Snake Dreams

My dreamtime is when I receive a lot of information. Lately I've been dreaming some significant symbolic dreams so thought it was a good idea to post them. I've found that journaling even the weirdest dreams is a good way to be able to interpret the meanings later. They'll start to fit together and symbols that are recurring are always very significant.

Snakes--I've dreampt of snakes since I was a little girl. They have evolved from simple personal symbols to symbols of the bigger picture. More and more I am seeing how my little life as Debora Jo fits into the bigger picture--the macrocosm of my larger reality. I wish I totally understood what it all means and HOW it all fits together with "reality" and co-creation with the sacred..but in time I'll figure it out. I don't think we are supposed to know in this reality as it may interfere in the learning process. ?? Who knows at this level of understanding--the human level. Ok, coffee is blasting through my 3rd dimensional body so I'm just streaming here.

Three Snakes: I dreampt that there were three snakes in my bed. A big mean black rattle snake and two white smaller rattle snakes. I have a nice queen size bed with LOTS of pillows and feather comforter and I love to lose myself in my snuggle haven. So in the dream I knew the snakes were slinking around in the pillows and blankets and I was at first petrified. (They invaded my safe haven). I have two cat friend/guardians that sleep with me and dreamtravel with me. In the dream I was worried that the black snake was going to kill Cho Chang. I wasn't worried about the white snakes. I grabbed the big black snake with both of my hands around it's head and as I did so realized and thought, "This is too much for me to handle!" and the snake turned and bit both my hands between the pointer fingers and the thumbs-- in the webbing. Then Cho Chang killed it and I woke up.

In Iroquois prophecy Denagweeda (sp?) the prophet, said that at the end times the three snakes would fight. The white snake represents the white race; the black snake represents the African continent; and the red snake represents the Asians. Basically WWIII is going to involve these three races. I think WWIII has been started with the presence of the white snake in Iraq and beyond. The involvement of the US invading Iraq is significant.
As far the the micro/macrocosmic significance of this dream-The personal meaning of the snakes is my personal lessons of empowering myself concerning how I've been treated by the men in my life. The snakes represent the abuse and mistreatment males have given me in my life and me conquering them. (Cho Chang killing the snake--as she represents the LIONESS part of me). As many of us know, our personal issues are reflections and vice versa of the larger issues going on with the planet and beyond. We reflect off of one another (GAIA Included) as we all evolve. Remember that we are all one. One Consciousness split and fragmented...but we are all coming together--or a better way of putting it is realizing our connectedness. I was recently told that the black color represents the crone form of the Goddess (White-the maiden; Red-the mother; Black the crone) and I am definitely entering my cronehood--and earlier than many women these days. My body is showing me this with my menopause at midcycle at the age of 41. This all comes together as I just now remembered that one of my first Native American Wise Woman teachers told me that "We ARE Mother Earth". We-- as in we~women.

Python/Anaconda Dream: I recently dreamed that I was watching a huge anaconda or python swimming through a swampy bog. It was rolling like we have seen pictures of the Loch Ness Monster through the loch--just the humps rolling out of the water. I knew I had to grab ahold of this snake and "go with it." I was scared at the size of the snake but the snake itself wasn't that scary--not like the black snake in the previous dream, which I was lucidly thinking about as I contemplated how I was to go with this huge snake. I just jumped in and wrapped my arms around it and then "woke up".

Two days later I went to a local festival in Aztec, NM and watched as some Aztec dancers danced and made medicine. The women had huge snake tattoos and I was--ok--snake medicine. The elder med man went into the audience and grabbed a white kid, then a brown kid, a white kid etc... and brought them up on stage and danced for them (us) as they are the future.....!! then I found a booth with an environmental/civil rights group that had a newsletter from a Navajo (Dine') environmental group and in it was an image of a stick man with his arms wrapped around a HUGE Snake. WOW! The Good Snake!

The Big Man Dream: In may I had a dream where the big man was trying to get into the house and get to me. I was afraid of him and he was furiously trying to get to me. I dreampt this all night. He finally got into my house and then I hid and rehid numerous times from him under beds, in closets, in boxes, behind curtains, until I was so scared that I woke up.

Big Man, or Big Foot has been a recurring symbol in my dreams since I was little. Sometimes I'm scared of him and sometimes not. He is always a male in my dream. I know that Big Man represents a spirit protector of earth mother. I believe that Big Man moves through dimensions--this is why he cannot be discovered by those that would hurt him. ...If anyone knows anything about Big Man I'd appreciate any knowledge or insights on this matter. I've always had a kind of fascination and love for the Big Man. (?)

Hurricane Dream: These dreams are out of sequence but this is how it's all flowing~ so be it. I dreampt I was looking out into the ocean and a HUGE Hurricane was approaching the coast. I could see it--Like a Gargantuous tornado coming at us and I was in charge again of the survival of us. My next door neighbor and I were gathering all the children to safety and had to ignore the stupid wishes of the "men" as they were going out to some house on a peninsula in the ocean and we couldn't seem to convince the men that it was safer inland, so we left the men and gathered the children into a house on the mainland and wrapped blankets around us and sat, backs against the walls "for safety." Then I woke up.

Usually, when I actually see the event from a distance--like this hurricane coming, it happens in the 3rd dimension--or how else to put it, I'm precognitive dreaming. I dreampt the twin towers falling this way two days before it happened. and again in the twin towers dream I was the matirarch in charge of arranging the survival partys. I'm always organizing everyone. I have warning dreams in two's, two days, two weeks, two months, two years...
I dreamed two years ago that some kind of BIG FIRE event was going to happen and exaserbate the melting of the ice caps. Hence my dream telling me to leave the east coast and move to high ground.
