Dream: In my dream, I awoke from a sound sleep, to discover a large snake laying on my back. The snake was the entire length of my torso. I could feel its weight. It was still. I did not have the sensation of it being dead, nor being in imminent danger, but more so, feeling though a preventive action was needed to have snake removed immediately, before it became a threat. I remember asking someone, don't know who, but I think it was a female, to remove this snake by prying it loose with a stick, and to fling it far away from us. I also was aware there were mice running around near by, and although I was repulsed by them, they were not involved in the immediate scene.
