I woke up early (early for a holiday :P) because of my dream. I dreamed that I was in an old house, though it doesn’t look old, but in my dreams I feel like it’s old…weird…so I was planning to rearrange some furniture in there (but the house wasn’t mine), I was alone, when I saw a snake, cobra to be specific, fell from the cracked ceiling. My instinct told me to go outside so I did. But the snake was so fast it found its way to the door and was trying to push the door open. Man, that’s too strong for a snake, right? Anyway, there’s no way I could lock the door from the outside so I’m just pushing it against the snake. Yeah, the door is weird too. But then the snake found a small opening on the corner of the door and it got out. I dunno why I didn’t ran away. The snake’s gonna bite me when I woke up and never went back to sleep. Sheesh.
I don’t normally have this kind of dream. Usually I dream about usual stuff, no too-weird-i-think-it-is-trying-to-send-me-a-message dream. By the way, I’m not so superstitious and all but I’m curious. :P So I searched for dream symbols/meanings. And I found these…
House
To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self. Specific rooms in the house indicate a specific aspect of your psyche. In general, the attic represents your intellect, the basement represents the unconscious, etc. If the house is empty (I’m alone but it has furniture, is that empty?), then it indicates feelings of insecurity. If the house is shifting, then it suggests that you are going through some personal changes and changing your belief system. To dream that a house has no walls, represents a lack of privacy. You feel that everyone is looking over your shoulder or up in your business. If you live with others in your walking life, but dream that you are living alone, suggests that you need to take new steps toward independence. You need to accept responsibilities and be more self-reliant. (Oh, but I can’t leave my sisters on their own yet) If you are locked out of the house, then it represents rejection and insecurity. You feel you are being left behind.
To dream that you are cleaning your house, signifies your need to clear out your thoughts and get rid of old ways. You are seeking self-improvement. To see a new house in your dream, indicates that you are entering into a new phase or new area in your life. You are becoming more emotionally mature. If you are locked out of the house, then it represents rejection and insecurity. You feel you are being left behind.
To see an old, run-down house in your dream, represents your old beliefs, attitudes and how you used to think or feel. (But it’s not that old-looking…) A situation in your current life may be bringing about those same old attitudes and feelings. Alternatively, the old house may symbolize your need to update you mode of thinking. To dream that your house is damaged, indicates your waking concerns about the condition of your house. (The house in my dream wasn’t mine)
Living Room
To dream that you are in the living room, represents the image that you portray to others and the way which you go about your life. It is representative of your basic beliefs about yourself and who you are. Alternatively, the living room is indicative of your freedom and space. The living room is a symbolic boundary between your personal self and your public self. Objects that do not belong in the living room denote the various aspects of your life that are invading your personal space. (Uhm, can we say that the cobra doesn’t belong in the living room?)
Furniture
To see furniture in your dream, represents how you feel about yourself and your family. It refers to your relationships with others and how they fit into your life.
To dream that you are moving furniture, indicates that you are going out of your way to please others. (What if I’m just planning to move them and I wasn’t able to move them?) Also, you may be changing your ways and trying to reevaluate your relationships/attitudes. Consider how easy or how difficult it is to move the furniture as they may indicate the level of burden or responsibility you are feeling.
To see old or worn furniture in your dream, symbolizes outdated attitudes, former relationships, and/or old ways of thinking.
Cobra
To see a cobra in your dream, represents creation and creative energies. Some situation or relationship has you hypnotized.
*Please see also Snake. (Oh, I wish I didn’t…look…)
Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. (Ok…) Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. (Hmm…) Alternatively, the snake may be seen as phallic and thus symbolize temptation, dangerous and forbidden sexuality. In particular, to see a snake on your bed, suggests that you are feeling sexually overpowered or sexually threatened. You may be inexperienced, nervous or just unable to keep up. (HUH???) If you are afraid of the snake, then it signifies your fears of sex, intimacy or commitment. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can’t be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent healing, transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive change. (Can I just stick to the positive meaning?)

A snake ready to strike means treachery from one you least expected; killing it means victory over enemies. -petrix.com Oh, this one’s scary…
I found these interpretations a bit funny and scary. All in all, it’s so confusing. So was it trying to warn me or just trying to tell me I’m doing a good job? Or both? Or neither? Meh. Dreams are weird and complicated. But then again, they’re just dreams, right?
