Snake Attack

Henry Fuseli - The Shepherd's Dream

I was staying at a family member's house. I was in a dark bedroom that looked an awful lot like my own. The main thing different is that instead of my bedside table there was a table with a tank with an animal in it. The animal, of course, was a snake.

I must say that I'm not fond of snakes. I probably fear them a little. But when I've had to deal with them I've been just fine.

Anyway, as I looked closer at the tank, I saw that the snake was looking back at me. I didn't like the way it was looking at me. Not because it was a snake, but because it seemed to be examining me a little too closely. The dream faded.

The next time I looked at the tank there were two creatures in there. The snake had been joined by a big lizard of some sort. They were both looking at me strangely. Then each creature nodded its head at me.

The lizard then stood on its hind legs while the snake slithered up the length of the lizard towards the top of the tank. Were they trying to get out? I thought they were! And I also thought they were trying to get to me! The dream faded.

When I looked again the tank was filled with water. The lizard was gone, but the snake was in there swimming around. And it was still staring at me intensely. The size of its head seemed to be amplified by the water. I could see by the look on its face that that snake had bad intentions for me.

The snake then swam to the top of the tank and poked its head out. It was escaping! I didn't know what to do, but that's when the dream faded again.

When everything came back I was sitting at the side of the bed looking at the snake tank. The snake wasn't in it.

I began to try to examine the dark room for the location of the now escaped snake. When I looked on the floor in front of my feet I found the snake waiting there for me to notice it.

As soon as I saw the snake on the floor it lunged for me! More quickly than I thought I could, I grabbed the snake by the neck behind its head. I had the snake and I was saved, but it wiggled furiously in my hand.

That's when the dream ended. When I woke up I couldn't go back to sleep with the snake waiting for me, so I got up and tried to forget. It was all over.

Checking For Demons

I found myself standing there in what I think of as the Dream World. I was in a house that seemed very familiar but I didn't think I had really ever been there before. I quickly began to think that something was very wrong. Something bad was happening. I looked around to find out if I could see what was wrong. That's when I saw a closed door in one of the walls of the room. That's when I thought maybe I knew what was wrong, what was bad. Demons! My dream self knows demons very well. I've learned how to fight them and defeat them. You never want to see a demon of this kind in your dreams. They don't look like monsters or anything like that. They look like very evil and ugly, distorted humans. They are the scariest, most dangerous things you might ever encounter. I have to say that I used to be terrified of these things, but I learned a long time ago not to have any fear of them. They feed on fear. Once I learned that all my fear vanished and I learned that the...

Automatic Writing

I wasn't going to write this dream down at first because it kind of disturbed me. But then I remembered that this is the exact kind of dream that I'm supposed to write about. It was also kind of a difficult decision because my dreams have been a bit murky lately so they're too hard to remember. That makes it kind of hard too, but let's try with this one anyway. So here it is. I remember sitting in a house I had just moved into. It was kind of dark and shadowy in the house so I knew this wasn't going to be a positive experience. I was reading a self improvement book, which I often do. I like looking for techniques to make myself a better me. But this particular book was getting a little strange. The book was suggesting that I try a thing called automatic writing, which is a technique where a person uses alleged psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. You hold a pen or pencil to paper while not paying conscious atte...

Was It Really A Dream?

Here's a short dream of a kind that I get way too often. I'm sometimes not even sure if these things are real dreams or something even more strange. Read on to find out why. I was lying there peacefully sleeping when I felt somebody messing with my blankets. It was down around where my feet were. I was still mostly asleep so all I could do was mumble to whoever it was to leave me alone. That didn't work at all, and I continued to feel my blankets being messed with. I was able to rouse myself slightly more, which was not much. Even though I was still mostly asleep, I was able to lift my head enough to see down at the foot of the bed. Everything looked blurry and dreamy because I just wasn't awake enough to function any more than that. The significant thing I saw when I looked down there was that my blanket was being lifted about two feet off the bed by an invisible hand. It really looked like my blanket was being lifted in one spot right above my feet. The strang...
