I dreamed I had a venomous snake. At first it was okay, but then it kept trying to bite me over and over again. I handled him and tried to calm him, and I kept saying, “I just want to love you and take care of you.” Then he went missing, and I tried to find him. I finally found him, and he didn’t want to come with me. He looked like a Kimberly death adder. — Elle

From Lauri: Is there a toxic person in your life who this could apply to, someone who keeps “biting you” despite the fact that you just want to love him or her? Is there someone you have to calm? Could a part of you be like this? Also, a Kimberly death adder is a very specific detail that your subconscious chose for a reason. If you were to write an encyclopedia entry for this particular snake, what would you write?
