So.. I had a dream about my BP last night. I woke up this morning pretty shaken up by it lol

Before my dream, let me preface with last nights events...

Last night was feeding night (5 days since her first meal with me), and so I stopped by the pet store to pick up a live mouse. As I was waiting for the guy to bring a box so I could pick out a mouse, they had the rats next to them in an open tank.

I reached my hand in and was swarmed by a pair of rats. They both came over, and started to wrestle around with each other next to my hand. They let me pet them, play with them etc, it was.. pretty darn cool.

Anyhow, so I get my mouse, and go home. Left the mouse in her box for ~45 mins before feeding my snake. Put the mouse in, she grabbed it, killed it and then ate it. Took ~10 mins.

So anyhow.. in my dream last night..

I assumed the role of this mouse. And I could see myself outside of my snakes tank. So I (as the mouse) am running around, scared, knowing a predator is right there. My snake grabs me, and starts to constrict me. It has me coiled, and I am fighting for air. I am fighting to move. My legs are kicking, things are slowly starting to get black. I am wondering why I (person) am not trying to help me. I think it isn't fair- I had no chance. Why me? The last thing I see before totally blacking out, is my own face outside of the tank. I try gasping for one last breath to prolong my own life, but upon my final exhalation... the snake squeezes me even tighter, and then everything goes black.


It was so weird. It happened multiple times last night. I woke up feeling extremely guilty, and I am not sure why. I understand the reasoning behind feeding my snake obviously. I don't enjoy watching my snake kill/eat, etc. I just understand it is necessary for her survival. And because of my dream and my own thoughts, my mind's perception is that what I witnessed in my dream from the mouse's view is reality.

Anyhow, it was a very weird dream that I couldn't stop thinking about and had to get off of my chest. I wonder if by playing with those rats, I personified them a bit, giving them feelings/emotions that humans share... So I felt guilty about feeding off something like that. I don't know lol.

Very weird.
