semi-nightmare dream...* * * ok

Hello,

I had a rather bizarre dream at first, but it was almost a nightmare at the same time.
I see myself receiving a letter from my best friend and her husband. The beginning of the letter is written by my friend and talks about rather cheerful things, then the second part of the letter is written by my friend's husband.
He analyzes the handwriting of the man I am currently in love with. He writes, “This man has small handwriting, which means he is not confident. You see, his handwriting is not assured, which means he is fragile…”; the letter discusses the man I love by “dissecting him through his handwriting.”
As I was reading the mail, a small black snake slithered from the mail toward me. I jumped (in real life, I am a true snake phobic). I was very scared and I screamed in my dream. Then, my little girl arrived, and so did my mother. My mother reassured me and said, “Don’t be afraid, it’s not mean. We’ll take care of it.”
With that, my daughter grabs the snake and starts cutting off its head (very easily, which scares me even more).
She grabs his skin and pulls it off, "undressing" him, then hands him to my mother, who tells me, "That'll make a good meal; you can eat it, you know." She takes the snake's flesh to cut it up.
I am unable to react and tell her that I don’t understand why my girlfriend is sending me a snake.
Then I woke up in a sweat (I’m terrified of snakes!!).

There you go, thank you for your help in interpreting.

Good evening Malergo

Letter:
Receiving: good news, future wealth,
to read: to get married,
write: some interesting news,
Open: Beware of thieves

Merriment:
To feel gay may mean an improvement in one's life, in the face of a difficult situation.
Laugh announces the opposite; one aspect of the dreamer's life is misaligned. Soon, he will realize the absurdity of a choice.

Friend:
A friend represents a positive side of our personality that helps us get through temporary struggles.
Dreaming of it can also foretell the help of a friend.
Generally, this dream signifies support during difficult times.

Man:
Man is the solar symbol.
For a woman: Sexual, erotic. Dreaming of a stranger forces her to view the personality of the man she is currently involved with in a different light.
If she dreams of a famous man: he represents the true relationship she has or will have with him. This dream determines the quality of this feeling or her romantic relationships.

Snake:
The most versatile symbol, drawing its source from time immemorial; it is the undifferentiated force, sometimes positive, sometimes negative.
It is everything that is unconscious vital principle.
The serpent is hermaphroditic, it joins the two souls, feminine and masculine. The luciferian entities penetrate Eve under the symbol of the serpent, and she understood the capacity to think, to be conscious of her instincts and her body, and to choose between good and evil.
He is the god of darkness who transforms into the god of light.
In symbolism, it is associated with the underworlds, the depths of the earth, the primordial waters, as well as the heavens, the firmament, and the purified air.
And in this transfer, there are demonic energies that are transmuted into divine energy as the light penetrates us through perfection.
The snake that follows us represents our intuition guiding us.
In dreams, it most often expresses our sexual life.
Black and matte It announces a danger coming from within oneself, a tendency toward excessive pessimism in love, and a cause of emotional misfortune.
Black and shiny It indicates dark times in love because the beloved is not right for us.

To cry, Cry:
It can signify something malevolent, the drama before the oppressor, or even protestation. But on the occasion of victory, it can be a cry of enthusiasm: that of reacting to the vicissitudes of existence or that of triumphing victoriously and voluntarily. This is why cries must be interpreted with the vibrations of the dream.

Child:
Affirmation of ourselves, of our pride, of our aspirations, of our inner journey, of our self-transcendence.
A girl It is linked to the night life, to the moon, to what germinates and develops, to what awakens; it is the conception of a goal to be achieved. The girl is the awakening of a project, of an inner state.
This is all that must grow and come to maturity; that is why the girl can announce financial problems or the failure of a project. She represents passivity. That is why her death in a dream may presage the end of a depressing situation. Her death announces the end of passivity, a transition toward action, toward the concrete realization of a project.

