Helpful snake

[NavyBlueFlower]

Would you folks mind taking a stab at the following dream I had a couple of weeks ago? I think it may be trying to tell me something about my health. Thanks in advance!! In this segment of the dream, I've just managed to pry a bat off my LEFT shoulderblade. (Note: I have chronic pain in my RIGHT shoulderblade and last night, for the first time, I tried an Icy Hot patch on the area. It seemed to be making my bed cold and wet whenever I woke up during the night, so I was worried about it.) I've also seen a mini-bat, a sort of cross between a black bat and a dragonfly, slip under the door to try to get to me. Then I feel sharp pains in my left shoulder. (Note: The Icy Hot Patch is on my right. The left shoulder is my good one.) It feels like something is biting me. When I turn around, I see that there is a snake looking up at me from the floor. She's a pale-orangey kind of colour, the colour of a cake baked with orange zest. (Note: I'd baked madeleines the other day and part of the recipe called for orange zest, and I'd been unsure whether that meant all of the orange peel or just the inner flesh under the peel, so that had worried me.) The snake is looking intently at me as if she's on a mission. I try to shoo her away. I try to run away. She keeps getting to me and rhythmically striking at me - in the same spot. She finally says to me, "Look, I'm trying to help you. I need to give you the scars for the electrolysis." I think about it for a moment, but I don't know what she means. I'm not even planning to get electrolysis done. So I continue to run away. She always catches up with me. When I get out of the house - which looks a lot like my grandmother's house from when I was a kid - I'm finally rid of her. I go around to the back to get into the kitchen, which I do from an upper window. The people in the cast of my film are there, cooking on the stove, and Aunt Janet from the Road to Avonlea series is there baking. Aunt Janet starts to scream bloody murder when she sees me come in. The ceiling corners above me are dirty and covered with strands of cobwebs. I wake up and notice there IS actual physical pain in my left shoulder! I'm speculating that the relief on my right shoulder may have highlighted some pain in my left that I didn't know I had. It's milder than the usual pain in my right shoulder, but I can definitely feel it and it feels a lot more intense now. I'm not a filmmaker in real life, but I'm studying it and I hope to be a director/writer one day. I'd thought about electrolysis a couple days earlier. I've been thinking about getting Botox for my forehead again. I've thought of perhaps seeing if I can get Botox injections for my back pain, and I think I may have had a passing thought about that.
