Dream about Snakes Meaning

I had a weird dream with snakes last night. To give you a little information about myself  in real life, I'm scared of snakes. I can't stand looking at snakes because I don't like their skin. Snake creeps me out. I can't stand looking at them, not even in photographs.

In my dream, I saw a lot of snakes on the ground, in the trees. In my dream, I was with another person, I think my younger sister (not sure).  It seems like we were in the forest with plenty of snakes crawling on the ground and trees intertwining, surrounding us. I was frozen, did not move because I did not want to cause any movement that may trigger them to bite us. My sister which was on few steps from me, on my right also froze. I looked at the snakes I was slightly scared seeing them sticking their tongues out. Then all of the sudden, I found the courage thinking I need to protect ourselves. I got my sword hanging on my back and started killing them. Some snakes I cut the head off, some I cut their tongues. I was so brave in my dream. I did not get any bite at all. In my dream, I had the power to overcome the snakes.

In the same dream, a different scenario, after killing all those snakes, I see myself with some of my siblings and I think my dad too. We were trying to help some snakes escape from some of their enemy (pig or bigger animal). I am not sure if these are the survivor snakes among those  a group of snakes in the field or forest that I killed. I only knew that I did not feel any threat from these group of snakes and that I want to help them survive from an enemy that they are hiding from. We were trying to help them hide in an open pipe. Open in the sense that the half part of the pipe, the upper part is open so I can see them gliding there with water. Yes, the pipe has water so it was for them to glide in there. Then in that same scenario, someone came (not sure if it was a person or pig trying to attack the snakes) but in that dream scene, it seems like the person/animal that came asked us if we've seen the snakes and we said no. When that person/animal left, we assist the remaining snakes to continue gliding in the pipe with water to peacefully escape.

The color of snakes in my dream? Brown or Grayish. Common sizes. They weren't too big or fat but not a baby either.

In that same dream, there's scenario 3 but not related to snakes at all. It's a different environment and not connected to the first two snakes scenario in my dream.

I woke up with a slightly heavy heart. I guess I was a little burnt out of energy from scenario 1, killing those snakes in my dream.

Is dreaming of snakes means a warning of some kind? What does it mean to dream about snakes?
I'm really wondering about the meaning of seeing snakes in your dream so I purchased some books about the meaning of our dreams. If you are also interested, check out these books below:

Tips To Help You On Your Personal Life Journey

Helping yourself is an important part of your life planning. It needs to be planned in a way that you can accomplish all of your goals so that you can live the life you want to live. You need to research things that you can accomplish in your life. These tips below can help you with that.

Structuring your day can be an effective self-help strategy for overcoming anxiety. When you leave your day to chance, you can often become overwhelmed and stressed. By planning important events each day, you are able to take more control over your life. Also, by keeping yourself busy with planned activities, it is less likely that you will focus your attention towards other thoughts that could cause you anxiety.

Do not feel guilty telling others "no".  You don't have to think of an explanation or an excuse to say so. You have the right to your own choices.

Set goals for yourself and strive to reach them. These can be simple things like keeping a houseplant alive longer than you have in the past. Take the time to celebrate all of the things that you accomplish. Celebrating will be your inspiration to reach the next goal that you set for yourself.

Do not underestimate the importance of other people. Success is something that keeps you happy as long as you work towards it. Once you reach your goal, you must have someone to share it with to stay happy. Find a significant other that shares your dreams, and perhaps having children could help you too.

Any time that you are starting a new diet, exercise routine, course or other type of development you should make it a top priority for at least a month. After this you can probably reduce the amount of mental energy necessary as it becomes routine, but at the beginning it is essential to reinforce what you are doing.

Even though you might encounter many obstacles in your path to personal improvement, do not give up on your plans. Giving up is a sure way to not reach a goal, and you will never improve. However, if you stay with your plan, even if progress has slowed down a lot, you will eventually get to where you want to be.

Many times as you start to work on one area of your personal life, you will find that other things start to improve as well. For example, learning a language together with musical skills go hand and hand. Likewise, learning how to cook and working on exercise are very complementary.

