Short Story: John dreams of snakes

Tweet

John Tuvenon was dreaming that he was on some small island, with some other man, and that this man had made a fire, and was cooking snakes, cut up into pieces on it, for them both to eat, as there seemed to be nothing much else on the island to eat. A couple of small sand snakes crawled off, as he had left them on the ground, next to him too, so they escaped, but he quickly found another, buried in the sand then too, and threw it in his pan. John had looked on in horror, though, as he had no inclination to eat any part of a snake. He woke up before he had eaten any. John consulted his dream book to try to interpret this simple enough dream. Dreams of snakes can mean that you are dealing with life problems, and eating them, might mean that you have largely now overcome these problems in your life. The problems do not cause you so much fear and trepidation, any more. Generally, dreams of snakes can be depicting for you the various traps in life that can bite you, unless you see the sustenance portion of them too. This is the observation that even snakes ( life problems) can provide you with some good insights, if they are cooked up in the right way by someone who knows, such as a life guide, or mentor of yours too. Some problems will escape even the watchful eye of your guide, so always try to solve your own problems too, and never totally rely on any advice from a guide, or mentoring person. The fact that the snake is cooked, and now dead, shows John that his own fear of death, has been largely overcome now too. The fact that he is on an isolated island also shows him that his fear of being alone is not troubling him either, as he knows that his inner guide can always feed him with wisdom, dished up in strange ways sometimes, though. The fact that John did not eat these snakes though, and was horrified of even the idea of eating them, also indicates that the has some ongoing issues with handling his own negative outlook on life. He knows that he should not eat, or take on board, any more repugnant attitudes, or give into too many overcontrolling emotions either. John knows that he should destroy these vipers of negativity in his life, but for now, he would just prefer to live with them, rather than analysing them, and digesting the inner meanings of what his ongoing negativism really means, or where it is coming from in his psyche.

Kate Seredy, (1899 to 1975)the Hungarian, writer said this. Perhaps, John still needs to do this too. Kill the snakes of doubt in yourself.
