Subject: Too Many Snakes!

Audrey

I was living in this house with two English women who were my caretakers.

The house had giant windows but was poorly lit. It was night time.

I went to go take a shower but the bottom of the shower was filled with snakes.

I turned on the faucet and snakes came out. I then noticed that tons of snakes were slithering all over me. I got scared and shook them off. I tried to turn on the faucet again, but the same thing happened.

I went into my bedroom and there was a large snake under my bed. I got scared, because I thought he was going to hurt me while I slept. Then he just disappeared. I checked another bedroom and there was another snake. He disappeared.

I told the women, whose names were Emma and Ann, about it and they told me to go outside, read my book, and that the food would be ready in a minute.

While I was outside, more snakes came from the bushes and crawled all over me, but then they disappeared.

I started reading the book. It was about a girl named Audrey, who looked like me, who was trying to take a shower but there were snakes everywhere.

I realized that I was outside because I was waiting for my "boyfriend" to come. I didn't know who he was.

Just then, an old red plane came down from the sky and it accidentally caught on my clothes and ripped them off.

A man in a white van, parked in front of the house, was laughing at me. I was very embarrassed and went inside and put on a white evening dress and got a white blanket.

I went back outside and sat on a red sports car and waited for my boyfriend.

The plane came down again and I realized that the pilot was the boyfriend I was waiting for.

I went inside because I knew he was going to ruin my car. He tried to land the plane, but he crashed right on top of the sports car and destroyed it.

I came outside to see him and he gave me the exact same book that I was reading and told me that it was a present.

I read the same story again and he told me that I was supposed to kiss him, but I didn't want to. While I was with him, he grew less and less attractive. We got inside the van, and the man started driving. This guy still wanted me to kiss him, but I made up an excuse and gave him a kiss on the cheek instead. I realized that he was not very nice to be around, but I still liked him.

Hi Audrey,

I'm leaving your dream for others to offer suggestions: it's rich with meaning and I'm sure other dreamers will enjoy exploring this one with you.

I just wanted to mention two things:

1. Did you read Catherine's dream, titled "Snakes" a little bit down the forum? There's some help for you there.

2. I have just replied to your 'Carnations' post in the Synchronicity Forum - including a little hint about this dream and how the synch may be connected.

Hope this helps, Jane Anderson

Hi Audrey.

There is a lot in this dream. It's very vivid. If you've had a chance to read Catherine's dream you will see how Jane talks of snakes as a symbol of healing and perhaps as a sexual symbol. Take a close look inside and see what you come up with there. That they come out of the faucet and they're in the shower, makes me think they are a cleansing/healing symbol. And there is almost always fear in the face of healing old wounds -- particularly emotional ones.

Who are Emma and Ann? Do you know these people? If not, or even as well as, break apart the sounds of the names (Jane showed me this trick with a dream not long ago) 'Emma' may come out like 'Am I'... These are the two people who are taking care of you -- the two you(s) inside yourself who feed you with 'food' and 'knowledge' (the book).

The book is a story about you, repeating your dream. Then you get the book again from your boyfriend. This feels like a loud message Audrey. Repetition within the same dream even!

The girl named Audrey was trying to take a shower, but the snakes were everywhere. Have a good think about that Audrey. Why are the snakes interfering with your shower?

You are in a white evening gown and a white blanket. White is often representative of a spiritual level. Did the snakes disappear at this time? Were they an issue anymore?

There is more here with the red and the plane and sports car. Red can be passion, heat, etc. And, too, think of the boyfriend as a part of yourself.

You could also try one of those free form poems Jane spoke of in Catherine's dream of each of your symbols, particularly the snakes. I think it would really help you. They work for me.

Let us know how the discovery goes. All the best with it.

Angela.
