultural view," she says. "For instance, in the West, snakes are generally feared while in the East they are revered. This can influence the dreamer's interpretation of the dream."


Are there any tricks to avoiding or inducing dreams about snakes?

Condron says that individuals who have a more developed sense of consciousness -- like healers, yogis, meditators or creators -- are more likely to report snake imagery in their dreams. If you want to induce a snake image in your dream, practice creativity or develop your sense of conciousness.*

While presently I do not consider myself a yogi, I know that "yogi" has defined me in the past. It is a label which I treasure.

I still do not understand though why my dreams are so scary. Two of the most recent snake dreams have been concentrated efforts to subdue the fear, but ultimately fail.

Just some interesting thoughts for today.
