Moody Snake?

[jmont12]

Question mark is because I'm not sure if I'm just overthinking it, or if theres actually something going on.

So my boa, Dharma, is very kind and has always been a people-lover. She always objects to being put away early, and loves to curl up next to me (when she could be anywhere else) and set herself up to watch what I'm doing.

Recently, I started having these weird dreams about her biting me. They weren't scaring me, but they became recurrent and turned into an every-night ordeal. I've been feeding her rabbits - a step up from rats - and part of me thinks this is a contributor. Sorry to all the skeptics - most of my concern is based on dreams and weird feelings being taken seriously because I've been right about it many times before.

Anyway, more recently, she's been a bit touchy. I took her to a class demonstration and she struck at someone's phone for videotaping (no flash), and she just seemed a bit stressed to me. She didn't want to be around anyone else, and I was glad to get her home. At this point, she had still never bitten anyone or anything, and her strike was very short and more of a threat than an actual attempt.

It's been over a month since this happened, and every time I've wanted to get her out, she just seemed a bit tense to me. Then recently, I set her on the floor for just a second (it's carpet, and she was doing really well - super happy and relaxed). My dog, who she has been around for a year and always been fine interacting with, had been sleeping but saw her and ran up excitedly to greet her, scared her, and Dharma responded by biting her in the eye. Dharma immediately dropped off, but my dog had a puncture wound on the white of her eye, so we took her to the vet and got antibiotics. Dharma still seemed really tense after, so I put her away for the day. I was sure it was just a scared incident, since she normally is VERY hard to provoke. Just to emphasize how gentle and laid back she is: she's been whacked in the face by a declawed cat when I wasn't looking (she did not react at all), and my little sister once tried to pat her on the head (which she allowed). She's very kind and tolerant, but I still try to prevent what I can. She's always very relaxed and happy around me, but even for a couple weeks before this incident she seemed a bit oddly stand-offish.

Ever since that incident, she's seemed even more tense to me, even when I'm the only one around. I'm not sure if the dog accident just scared her badly, if it's all in my head, or if something is actually going on. I can't tell if she's unhappy and I'm worried about her. Plus, she hasn't been wanting to get out as much either (which is VERY out of character for her). Hopefully I'm just overthinking it and she's fine, but if any of you have experience with snakes being suddenly tense and unsocial (especially females), please put it in the comments below!

Not sure if I should give it time to watch it closely or maybe even take her to a vet. Any advice will be much appreciated! Just want to be sure that my girl is okay. She's sitting on me as I'm typing this and insists on putting her head on me. She seems to be mostly okay at the moment - only a little tense. I just have a weird feeling that something is going on, and her suddenly withdrawn personality is extremely out of character for her.
