Thread: Reocurring Nightmare Involving Serpents

I've had dreams like that, when I was about that same age as a matter of fact. Well, I guess we know what Dr Frued would say, eh? But I honestly think sometimes a snake is just a snake, and they might represent anxieties or just be a common nightmare image since it's known that snakes and spiders are hardcoded into us as things to be scared of. Do your dreams ever begin with just one snake and then they start multiplying? Mine used to be like that a lot, and sometimes would end with the giant king of all snakes, so huge it wrapped literally around the horizon on both ends. I also used to dream about seeing animals in the yard and outside around the house, first innocuous ones like rabbits, then goats and horses, then bears and tigers, and sometimes all the way up to T Rexes. I'd be scared and try to make sure all the doors were locked but my mom would either go around and open them or let the dog out so I had to rescue him. Then there was the one where she was chopping vegetables in some kind of psychotic rage and refused to believe me that there were dangerous animals gathering around the house. Yeah, I think it was something about either the dangers out there in the big scary world, or maybe the ones inside that I was just beginning to see. Either way, I'm sure the animal dreams were about the security of family (or lack thereof rather). The snake ones were probably something similar, but I don't really know. At any rate I know a lot of other people have had similar dreams. They're probably archetypal dreams. Google that, it's quite fascinating.
