snakes in my belly
I am trying to get two rattle snakes into a large cardboard box (I don't remember seeing the snakes) and moved somewhere safe where no one will get hurt. I am upset that the box has a hole opening on two opposite sides where the snakes could escape. I keep trying to block off the holes because I don't want the snakes getting out. When I stand up I become terrified. I realize that I didn't actually put the snakes in a box at all, but in my belly. The two holes are the openings for intake and elimination. I am utterly horrified that I have two dangerous rattlesnakes in my belly. I can't walk fast because the swaying of my hips might upset them and cause them to bite me internally. I don't know how to get them out of my belly. In the box I could have shaken them out but in my belly they might bite me and kill me from within. So I walk, barely breathing, barely moving with two venomous, dangerous snakes in my belly, wanting desperately to find a way to get them out without killing/injuring myself or hurting anyone else.
I wake up scared. Several minutes pass before I am calm enough to admit that I don't have real snakes in my belly. I feel upon waking that this dream is telling me something vital about my health, something I need to hearken to.
Upon reflection the snakes may be my own suppressed life energy that has been buried each time I have swallowed and denied anger or fury throughout my life. This suppressed energy terrifies me but is getting more venomous and dangerous to my own health the longer I keep it locked within me without much life energy left for living, moving or breathing.
