Dreams
Someone here knows what dreams means?
I dreamt that I was in some kind of studio, on a small room with glass windows and cameras behind them. And the scenery was something like a yellow dry, solid ground/rock, like the ground in “The Gods Must Be Crazy”. And there was a hole in the middle of it, with some pipes/tubes going up and I had to “walk” over them or just stand up over them. And in the bottom of the hole, and over the ground, there was snakes. Lots of them. But, for some reason, even when I got some in my hands, they couldn’t/wouldn’t bite me. I mean, I really go the impression that some of them just ignored me, and some I hold in the right place and couldn’t move enough to bite me.
Weird, huh?
Edit: Actually, I decided to do my homework and found this:
Jung interpreted snakes as symbolic of the conflict between conscious attitudes and instincts.
and
To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business.
and even
In its psychological interpretation a snake in your dream is a phallic symbol, and to dream of one, especially if it was coiled around you, or otherwise on your body, is a warning that you may be a slave to either your sexual passions or repression. However, according to the oracles, snakes in a dream are warnings of various troubles, obstacles, or treachery. Of course the colors and other details must be carefully considered, but as a general rule: to dream that you were bitten by one portends a period of struggle against unfortunate circumstances, and if it was a cobra, it carries a special warning to guard against accidents in the following few weeks. If your dream featured a snake wound around you which you could not throw off, you are being warned to expect treachery where you least suspect it. To dream of being surrounded and unable to kill more than one or two indicates that you are in danger of being seriously cheated by someone you trust, but if you managed to kill (or get rid of) them all, it is a sign that you will succeed in spite of any hostile opposition; to walk over snakes without trying to kill them suggests that you will, in the end, actually turn the tables on those who are trying to block your way. To dream of playfully handling snakes suggests that you are in danger of being led astray by unprincipled friends or associates; and if your dream featured a professional snake charmer at work, it indicates that you will have to defend your reputation against malicious gossip.
On the pipes:
The ability to meet your obligations and solve your own problems is promised in a dream of smoking a pipe, and this augury applies to any dream featuring a tobacco pipe, unless it was broken, in which case it signifies a parting from a valued friend. Plumbing pipes, gas pipes, or chemical pipes indicate that your pessimistic outlook tends to make you a victim of circumstances; try trading your worm’s-eye view for a bird’s-eye view.
also, more Freudian
Number three has in dreams symbolic meaning of man’s sexual organ. All dream ideas which consist of three parts can mean the man’s sexual organ. Phallus is symbolically substituted with all things that are similar to it by their form, namely long things that jut out: mountains, rocks, sticks, umbrellas, poles, trees… Then objects for which the penetration in the body and harming is characteristic - weapons: knifes, daggers, lances, sabres, swords… and fire arms: guns, rifles, revolvers, cannons… Obviously, the phallus is also substituted with objects from which water runs: pipes, watering-pots, fountains… and with objects that can be lengthened: hanging lights, extensible pens, aerials… Balloons, airplanes, helicopters, rockets, etc. are symbols of erection. Less evident male sexual symbols are reptiles and fish, especially a symbol of snake. A hat and a coat as well as various machines and appliances have the same meaning.
