Dream Diary

April 12:

(Warning: there will be details about someone or myself getting eaten alive by a giant creature. If that's not your thing turn away while you can)

The dream I had was that I was Kaa or just any big snake approaching a girl. The girl was Dora the Explorer and as you can guess yes I was trying to hypnotize her. I do say the words such as 'let go of your fear' or 'trussst... in me' before I approach Dora to devour her.

I successfully devoured Dora after a moment but then the tables turn. What I mean is that suddenly the point of view or POVs change up and I am suddenly Dora inside the snake. I look around while inside my purple-ish red tunnel-like prison.

It isn't much to describe about a dream but what I think I can break down in the dream is this:

First guess:
Me being a snake trying to devour someone I know (character-wise) could signify an inner beast inside me wanting to harm someone. When the point of views switch and I'm the one getting eaten it may be a sign that harming someone will come back to haunt me and I'll end up hurting myself just as much as I hurt the person.

Second guess:
It's a wild guess but as I look up particular meanings, just to see if I'm accurate in any way, I found this;

So I couldn't find what it means to BE a snake in a dream so I found what it means to SEE a snake since technically that's what I saw myself as.

So snakes represent the changing or transformation of habits or a force that has yet to be known. That I should stop these habits and look at more 'important' matters in my life before they sneak up on me.

Even though I was technically the snake in the dream the fact I wanted to devour someone is technically cannibalism in a way. So cannibalism could signify a fear of being consumed by stress and overwhelmed. That I can also lose myself or others.

When the POV changes to me being the one who is getting eaten I found that a snake wanting to swallow me could mean there is something in my life I need to metaphorically (and possibly literally) let go of.

Putting it all together (including the first guess) this is what I'm thinking;

"I am going through an important transformation that requires me to break certain habits. I have an inner beast as part of that transformation that I need to release and control. If I don't control my habits while focusing on my goals more I can end up hurting myself and others. If I don't focus on what's important instead of being lazy I can become overwhelmed by the stress of not being able to accomplish the things I want to do in my life and it may require me to let go of not just habits but also things that are holding me back or overwhelming me."

This feels pretty spot on to what's going on in my life.

If you guys have experienced something similar let me know.