Helping yourself ensures that you want to change your life for the better and that you want to accomplish your goals. By learning what steps you need to take to get that life you want, you'll be able to get there sooner. So, do yourself a favor and apply the above tips to your self-help plan.

Bits about me

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances and situations do color life but you have been given the mind to choose what the color shall be.

For Every Woman

by Nancy Smith

For every woman who is tired of acting weak
when she knows she is strong,
There is a man who is tired of appearing strong
when he feels vulnerable.

For every woman who is tired of acting dumb,
There is a man who is burdened with the constant
expectation of knowing everything.

For every woman who is tired of being called
emotional female, There is a man who is denied
the full right to weep and be gentle.

For every woman who feels tied down by her children,
There is a man who is denied the full pleasure
of shared parenthood.

For every woman who is denied meaningful
employment and equal pay,
There is a man who must bear full financial
responsibility for another human being.

For every woman who was not taught the
intricacies of an automobile,
There is a man who was not taught
the satisfaction of cooking.

For every woman who takes a step towards
her own liberation, There is a man who
finds that the way to freedom has
been made a little easier.

I like this poem. We play different roles in life, yet if we watch close enough, we are all equal. We all have ups and downs, strengths and weaknesses, and we all are NOT perfect individuals. Nobody is.

My Beautiful Angel

Thanksgiving is over and we had decorated the house for the Christmas season. One of my favorite decors is this beautiful, very colorful angel.

Isn't it pretty? Yes, it is. For someone like me that loves colors, it is. Aside from the fact that I do love angels. I mean the angels of light.

The word Angels, derived from the Greek word "Angelos" which means "messenger". It is believed in many religions that between God and mankind, there are intermediary beings, the angels and they take on a variety of different forms. Maybe even human? ( Possible isn't it?)

Do you believe that there are many angels here on earth? People that have touched our hearts and inspired us, in any other ways and have helped us and assist us in making easier choices in life and help us grow through experiences with joy and with more ease. The people that help us become a better person. I call them earth angels. They all are blessings from the highest. Have a blessed day everyone. Go and spread your wings. Be an angel to other people and draw them closer to the light.

What is Success?

Hello gorgeous people! I just woke up. I am still sleepy but I am happy for another beautiful day God has given me. I want to share with you this definition of success.

Success is speaking words of praise, In cheering other people's ways.

In doing just the best you can, With every task and every plan.

It's silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor's curt.

It's deafness when the scandal flows, And sympathy with others' woes.

It's loyalty when duty calls, It's courage when disaster falls.

It's patience when the hours are long, It's found in laughter and in song.

It's in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair.

In all of life and nothing less, We find the thing we call success.

Have a wonderful day everyone! Let's all be reminded of what success really means and practice it in our daily living. Let's all be successful.

This Day in History: Battle of Britain Is Won (1940)

The Battle of Britain was the first major failure of the Germans in WWII. The Royal Air Force (RAF), outgunned and outmanned, defeated the German Luftwaffe and thwarted Hitler's plan for an amphibious invasion, which he had hoped would put a quick end to the war. The event was not only a testament to the courage of British pilots, but it also marked the first time a major battle was fought entirely in the air

Today's Birthday : Chiang Kai-shek (1887)

Chiang Kai-shek was an influential Chinese nationalist leader of the 20th century. During the Chinese Civil Wars of 1926-1949, he led the conservative Kuomintang (KMT) party in an attempt to eradicate the Chinese Communists. He ultimately failed, and his government was forced to retreat to Taiwan, where he continued serving as the President of the Republic of China and Director-General of the KMT for the remainder of his life.

Conversation Etiquette

I am currently reading a book entitled, “The Book of Etiquette” written by Michael Macfarlane. The book considered the usual: where to place the dessert spoon, the rules of tipping, party invitations, and dealing with late guest. It also addresses the etiquette of the Internet and a few tips on traveling abroad and the customs of other countries. It is quite an interesting book to read. I want to share with you the conversation etiquette.

