Do you dream about your snake(s)?

[MelissaFlipski]

We have only had our BP (our first) for a few months. I am a big "dreamer" and have already had a ton of dreams about snakes - some funny (like the rattle snake that bit me last night in my dream, but was only slightly toxic and made me feel drunk and sleepy) and some not-so-funny (walking up a road surrounded by tons of huge venemous snakes, then battling one and trying not to be bitten, as I held its head). What is interesting is that I have had lots of dreams about snakes, but none about OUR snake. Also, I've already had a small nip from our snake, no big deal, and am not at all afraid of being bitten again, either of it happening or of the pain, if it does.

Any stories out there? E.g. I imagine breeders might dream about all the chores involved in their work.

I dream about snakes..
I dream that I have a snake room and that I have all kinds of snakes that I love... I have the same dream over and over again...

Ha ha. Not quite what I meant. I have dreams like that, too, but just that I have a few more. But my husband keeps waking me up to reality.

Yup but they haven't always been good dreams sometimes they get scary lol....one time i had a dream that snakes were coming in from the windows hundreds of them and i was trapped in a room and then there were so many that you couldn't breathe and then a giant burmese bit me and tried to kill me. lol

Wow. At least I am not alone. I am still trying to understand how I have a BP and am generally not afraid of snakes, but still have those dreams!

This could get really freaky.. really fast.

Oh and the other night I did have a dream about my snake (singular ). It was right after feeding night, but I don't remember what the dream was about.

I once had a dream that I got up out of bed and opened my door and there was a giant green anaconda sitting on the floor outside my room. I didn't freak out, I just closed my door and though "Oh crap, how am I supposed to get out of my room now."

last night i dreamed that i was at some kind of walmart-type store and for some unknown reason i had all of my snakes with me in one giant snake bag. they all kept escaping and i had to keep grabbing them and stuffing them back into the bag. then one of the employees came out of the bathroom with a big, nasty looking snake bite on his face. as he was tending to it a kid came out of the bathroom with a bright green venomous snake (just a made up snake in my mind, not one that actually exists) and he threw it at my sister. luckily it bit into her hair but it was trying to get to her face. i ran over and grabbed it behind the head and pulled it off of her. i'm not sure what happened after that but suddenly i had a bunch of my rats in a giant snake bag and they were all escaping too.

that is a recurring theme in my herp related dreams--the escaping. i'm always dreaming that the rats, snakes or geckos are escaping and i'm trying to catch them all but i don't have enough enclosures to put them in and they just keep getting out. some always get away and i get upset but i can't stop to think about it because i have to keep grabbing up escapees...

I dream about them all the freaking time. Usually it is excited dreams about making cool stuff in the future. Its hard to get any decent sleep!

Also had nightmares where they are all escaping at once and I can't catch them all or once I dreamed that all my females laid their eggs on the same day and all the eggs were mixed together and I had no idea what eggs came from what parents! Now THAT is a nightmare!

I don't have escaping dreams, but then most of my dreams in general of some form of frustration, usually not being able to get everything i need to get done before a particular even happens.

My last snake dream was about Lourdes. For some reason, I needed to get him food and he was in a freezer or in like the Artic (why, I have no idea) and I kept getting delayed to get him the food. I remember I was really worried he'd be dead by the time I got him, but in my dream, I got him and put my hand on his side and he turned his head towards as to say "about dang time, woman!"
