A few days before I went for the retreat, I had this weird dream... of a snake D:
It was a king cobra, and a rattlesnake...
well, a king cobra's head and a rattlesnake's tail.
I was in my primary school, and somehow, I was wandering around :x
I came to the far end of the school block, and I was walking on the 2nd floor...
(staff room at the 1st floor)
I entered the classroom, and suddenly this king cobra/rattlesnake
chasing me.
and somehow; I knew it was going to kill me.
It had some malicious intent =/
Imagine the head like this:
and a tail like this:
TnT
I was SUPER scared okay?!
That snake, kept coming at me... so I ran la; from one end to another end of the corridor.
There was once or twice I actually caught the snake by its neck, but it bit itself on the tail,
I was freaked out that I released it, and it chased after me again.
But that's not all, I actually entered the classrooms along the corridor to escape from it;
from the backdoor to the front door... and there was the snake, following me VERY closely.
As soon as I entered the classroom, begging the teachers for help; they either:
1. say they can't, and ignore me...
2. try to help, but their efforts are in vain.
So much that once I had entered this classroom, and the teacher instructed the
students to close the backdoor...
(cause I entered via backdoor and ran out through front door).
Guess what? They planned to keep the snake trapped in that classroom...
But their efforts FAILED.
AGAIN D:
As they were closing the front door, I looked behind my shoulder and found out that
the snake managed to slip out from the doors and were sliding towards me with full speed!!
D: D:
As I was running to the third floor, one of the students from afar screamed to me;
she told me to run into that classroom;
THAT teacher was skilled at <s>handling</s> (killing, more like) snakes.
So I did. I ran into that classroom... and begged the teacher to help me.
He was weaing a white shirt and was in his 30s or something (hmm...)
I entered the classroom from the front, and ran to the back of the class and ran to the front
(like taking a really huge circle around the classroom)
and then I watched in awe as the teacher caught the snake and killed it (gorily)
He took the snake by its neck, used two fingers and ripped the snake's muscle out
*shivers*
After that, I stayed in the classroom, and he didn't leave the classroom, staying by my side *u*
There were other snakes, but as soon as they got within 2 metres to me,
he caught them and killed them.
Afterwards, I think I either woke up or the dream shifted; but I remembered this
particular dream cause of the snake :S
I thought it was just a regular frightening dream =/
But it turned out to be a message of some sort XD
After the retreat, (in the reality) I was reading an article on snake farming.
And there was the snake farmer saying that he wouldn't breed venomus vipers anymore
cause he almost died of their snake bite once and that he valued life more than money.
Immediately, I saw the snake as the serpent (devil) which I was trying to escape
for fear of its venomous bite.
I was running to all sorts of classrooms (which represented "false prophets")
and finally found the correct classroom who really killed the snake.
The teacher was probably the Holy Spirit...
John 14:26
"From now on the Helper, the
Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things and remind you of all that I have told you."
And it was said that once the Holy Spirit comes to you, He NEVER leaves you.
8D
So that was my snake dream XD
which turns out to have a special meaning behind it:
The Holy Spirit will never leave you; so you don't need to be afraid of spiritual snakes =)
