Re: My weird/sad snake dream
Wow! That is a doozy. Are all your dreams that detailed and wild? I have dreams like that, too. So I can feel for you.
Are you concerned about your snake (how terrible it would be to lose her!) or ambivalent over wanting more snakes? The sense of helplessness is so deep and sad. It must have been a relief to wake up and know it was a dream. And I totally understand why you cried, too. That's a lot of emotion to deal with.
Sometimes I have crazier dreams when sick or medicated, too, especially if feverish.
I hope writing about it helped. Hang in there! And go hug your snake. :)
Re: My weird/sad snake dream
I always have crazy dreams. I've had a reoccuring dream ever since I was little where I'm robbed, kidnapped, raped and then murdered. I never have good dreams. I honestly can't remember having a good dream in the last five or six years. It's always nightmares.
Re: My weird/sad snake dream
I am so sorry you have nightmares a lot.
Re: My weird/sad snake dream
I have dreams that are very similar when not drugged..you are not alone. I always have bad dreams about my snakes, cats, or my horse, but my weirdest is a recurring dream (where months after the last one it starts where it left off).
In this dream I find out halfway through that I own a HUGE tank of saltwater fish that I haven't fed or cleaned up in months. When I finally get to the tank (which always takes a long time because someone gets in my way) I find out that most of the fish have been eaten by other fish and that by not feeding or cleaning I have grown some ugly, mutant monster fish that cannot be killed or controlled.
The funny thing is I have never owned a saltwater tank...hahaha
I always wake up and wander around my apartment for a while until I realize that it is the middle of the night and no, I do not own a mutant monster fish!
It's very funny when I write it out, though ahhahaha
