K creates feelings that are similar to movements of serpents (sine -
curves and helixes). I haven't had K-visions of serpents either, but
people of ancient cultures who probably didn't deal with sine-curves and
helixes (helix=snake coiled to rest) that much are more ready to associate
their feelings with serpents. In a dream one could possibly experience
these snakey feelings, and being in a state of strong associative activity
that dreams are, will see serpents doing various things. I had a vision of
serpent swimming in water in one of my pre-K psychedelic experiences,
which is quite natural... since psychedelic state is characterized by
loose association.

Yes, definitely. I would recommend studying Zen to anyone who is having
problems like this with K. Zen is a "safe" and scientific way to handle
what you have, instead of turning to esoteric and somewhat suspicious
"gurus".

If one wanted encouragement, one would go to a local new age shop and buy
a book about harmonizing one's chakras according to the phase of starts.
Warnings are stuff that must be got from lists like this. And they are
undoubtedly more important...
