Snake Dream

Weird dream last night.  As usual I've forgotten most of it, but I'll try and write down what I do remember......

Big Big snake - Boa Constrictor or Anaconda type

I was on an island, and I think the snake was in a box and I opened it up - he got out (Pandora's box symbolism??? haha)

So, I take off running and he pursues.

I figure he might not be able to swim so I dive into the ocean and start swimming.

He pursues, and in the dream I can feel the panic inside me vividly.

I swim and come to what is like a small island almost like a floating village (like in Waterworld only more modern)

Seems like I know some of the people there - as aCquaintances not real friends or family.

I get onto the island and immediately begin looking for a safe place where the snake can't get me.

I go into what looks like an outhouse - he started squeezing through.

I went several different places like this all with the snake on my heels - every time he began to get in.

Finally I went to a place with glass doors similar to a store and I got inside and bolted the doors.  There were people in the room and I quickly told them what was going on.  

That's about when I woke up.  

I'd forgotten to set the alarm in my bedroom, but I heard the alarm in the livingroom (amazingly too since the bedroom door was closed which I rarely do).
