The dream analysis thread.

Just looking at another thread made me wonder about this and I'm sure there are people on DS who'd enjoy an opportunity to have a stab at it.
Here's one for people to get their teeth into for starters...
The other night I dreamed that there was some kind of derelict stone cottage in an old field where I used to play as a kid (although I was an adult in the dream).
It was, apparently, inhabited by a huge white snake which'd poke it's head out through the doors, windows and holes in the walls to stop anybody getting inside.
This didn't seem to particularly upset me and it seemed as though I was treating it as a game, going up to a window, waiting for the snake to appear and then ducking out of the way.
A couple of my mates appeared and asked what I was doing.
I explained about the snake and one of them said "A snake? Like this one?" and, at that point, a small black snake appeared, jumped at my mate and bit him on the arm.
Next thing, my mates were being loaded into an ambulance and, as a result, I was left on my own again and I recall feeling kind of guilty because it (somehow) meant that I could now get inside the cottage, while everybody was otherwise occupied, for the purpose of retrieving a bag of luggage that I had, apparently, stored there earlier.
So, there it is. What'd ya reckon?
FWIW, I don't have any phobia of snakes in reality so I don't think that was really significant.
Feel free to post up other dreams for people to laugh and poke fun at, erm, I mean analyse, as well.

The dead people are people I loved and had no issue with, so there is no reason in reality why they should want to frighten me.
Another nightmare I have occasionally concerns demons. I will be sitting somewhere in my house - or sometimes in a strange house - and will suddenly catch something from corner of my eye, and when I look I will see a demon - usually crouched down and peeping out from behind a chair or something. When it sees that I have seen it, it stands up and starts to approach me, smiling. It's at that point I usually wake up howling.
I was in the countryside and I was fox hunting. However While following the hunting dogs, I was in a Jeep kind of car inside of on a horse.
I was racing around the country lanes chasing the dogs when I suddenly pulled into a farmyard. Which seemed to be deserted so I got out of the car and walked towards a large barn. Behind it were a lot of old animal pens and one of them was open, with the door swinging in the breeze.
I was nervous that something had escaped so walked into the big barn. Upon where I found some more cages with various big cats in them.
I called to some people (who up until now were unseen) and they came in. I don't remember who they were but after seeing the cages they seemed to panic. We all ran out of the barn where a huge Lion was stalking around. (which had obviously escaped from the initial animal pen) The other people ran off leaving me facing the Lion.
It pounced and bit my foot clean off. So with bloody stump I ran or should I say hopped back into the big barn and found a stair case. I went down the stairs and found myself in a multi storey car park????
That was where the dream ended.
How weird is that.
Wow. They both sound really scary. Have you had these sorts of dreams for a long time?
Last nights dream was about wasps, I'm petrified of them and they were everywhere around me and I couldn't get away from them, and when their faces came near me it was magnified so I could see every tiny detail on their horrible little faces.
The night before I dreamt that the people buying our house couldn't buy it anymore because of mortgage problems and this then led to us losing the house we've put an offer on.
The night before that I dreamt that when we were on holiday and my eldest daughter was out far in the ocean that she was attacked by sharks.
Many years.
Not very often. Often enough for it to be a standing joke with my wife - who ribs me about waking up howling.
