Oh good grief I'm dreaming of snakes....

Ok, this can't be a good sign.

I dreamt last night hubby and I were walking thru a pet store and found a HUGE snake of some sort choking on a big piece of bark. No one knew what to do so like a true hero I swooped in, helped him regurtitate (regurgitate. Regurgatate? Regur-- heck with it--) helped him vomit it up. The snake snuggled into my arms and the thrilled pet store people gave me the snake.

I TOLD YOU we need a therapy thread.

I've always thought of it more as a mix of entertainment, amusing diversion, and "let's look who's hanging out today"
sort of the lounge part of the gsl
the therapy thread would be for people who want a serious in-depth humour-free approach

[Lori P]

Oh yeah! The thread with James talking about sheep and platypus... poor fella, he really does need some help... :-) But wait, I'M the one dreaming of cuddly, free, choking snakes... doesn't that deserve it's own thread?? LOL :-)

[Lori P]

Er, I was just joking about the therapy thread. I think humor is the BEST therapy, don't you? :-)

I'm too much of a smarta$$ sometimes--- mea culpa. :-) :-)

When I stopped keeping snakes for a few years, I would dream about them all the time........ I would dream I hadn't cleaned them for weeks, that they were starving or even dead in their vivs. I would look into tank after tank to see one or two skinny survivors, but mainly dessicated corpses. Weird, repetitive dreams, I had to get back into snake keeping to get a decent nights' sleep. So, for me the therapy is snake-keeping.

For some reason only venomous are in my dreams. Never once have I had a dream about a non-venomous snake. It's the same thing every time. I lost my naja in the house. I guess that could be a nightmare.

James, I have similiar dreams about animals I've had in the past... that I let them starve and die... but I didn't of course. I also dream about the ones I failed to rescue. Drives me nuts...

My snake dreams are usually about them getting into trouble because of something I neglected to do and me ending up accidentally killing them while trying to help.

It seems to me that we all have a healthy realization of the weight of the responsibility we've taken on....that has to be a good thing.
