12/31/2023 0 Comments Lots of snakes standingThen I was near an elephant I loved, and hoped it would remove the snake. ![]() At one point I put my head on the ground, hoping the snake would wish to crawl away. I could feel it on the left side of my neck Fearing it was poisonous and might bite me, I moved very slowly. Chameleon: either one’s desire to fade into the background, or adaptability.Įxample: A small snake about a foot long had dropped down my shirt neck. In the above dream, the banana is both David’s pleasure and sexuality, while the lizard is the creativity emerging from his unconscious through the attention he is giving it-he is looking at the lizard. Generally, a lizard is very much the same as a snake, except it lacks the poisonous aspect awareness of unconscious or instinctive drives, functions and processes. But I felt cenain the lizard had “painted” these wonderful pictures with its unconscious an’ (David T). In fleeting thoughts I wondered if the bird “paintings” were to attract birds, or were some form of camouflage. With amazement we saw on these flaps wonderful pictures, in full colour, of birds. We then were able to see it had large wing-like flaps which spread from its head in an invened V. The lizard turned so it was facing away from us-head up the wall. Frogspawn: sperm, ovum and reproduction.Įxample: ‘My wife and I saw a large lizard on the wall near a banana. Unconscious life or growth processes which can lead to transformation (the frog/prince story) the growth from childhood vulnerability-tadpole to frog-therefore the process of life in general and its wisdom. See The dream as extended perception under ESP and dreams. If we begin to touch these with consciousness, as we do in dreams, new functions are added to consciousness. They function fully only in some fight or flight, survive or die, situations. Being unconscious they are less amenable to our waking will. This is because many extraordinary human functions take place unconsciously, in the realm of the reptile/spine/lower brain/right brain/autonomic nervous system. Also the very primitive has in itself the promise of the future, of new aspects of human consciousness. The survival urge at base might be kill or run, but it can be transformed into the ambition which helps, say, an opera singer meet difficulties in her career. Modern humans face the difficulty of developing an independent identity and yet keeping a working relationship with the primitive, thus maturing/bringing the primitive into an efficiently functioning connection with the present social world. Our relationship with the reptile in our dreams depicts our relat- edness to such forces in us, and how we deal with the impulses from the ancient pan of our brain. This includes the fundamental evolutionary ability to change and the urge to survive-very powerful and ancient processes. Most garter snakes I have ever seen were rather small.Our basic spinal and lower brain reactions, such as fight or flight, reproduction, attraction or repulsion, sex drive, need for food and reaction to pain. I stand corrected.Īs for their size, I suppose it depends on what you consider to be "big." I personally don't think a two-foot snake is particularly huge, perhaps medium-sized. I assumed garter snakes were not venomous because of this, and when I read up on them last (when I was younger), they were not known to be venomous at all at the time. Some snakes are still highly venomous even without fangs (such as the coral snake, which one should NEVER handle), but most snakes without them cannot effectively inject venom. Again, this was just from personal experience and looking into a garter snake's mouth, not from any hardcore Google research. Despite this, garter snakes cannot kill humans with the small amounts of comparatively mild venom they produce, and they also lack an effective means of delivering it." "Garter snakes were long thought to be nonvenomous, but discoveries in the early 2000s revealed they do, in fact, produce a neurotoxic venom.
