Oy, Jason...read it again....
I am walking *on* the water not wading through it <grin>
In my own person dream mythology which I have been observing since I
was a small child, bodies of water are Universal Consciousness and as
someone recently pointed it out to me, in this instance, the Abyss.
Snakes and serpents are personal totem animals for me just like
dragons and lions. Snakes appear to me right before momentous
transformation and an intense surge of kundalini activity and bliss.
(and yes this has been happening to me since this dream of several
weeks ago).
It is just not your every day species of snakes I see but
mythological serpents as well. The most amazing ones have wings
growing out from behind their heads and have brilliant geometric
designs on their skins. It used to be I would wade through rooms of
snakes and serpents. There would be so many you wouldn't be able to
see the floor. (kinda like that scene in Indiana Jones except there
are more.) They would coil around my legs and up my body and bite me.
I used to be scared when this started happening years ago...probably
a race memory of revulsion. Now I know that it is an omen of coming
initiation. I still shiver involuntarily when it happens. The fangs
are sharp and puncture my skin to the bone and often times the
serpents will chew my flesh till they make a hole big enough to
burrow through and get into my body. I am lucid dreaming when this
happens and sometimes they are in visions.
Serpents are common classical archetypes of kundalini energy and
activity. So are dragons and lions but not as commonly. We actually
have someone on this list who is known by the name Serpent as you
know :) We are serpent sisters, her and I.
What made this dream notable was the snakes were all underwater. This
had never happened before. I could see them swimming up from the cold
clear depths until they were just under the surface rubbing against
the bottoms of my feet. Then the biting and chewing begins. (A
classical symtpom of k activation is energy moving in through the
feet, particularly the big toe).
Cutting and flesh mutilation are shamanic activities used to increase
transcendence whether by inciting an endorphin rush, letting the
spirits in or out, or to signify a rite of passage. I had an Ojibwa
medicine man come to me over 10 years ago in a dream and cut designs
into my face, deep into the bone...I could feel the knife tip hitting
the bone and the blood flowing down my face like water. It did not
hurt although I could feel strong pressure. He gave me a new name
which I could not hear.
I don't think the snakes were taking anything from me. I think that
can be a common misunderstanding in being bitten or chewed or invaded
in dreams. It does not mean that something is being taken from you.
It could be a ritual of transformation and death and rebirth.
Even just writing this to you makes my third eye buzz and snap with
energy so I think I may be on the right track. For anyone who is k
active it might be instructive for them to take notice when serpent
symbology appears in their dreams or shows up in their lives because
of the intimate association with kundalini over the millenia.
And dreams are multilayered with different levels of meaning. I have
been quite busy lately...making the rounds and talking to executive
recruiters. So I may look to where I need to practice some energy
conservation and energetic hygiene.
Peace back at ya,
Susan