Conversation has been compared to dancing, fencing, and chess. It can be uplifting, boring, revealing, exciting, painful, tense, awkward, or comfortable. The first thing to learn in the art of conversation is the difficult task of being a good listener. Any conversation will be less than pleasant if you are not in the conversation as an active participant. According to the author, if you are not carrying the conversation and the subject is of no interest to you or simply bores you, fake it. Good manners demand that you attempt a participation in the conversation subject if only to learn, and all the while appear interested. If you are carrying or dominating the conversation, stop and listen to yourself. Make the necessary adjustments to keep from boring others.

The be physically present. When you are conversing with someone, give them your mental and physical attention. Do not look over his shoulder to see who else may be in the room. Do not look away to find the food or examine the décor of the room.

Walking into any social event where you do not know most everyone is a conversation challenge. There are a few people who are who have the easy presence to begin a conversation with anyone and move from person to person effortlessly. The rest of us need to think about this situation.

Bad conversation clichés are better left unsaid. Introduce yourself, smile, and try not to say anything completely absurd. Weather is usually a bad topic unless it is on everyone’s mind. A compliment on the person’s attire or appearance is good, as are comments about the economy, something in the news, or a common professional topic.

The author also stressed to avoid beginning a conversation in an argumentative tone or taking up a position that you know may be controversial. Still, the best advice is to be yourself, smile, listen for a bit to see the direction of the talk or pick up something from the introduction and step in ever so lightly.

Personal Questions and Hot Topics
Personal questions are difficult to handle even between two good friends who are alone. In asocial situation, keep it simple and light. Sometimes this flows into meaningless chatter, but that is better than an insult or an offense. You can admire a dress without asking where it came from or how much it cost. You can wish someone a return to health without commenting on an obvious limp or scar.

Do not ask questions about someone’s financial situation, the condition of their marriage, or the current relationship with a former beau or spouse. Unless you are at a political party rally or in a church meeting, it is usually good to avoid politics and religion.

If you feel strongly about a subject and are not sure with people you know feel the same, it is usually better not to get entangled in the subject.

Complaints, Sarcasm & Humor
Here are the three more conversational directions or insertions that can cause some real problems, either for the speaker or the listener. No one wants to hear your complaints. When an acquaintance or a person just introduced at a social situation asks how you are, they are simply conforming to polite conversation. In return, you say you are just fine or some such, so they are not forced to share your burdens while at a party.

Sarcasm is also a sword better left sheathed. You will find, perhaps more often than you wish, persons, who know no other form of attempted humor than sarcasm. Unless you consider yourself the master of the one-line retort, do not attempt to answer sarcasm with sarcasm. This type of response too easily misses the mark and is simply offensive. Sarcasm is usually best met with a very mellow and general response or a delicate change of subject.

If you walk into a conversation and feel you must say something very humorous to break the ice- don’t. Humor is a delicate thing. When you share a sense of humor with someone, it can be wonderful and you can bounce with quips off one another comfortable all night. If you are not aware of what a person or group of people consider humorous, proceed slowly.

Here is a brief summation of conversational bad manners to avoid at all costs.

~ The Bore – This one generally talks about himself or herself and has no patience for anyone else.

~ The Know It All – Many times at social gatherings you will meet people who really do know a lot. These people are generally quite reserved about their knowledge. Beware the persons who want to play can-you-top-this with every subject presented.

~ The Loud Mouth – Conversation is generally a quiet pastime, occasionally interrupted by genuine laughter.

~ The Whiner – You may have some very legitimate problems, but a social gathering is not the place to air them. Call your priest, pastor, mother-in-law, or a close friend concerning these issues. However, when you go to a party or dinner, leave these issues at home.

~ The Ferret – This one asks the very personal questions, tries to unearth as much dirt as possible and is oblivious to the offense he or she gives in an attempt to dig out more, while exhibiting an insincere façade of interest or concern.

~ The Scanner – This one seems to have a head that is attached similarly to that of a barn owl. While conversing with you, they can scan the entire room for a full 360 degrees in search of persons more attractive or more important than you.

~ The Linguist – Regardless of the makeup of the accumulated visitors, this one needs all to be aware they speak another language.

If you are one of these, take heed.
