for nearly three years now, I've had reoccurring, almost clinging dreams that always involve a large black snake. it could be the most normal dream, and there's always the snake. sometimes it kills me, sometimes it eats itself, sometimes its just there, but ive never actually figured out why.
more recently, they've started to merge with traumatic memories, creating less than tasty dreams, but im curious as to weather or not people have had similar experiences with maybe not a snake, but a similar dream-being. ive tried to do my research, but dreaming is so often disputed.
i have talked to a sleep specialist and a therapist about this, and they dont know. they know as far as the fact that the traumatic memories is normal, to dream about, but they arent sure of the snake.
if anyone has any advice, similar stories, or things to try i would be so glad to hear it
