Your Messenger message:

"Sir Tony, Magandang umaga... Gusto ko po sanang itanong ang ibig sabihin ng panaginip ko. Napanaginipan ko po ang isang higanteng ahas sobrang taas nya at laki pero namatay siya sa panaginip ko sa pagkasunog. Ano po kayang Ibig sabihin nun? Marami pong salamat po."


My reply:

Hello _______!

First of all, you sent me a dream fragment, not a dream narrative, and that is all I have to base an interpretation on.

In this fragment, the giant snake represents the dark side of yourself. It is probably long-withheld anger, mainly toward a parental figure. It is a wonderful dream, though, in that the giant snake does not attack or overwhelm you--it self-destructs. Indeed, the negative recollection of a parent can be destroyed by fire, only to rise again as a positive phoenix figure. The people we have been conditioned to hate, after all, are three-dimensional human beings who have transient emotions, transient dreams, and their own share of tragedies.
