Fragment
A few weeks ago (in RL) I found a sweatband in my room, and started to wear it around my wrist constantly. My hope was to use it as a "totem" like in inception. Am I wearing a sweatband? Nope. Must be dreaming.
Anyways, I could never find the other one, no mater how hard I searched. I know there were two, because the sweatbands were a Christmas present, as a pair. But... In this dream, I had both.
Snakebite
I was in some suburban backyard type setting. There was a large forest to one side, and a row of houses to the other. Between them were backyards, probably 50-70 feet from the woods to the houses. The sky was a dark blue, and there was a light snowfall, with several inches already fallen on the ground.
The first thing I recall was encountering a snake. It became aggressive and started chasing after me. I wasn't able to run very far until I tripped. I was able to grab its head before it could bite me, but the snake was "lagging" (Fantastic, video game lag in my dreams). But really, in my hand, it was behaving like that.
My mother was there, and I told her to quickly kill the snake. She grabbed its top and bottom jaw, each with one thumb, and killed it by pulling the jaw open 180. But because of the "lag" the snake registered as alive and was able to bite me before dying permanently.
I looked at my leg, and there were four holes where the snake's teeth had gone in. It hurt, but in a strange way that it felt like I could control the pain. I commanded the pain to go away, and it did.
My mother, who was still present, directed me to go to the doctors office.
Now remember how I described the dream scene as taking place in an "alley" between a row of houses and a dense forest. But there was a small two story house built in this alley. It even had a large neon sign on it saying "doctor".
But the house was quite a ways away. I began walking, but it was painfully slow and I seemed to be staggering in the snow. When I was about 1/4 of the way there, I looked again at the snakebite on my leg. I noticed that the skin on my leg was starting to turn a dull red around the snakebite. "Must be the venom!" I thought to myself.
I continued walking, with a somewhat faster pace until I was there. I was standing outside and looked at my leg again. Most of my leg was a dull red now. I knocked on the door, and you'll never believe who was there.
Marcus! "The Glasses Guy" that I kept seeing. I was thinking thinking he's another recurring dream character, and I was right. He turned out to be the "doctor" I was looking for. He took out some high tech injector device with a glowing blue vial in it and injected it into the bite. My leg returned to normal color. Awesome.
I can't remember what happened next or how I got here, but I ended up going inside one of the houses, and the inside ended up looking like the basement of my own house. (We have a walk out basement.)
The strange part was, I was trying to stabilize the dream by touching the walls, so I must have beenlucid. But I don't remember ever actually attaining lucidity before I started to stabilize. I woke up after that.
