There's a snake in my boots!


So, seriously? I had the weirdest dream ever last night. It began fairly normally, I was on in a tour group hunting rattlesnakes. Okay, so maybe it didn't even begin normally, but that is how all of these stories start out. I am not really sure why we were looking for rattlesnakes, but that is what we were doing.

Anyway, I was in a tour group and we were looking for rattlesnakes and we were riding on one of those little kid trains (the kind that you see at theme parks - you know the ones that each car is only big enough to fit one kid, but they don't have any sort of top to them) through the desert, but without any sort of track. For some reason I was the only one being bitten. Nothing bad was happening to me, but I really didn't appreciate them biting me.

At this point I want to mention that I knew the entire time it was a dream; and I was thinking "Man, what a strange dream this is." And yet, I did not wake up.

So, we return to the farm/zoo where we apparently began our tour. We (no one else in my dream had a face, and I didn't get any impressions on who the other people were) decided, again for reasons beyond me, that the rattle snakes were attracted to blood. Therefore, we got a bag of blood (imagine the kind of bags the Red Cross uses when you donate blood) and started spreading it around the farm/zoo to attract the rattle snakes. This served two purposes, 1) to attract them so we could see them and 2) keep them from biting us. The only other impression I got at this point is that the snakes would hurt the other animals that were there. But, then I convinced myself they would be fine since they were high enough off of the ground (some were in like rabbit coops).

That was pretty much the end of my dream. If anyone would like to interpret it for me, please feel free. But, I already know I am crazy.


PS - The title is from Toy Story. In the dream I was wearing shorts and flip-flops. Definitely not appropriate snake hunting attire.

Snakes. Nature's quitters.

Maybe if you were wearing shants instead of shorts the snakes wouldn't bite you! :)
