these dreams

[cornerofmadness]

I had the weirdest dream this morning. Kanda and I were walking up my parents’ driveway, which is very steep with trees along it (looks pretty, keeps ice on the road though). Kanda was trotting along like a dog. Suddenly, I see something in the grass, moving at high speed. It’s a boa constrictor moving at the speeds suggesting it drank Red Bull.

It hit Kanda and immediately wrapped right around him. Screaming, I ran over to help. Now, I’ve been handling snakes since I was a kid. I’ve been in charge of boas before, not to mention I’m a devotee of Steve Irwin, Jeff Corwin and Billy the Exterminator. I know how to get a snake. I catch it behind its big head and its mouth is open dripping venom (more like a cobra than a boa).

Kanda looks pretty lifeless but he’s still crying a little so I get the snake off in a flash. Kanda gets up and I’m pissed. I’m going to through this bastard snake on the road so someone will run him over (I like snakes so this is unusual for me). Suddenly, it’s now winter and there’s a big drift between me and the road.

I throw it anyhow. Have I mentioned I throw like a girl? Yeah, I really do. I can never figure out when to let the ball go so either it soars straight up or I spike it into the ground two feet in front of me. I end up spiking the snake but when it hits, it transforms into a pissed-off leopard.

Now I’m nervous because it’s ready to attack me but I stare it down. Finally, the cat looks away and runs from me. I hear my parents behind me asking what’s wrong. I’m telling mom and dad that Kanda got wrapped by a boa and they need to go back to the house and call the vet to see if we can bring him in just in case he has internal damage.

Dad carries him home and mom goes with him. I look for the leopard for a moment then follow up the hill. Just as I get to the garage, I hear this noise. A helicopter falls from the sky and hits the ground and starts cutting into it going in circles, like it would in a cartoon.

I race in the house, screaming for mom to call 911 because a helicopter just crashed in the yard. She does that and she and I look out the back door and all these animals are exiting the helicopter. I forget them all but they were zoo animals. The only one I can remember is a gorilla with triplets riding underbelly like opossums. My dad doesn’t want me to go out there but I have to help the pilot before the helicopter explodes (delusions of grandeur much?)

Then I woke up with a vague feeling the dream was somehow important. Like I’m going to be strong enough to overcome something heading my way. I open the bedroom door and there is a pride of lions looking at me with Roy in the lead. Roy never camps out in front of the door. Maybe I just need strength not to be brought down and get eaten by my cats. Lord knows Soul tries that one a lot.

I love dreams like that that you wake from feeling like you were supposed to garner something of GREAT IMPORTANCE from it, only you have really no clue what it is.
