Dream Analysis: Giving birth to a new stage in life

Dream:

I'm at the birth centre having my first child. Things do not progress and I go to the counter with my husband and we are given some red things. My husband feeds me one and then think it was a pessary and I should have inserted it. Turns out I had to eat two - they tasted like red jelly - and insert one - that is both my husband and I were right. Then I go back to the room, my husband is outside, and I insert the pessary. I look down and I can see the baby, who comes out very easily and I call my husband. (this is VERY unlike my first child's birth).

Interpretation: (by C. W. Nandi)

The dream starts off as a memory of a past event. You already gave birth to you first child. The dream is from the past. This indicates that your present subconscious is telling you something about your future using images and symbolism from your past.

The message involves you and your husband collaborating to "give birth to something new". There seems to be a misunderstanding regarding the 'red things'. Your husband feeds it to you while you thought that you should have inserted it. It turns out you were both right since you both chewed it and inserted one.

There was no rancor or animosity in the dream despite the confusion. You noticed that your childbirth went smoothly (which was not the reality of your first child's birth).

Red is a very powerful color in both eastern and western mythology. Red indicates passion, heat. It also indicates luck in some Eastern cultures. The dream indicates an undertaking that will pay off handsomely for you and your husband. This project has something to do with money. The key to it working out is that you and your husband see eye to eye and remain agreeable even if you arrive at two differing conclusions. The dream also indicates a maturing relationship, the birth of a new level of understanding between you and your husband.

The meaning of snakebite dreams

Dream:

Your blog, The Dream Pool, is fascinating, and I have a dream I'd like to submit for analysis.

I was in a large house (not my own; I don't know whose).

Suddenly I noticed that there was a poisonous coral snake sliding along the floor.

It looked just like THIS. It was about a foot long. There were a couple other people in the house who presumably went to call an emergency number so someone could come remove the snake from the house.

Soon afterward, though, I looked down and realized to my horror that the snake was crawling up my pantleg.

I reached down, hoping to grab it before it could bite me, but by then it had crawled all the way up to my stomach, and it bit me on my stomach and my hands.

No one came to help; I simply received a vague assurance that the animal control people had been called. No one called 911 to get help for my venomous snake bite.

Then I noticed that there was also a large rattlesnake in the house. It looked like THIS. It was at least 2 feet long, and as big around as a baby's arm. I managed to corral it in one of the bathrooms. No one else helped.

When the animal control people finally arrived, I told them where the rattlesnake was.

But, as soon as the bathroom door opened, the rattlesnake came out and rushed at me and bit me.

The dream ended with me suffering from two painful snake bites.

I woke up before I could die.

Interpretation: (by G. Franklin)

Earlier dream analysts (usually of the Freudian mold), might think your dream is sexual in nature. The snake is often viewed as a phallic symbol in Western traditions and mythology. However, the context of the snake images in your dream point to a different, non-sexual, interpretation. Coral snakes crawling up your pant leg notwithstanding. Both snakes in your dream are highly poisonous. The coral snake is one of the deadliest snakes in the USA and the rattlesnake's venom produces a lot of pain. It is also interesting that you mentioned that you were in a house that is not yours. Unfamiliar territory. This is a good place to start in interpreting your dream.

You were in a house that is not yours. You are in an unfamiliar setting. It appears from your dream that when the emergency occurs, there is no one to help. You feel unappreciated in an unfamiliar setting. You do not feel comfort and belonging. This setting indicates that there are situations in your life in which you feel out of place and uneasy.
Are you in a relationship that you doubt or are not fully happy in? Are you in a job which doesn't fulfill you?

Your dream is about having to make a choice. You feel that you are alone in making choices because people who you would think would care about you seemingly disappear at the moments that count (the failure to call 911 at the beginning of your dream) You don't feel in control of your life and you feel that certain situations and choices just happen to you. You fear that even when people do try to help you (finally), they can't do much (in your dream, the rattlesnake bit you even when there were Animal Control people trying to assist you).

You should think about why you feel like you have no control over certain aspects of your life. This would probably be a good time to see (honestly) if there's any addictions present in your life.

It is also very telling when you assumed you will die when you stated " I woke up before I could die". There are many dream where people see their deaths. Maybe by walking through this doorway of fear, they were able to glimpse what would liberate them in their waking lives?
