The other night I had a strange dream-
I was in one of our family’s horse stalls when I reached up to pet one of the horses. Something caught my attention so I turned, looked behind me- hand still in the air, then turned back to find a snake biting the underside of my wrist/forearm.
I don’t recall many details but I looked at my arm to find two fang-marks before things started getting extremely foggy.
I was somehow rushed to the emergency room because I believed the snake to be poisonous.
When the doctor began to examine my arm, he looked at me and said, “These wounds aren’t the result of a snake-bite, these have been self-inflicted”
I protested, trying to convince him to treat me until I looked back down at my arm only to realize the two marks had been made with my very own hand-held drill.
anyway, I’m pretty sure my dreams aren’t everyone’s interest- just thought this one was a little symbolic, in a sense.
