      Help me please!

      Place of Dream: House that I lived in from age 8-14.

      Situation I was in the actual day of the dream: bf has purchased engagement ring for me. I love him but don't feel that the time to be engaged is right now and have asked that he waits one year for me to accept his proposal despite him having already purchased the ring.

      Narrative of Dream:
      My bf and I are standing talking to a random girl (who I felt I know but wasn’t anyone in particular? There was also another guy with this girl – but once I again I felt like I didn’t know him). My bf is standing without his shirt on and she starts touching his chest suggestively. I get angry and feel so betrayed (but do not verbalise it) that he isn’t doing anything to stop it but obviously enjoys the flattery. I walk upset outside to an open ‘desert’ sort of looking area not familiar to me and come across a long, moderate size snake. I feel that the snake is human because it raises up its head and is at my face/eye level a good two meters away – I felt that the snake was human? It’s eyes looked into mine and I felt that it wasn’t just a snake even though it clearly was. I feel that it is going to attack me so I throw an object in my hand not at it, but past it so that it hopefully becomes distracted and chases the object so I can run away. Instead, within a second it strikes at me from its distance because it is long and bites me just once, but it is fast and sharp in the neck. In the dream, I black out and wake up (almost like in a movie – next scene) too see a couple who are sitting at a kitchen counter who are in close promximity to eachother-their body language is affectionate towards one another. I felt that the man was my bf, but it didn’t look like him and when they went to lean in to eachother to kiss I woke up, adrenaline rushing for sure! In the kitchen were one or two other people, but I can not recall who they were. Nor was this kitchen recognisable.

      I would love any feedback Really confused about the dream.

      I think I can reassure you first by explaining that you are not having a prophetic dream of betrayal by your boyfriend, nor do these characters in the dream represent individuals in any sense except in your feelings and attitudes. We dream nearly exclusively about ourselves, which is natural because our minds can't really go inside another person and reveal their feelings--only our own.

      Your dream represents your fears/anxieties about being betrayed. This is not unusual when you care about someone. In a dream, when your rational mind quiets, these fears magnify to a level where we recognize them.

      Animals are enigmatic in a dream, but I will suggest that the snake represents your jealous self. I see this in dreams where a Jungian self-character (in this case, a snake) looks into the eyes of the dreamer, almost always at face level, like looking into a mirror. Your perception of the snake as human reinforces this idea of the snake as an aspect of your psyche.

      Most of us consider jealousy a negative attitude, as you seem to in the dream. You fear that it will hurt you, and you attempt to get rid of it, but it bites you anyway, demonstrating its tenacity. Jealousy, after all, is a powerful emotion that few of us conquer or outwit.

      Kitchens can represent a place of warmth, safety, companionship, spiritual/emotional needs being met. This is where families gather, and where we feed our physical need, thus our emotional need in a dream. The last, small scene may picture your desire for emotional security.

      I hope my comments give you another perspective. Certainly, your own perceptions and feelings can refine the meaning of the dream further. Good luck and blessings.
