Lizards and Snakes

There were a bunch of baby chamelions. Then a snake came and had one in it's mouth.
A narrator started explaining how all the lizards were being eaten, and then there
were many snakes and they were all eating a lizard until there were none left.

Then the narrator started explaining how the lizards are vulnerable when they are out
of their homes, and he started explaining about their homes. He explained that the lizards
lived in a little hole, and I'm seeing everything that is being explained.

The lizards would chew a little home from wood and have their babies in the home. Then
the babies need to chew their own home, and in that time, they are vulnerabl. In this case,
Snakes had eaten every lizard that was running around, but there was a whole where some lizards
had been spared. They came out and there was a whole batch of lizards that survived.

Then one of the snakes was making his home. It was an Eastern King snake, and it made its "home"
by crawling "hard" into the ground, but again, the snake crawled in a piece of wood. The snake
carved out an indentation in the wood as though it were crawling through sawdust.

The snake was crawling around me. I wanted it to crawl around me, so I stayed very still
so it wouldn't go away or bite me. It started crawling around me and I thoguht it was awesome.
He was about 3 feet long and very pretty. Then I noticed that a bit towards its head, the snake's
body was torn. It looked like the nylon from old pool chairs. I felt bad for the snake, but it
also signaled trouble. Then the snake looked at itself pretending it was going to bite itself.
This was just a ploy to not draw attention to the fact that it was going to bite me, which it did.
It didn't hurt, but it was annoying.



Attorney and the Monster

This was such a cool dream. I was watching Perry Mason. His table was in the middle of a huge, empty
room, and surrounded by a little wall all around him about knee or waist high. This scene later repeated
with the wall a bit higher. Anyway, that was the opening scene. Moving forward, a man is choking a
woman on the ground. He doesn't kill her; he merely scares her. She's fine, but she can't get up.

The man runs away, she looks over and now I see where she is looking. There is a rock wall like a cave
wall or something. There are jagged rocks. Right against the wall and kind of blending in, is a rock monster.
He is made of a line of flat rocks standing on edge getting bigger and bigger as they go to his head.
It is kind of like a snake, except made of increasingly larger, flat rocks. Its head is like a triangular
rock, but the corners are way rounded. His expression is painted on with lines drawn in either pink or black,
strange, but I can't really remember which. The eyes were just lines, as with the mouth, but the expression
was eerie. He looked evil. The eyes were drawn like lines going up, over, and back down, so like a frowning face.
the mouth was just a line also, but painted on this rock face, and that rock body, all on the ground, it was
humble and miserable...and wanted to get the girl that had been choked.


The Dog and Flying

I had a dog that was in a cage I think, on a train. It got off the train. I held it by a leash, and someone
told me to just try to get him back up on the train.

I then saw a lady come down from a second story in an apartment, and then come out through a closet. I figured
I could go up if she had gone up and come back down. I went in the closet and saw an opening in the ceiling. It
would be awkward getting up through that opening, but I believed I could do it, so I jumped up to fly through,
which I was successful at. I ended up in an up-stairs area. I knocked over a telephone because I was still flying,
though I was heavy and not very skilled.

I had something like a balloon or something that I put under me. It helped keep me afloat. Now I knock over a
large, multi-line phone. It falls downstairs. I say, "Watch out!" but it hits right next to a woman who never
even tried to move. She looked up. I said, "It wasn't my fault!" It wasn't, though it felt as though it were almost
my fault.

I dip down again as I'm not good at flying, and went back up as I worked on my belief.

The End

I dreamed there was a rattlesnake wrapped around my leg. My mother walked by and didn't even much seem to care that she may get bit.

The snake was completely agitated and shaking, ready to strike. It jabbed someone with it's head--basically striking, but it didn't bite. This happened to my daughter with a 3 foot King snake once. Don't count on that action from a rattler.

I saw the snake around my leg and was nervous, but I realized it wanted the stability and warmth of my leg. It didn't see me as a threat.

Then there was a wire cage type thing with another snake in it. I was putting the cage over the rattler. The rattler saw the snake above him in the cage and started to slither up to eat the little snake in the cage.

I realized what was happening and moved the cage away.
I then saw a couple frogs. It was going to eat a frog and I felt bad for the frogs.

The End

Cartoon Worm

This is the second cartoon dream I've ever had. This makes it really strange to me.

It was like I was watching a movie, but the events were real. There was a green caterpillar, but in my dream it was some type of worm. It was green with a dark green stripe and a light green stripe.

The worm was on a stick under water. It swam from the right side of my field of view to the left, but then it saw a snake, so it swam back to the stick and tried to hide behind it, though the worm was much larger than the stick.

The worm was swimming to a mate, but couldn't make it due to the snake. I watched the worm swim in an undulating motion the way you might expect a worm to wiggle.

When the worm was hiding behind the stick, he started shaking with fear. I could almost see the lines that one would draw to indicate shaking with fear.

The worm eventually swam to find it's mate again, but the dream ended.

Class and Securing the Hill

I was in a class, but don't know what I was learning. We all chose net-books for the day. They were all unique.
One computer had a problem.

Dream skip?

I went to a grassy hill and was going to fight some machines. Everyone in my unit or on my team had a vehicle
that served as protection. I chose a place on the hill that offered protection from ahead and from behind.

These dreams repeated. When I went to class again, I knew one of the computers had a problem. I got the same
computer I had had before because I knew that one worked.

I saw some meat that had been flattened and salted. It was raw. I ate some and realized some how, not by the taste,
that the meat had been poisoned. I started to spit out the meat. Every time I spit, I had a lot more spit to spit out. I
spit enough to fill a baggie half way. I left the class.

I was on the hill again. Someone had a boa constrictor--possibly a red tail boa. It was about 8 feet long. They were letting it get very close to me. It was trying to bite me. Eventually I was trying to hold it anyway. I tried to get it behind the head, but being tired in waking life (I guess), I couldn't focus on it much. I ended up holding it by the tail and letting it crawl on the ground.

Then I was positioned on the hill again. My spot was now vulnerable from the rear. I didn't like that at all. I had a premonition that we would be attacked from the rear. I ended up in some kind of a room that was walled by tough, nylon strapping material. I had a machine gun. It was like a cross between an AK-47 and an AR-15. I liked having it. I shot about 15 bullets and then thought I should stop in case I hit someone. I wanted to get out of the room, so I started pulling the strapping and it was coming loose. Eventually I guess I did get loose with someone else who was in the room with me.

Then I was in a military aircraft. I was never in the military. We were preparing for something. I was trying to get my machine gun it a case because I didn't want to leave it, and I didn't want to walk around wherever I was going with an open machine gun.

One of the other guys with me, a superior I think, threw a jacket out of the plane. I was upset because I think it was my jacket. It was as though I wasn't supposed to keep the military property (including the gun). I quickly put on another jacket so as to claim it. That meant the jacket thrown out was someone elses.

OGF

I met a girl who looked like someone I used to date. I was my current age--she was the age I met her. I approached her nervous of how she would respond to what I wanted to tell her. I told her that I know I am much older, but I just wanted to tell her that she looked like an ogf. She looked exactly like her. I was in love.

Later, she responded more to my liking, and I became semi lucid, or at least controlled my dream. I started holding her. I was taking my time to go up her shirt because I was enjoying being with her, but I realized I may wake up soon, so I started going further up her shirt. I got so far as to feel where her breast started. I didn't go further because I wanted to save some of the enjoyment. I never got to feel her breast, but I was enjoying looking at her face too much.
