Why'd it have to be snakes. . . . ?

This morning I dreamed I was doing internet research, glanced away from the computer, saw a small cobra on my desk rearing up -- and woke up fast!

So much for sleeping in this morning. . .

ack! mmm...nothing like a good adrenaline rush to start the day.

Fascinating. A Cobra too.

[qos.livejournal.com]

"Too"?

[druidharper.livejournal.com]

'Too' as in not just any snake. Cobras can often imply divine inspiration and creativity, as well as royalty in some circles. Of course, they also may come with warnings. I have no idea what it might signify in your specific circumstances but I am familiar with it from my own dreams and in those of others I have worked with.

Sorry for the confusion

Interesting. That could mean any number of things. Meditate on this, grasshopper. ;)

Ah, thanks for the expanded explanation. I thought at first that perhaps you had also dreamed of a cobra last night.

*see newly unscreened comment above.

Not last night, no, but they are pretty frequent denizens of my dreams. Odd as that may seem.

After the last few years, it takes a lot more than persistent dream symbols to make me think of something as "odd." ;-)

[oakmouse]

For you? No, not odd. Not with your connections.

[oakmouse]

*nods* Some good points there. However... *points to meditation cushion* ;)

Obey the Mouse. The Mouse is wise. *noddles*

[qos.livejournal.com]

Yes 'm!

[silverhawkdruid.livejournal.com]

A Wise Mouse indeed. *nods solemnly* The Mouse is indeed Wise.

Just thought I'd say I'm very entertained by this entire exchange!

Ugh, I hate suddenly being awoken by a dream. I'm having very active dreams the past two days. Lots and lots of stuff happening.

Hmmmm. I would equate the snake with kundalini. As in your work resides within your kundalini.

I'm just passing on a venerable tradition. My teacher used to ask me "have you meditated on it?" every time I reported an interesting dream or vision, or an intriguing concept in a book, and it did me a world of good...so I've maintained the custom. And there's no reason not to have fun with it in the process. ;)
