Dream
I woke up in a completely different house within downtown of my city. The house looked similar to my current one but the layout was different. I remember waking up in the living room (I believe), sitting on a brown couch with the walls painted blue. I proceeded to walk towards a window of the room with white bars attached and stare at what was outside. I saw a gray street with cars parked towards the sides, town houses across from our house, a slight view of the city behind the houses, and noticed the street was on a hill because of how it sloped upwards the further left it went. I remember looking left to further explore the room I was in and saw a dead milk snake hanging from a pothos plant hanging from the ceiling. I was spooked by this and remember asking my dad if he was going to get rid of the dead snake in the house. In this part of my dream, I don’t remember what he said but it’s insinuated he didn’t attempt to get rid of the snake. After this, I sat back on the couch and suddenly saw another snake coming out of the plant. It was a large yellow copperhead and this snake proceeded to eat the dead milksnake in its entirety. I was shocked at what I have seen and froze. After the copperhead finished eating, it slowly turned its head towards me and slowly began to slither its way to me, as if it were hunting its prey. I remember I was still frozen in shock and didn’t move until the snake started to slither upward from the couch toward my feet. The copperhead then bit off a chunk of my left foot and started bleeding profusely. I SCREECHED in pain and yelled to my dad: “HELP! I NEED AN AMBULANCE! I GOT BITTEN BY A SNAKE!” And my dad said to call them and he didn’t understand why I was waiting. I kept screaming but he didn’t call for help. I remember my mom’s voice saying: “What’s happening?!” in Spanish. The snake proceeded to bite me one more time, this time on my Achilles tendon. I then reach for my phone, opened the phone app, pressed 911, and as soon I tapped the call button, I woke up from this dream with my heart racing rapidly.
