Well, here I am again, with another predator dream- this time I woke up knowing exactly what it was, and on the verge of tears. I kind of know how to go about analyzing it now, but thought I should share it with you, if that's ok.
I went to my (not really) mother-in-law's house with my father, boyfriend, and daughter. We were waiting outside for them, when we heard sirens, and the police pulled someone over directly in front of us. The man immediately gets out of the car holding two very large ball pythons. He rushes and puts one at the front door so the police couldn't get in - I guess he was planning on barricading himself in the house. We run around to the back door and go inside, and for some reason, he puts the snake on the door without trying to get inside first.
Well, this snake is very very aggressive, and keeps trying to bite my hands as I try to close all the windows, and lock the doors. I just couldn't keep him from finding new holes, and getting in, and he was getting really mad at me, and kept trying to bite. At the end of this sequence, I notice that his eye is red, and very reptilian looking, but not like a normal snake eye at all. It had the slit-pupil, but was really scaly and built-up surrounding the eye.
So, as I'm doing this, my dad and boyfriend are sitting at the table. I realize that I don't have to stay in the kitchen, I can go unlock the front door where the more docile snake is, which I do. My dad follows me out. I scream at my boyfriend who is sleeping heavily in his seat to get out. He does finally wake up before he's hurt, but in his half-asleep delusion, he bolts out the back door. At this point, I realize that I have no idea where my daughter is, and find that she's been standing outside with the snake-man the whole time (greatest mom in the world, I know)! Well, as my boyfriend ran out the backdoor, the snake followed, and bit my daughter on the face and shoulder about twenty times! She's freaking out, and I scoop her up to comfort her. I can very clearly see the bite marks all over her face. I'm crying and crying, and I'm really worried I should take her to the hospital or something, but she calms down rather quickly, and seems to be ok. That's basically where it ends, and I woke up with that crying lump in my throat, very distraught.
One thing that I find really interesting is the fact that in both of my predator dreams, my boyfriend was there and sleeping soundly. Also, my dad being there was really odd, as I don't really see him a lot, but the fact that he was awake was interesting because I discovered really recently that he's been reading all sorts of relevant material, and I just showed him SOTT. It also couldn't be more clear that I need to be more diligent with my daughter.
