Dreams of killing a snake

Tuesday 6 June 2023

Music in my ears first thing: “Amy”, Pure Prairie League.

Dreams overnight:

  1. An office/work setting, dark and frustrating. I saw someone there whom I worked with, someone I need to pray for, because he was under a major attack of darkness pressing on him.

  2. There were long involved scenes with family and many others in very unsettled and uncertain circumstances. There was a large snake in our house that was hiding and wouldn’t leave. Before I could go after it, rain began to pour down and a flood began. Everyone had to leave immediately.

    I was the last to go, standing in a torrent of water sweeping past my feet and rising. The snake turned bright green (it had been brown and mottled, camouflaged) and started swimming towards me. I was now in water up to my chest, but standing on something solid, some sort of submerged raft. There was no time to get my knife out as it came at me, so I grabbed it by the neck, putting both thumbs on its throat and squeezing until it died. It was trying to whip me, wrap itself around me, but I wouldn’t let go until I had finally killed it.

    I hadn’t realized how long it was, but I began to gather up its coils until I could hurl it far away. I heard myself roaring louder that the flooding river around me.

    The submerged raft then swept me along to reunite with my people.