Mother :
The mother of the dream life can have two meanings. She may truly represent the natural, biological mother, or she may signify the symbolic mother, who gives not the life of the flesh, but life as universal energy, assisting the soul as it ascends from one level to the next toward maturity.
Whether it is the biological mother or the universal mother, she most often takes on the physical appearance of the biological mother.
Whatever its presentation, form, symbol, reality, or philosophy, the mother lives in each of us as love, the joy of living, and psychological balance. She represents our capacity to want to live, to fight, and to survive through battles and failures.
According to the reports we have had about her, she can become the unconscious symbol of an instinct of frustration, anxiety, and oppression that persists in life.
Motherhood can be an exploration of our emotional life.
If one often dreams of her, it is a sign that one lacks confidence and has not yet achieved independence.
Seeing someone worried about their child: we are exposed to the danger of having to suffer from the misfortune that has struck another person.
In a woman's dream, The mother represents the lover, often a secret love, which is why seeing her joyful and beautiful is a sign of happiness.
For a woman who has to make an emotional decision, The mother represents the lover, the father represents the husband. The mother is this capacity to love healthily or pathologically. She is the unconscious sensitivity, the instinct, the drive toward a behavior.

Cut:
Depending on the outcome, it means either separation or happiness in love.
Food products to be consumed the success of a project
Something else separation or cooling of the bond

Head:
Holding an animal's head in one's hands It is about being able to identify one’s behavior in relation to that of that beast.
The head of a fighting animal indicates that courage will lead us to success or failure, depending on the context of the dream.
The head of a domestic animal announces submission or enslavement.

Fear:
She announces defeat in projects, defeat caused by a lack of self-confidence or a lack of nerve.
We will need to understand the reason for his timidity and overcome it.

To skin an animal
ease

Summary:
I will start by asking you a question:
What is it about you that does not suit you, that frightens you, and that is shared with snakes? Which part of you, of your personality, do you fear?
You ask yourself questions about the man you love, but you must not wait for others' opinions; you must form your own.
In your dream, your daughter and your mother represent a part of yourself and show you that you should not worry about what frightens you, but rather face and control these fears.
You have the knowledge within you. It is up to you to use it. This positive force is within you; accept it. Your negative energies that you had until now have been transmuted or are in the process of being transmuted.
Believe in yourself

Best regards

Thank you very much for your interpretation. I will reread it and try to understand it in order to move forward…

Hey!

If it can help, I just found this, and I’m highlighting passages that align with the summary I gave you:

To kill:

When you kill something in a dream, it means you want to eliminate what the animal represents., the plant or the human being whom we want to liquidate in this way out of fear of seeing it play its role in our conscious life. Thus, to kill any form that more or less evokes sexuality—such as a feminine form, the form of a stream, the form of a tree for a man, or the form of elements of nature that are all sexually polarized as male or female—is to seek to kill that sexuality, which will inevitably lead it to organize a sort of cancer of behavior that must be diverted from its natural path. This will manifest itself through perverted, sadistic, masochistic, fetishistic, phobic, and obsessive impulses, and everything else that is produced when sexuality is not experienced in its beauty, its fullness, and its nature. Thus, killing an animal will indeed mean killing its animal nature; Being killed by a woman implies an inability to live with the woman within oneself, who generates the understanding of the feminine world, and a desire to make her die, or vice versa for the man. In fact, broadly speaking, in a dream one tries to kill that which one feels is literally killing them, in an attempt to exorcize the fear or anxiety. In the erotic case of abandoning one's self, which occurs for a very brief moment at the ultimate pleasure and which prevents so many people from completely surrendering to pleasure, by Fear of no longer being in control of one's own body.

And it is your daughter who kills the serpent, your daughter being your becoming.

On the other hand, in the letter you received from your friends, the cheerful part is written by the woman, the yin, your feelings and emotions, while the dissection is written by the husband, the yang, your rational side.
There is indeed this duality in you, between listening to your reason and your feelings. You must find a balance between the two; to do so, you need to face your fears and find self-confidence.

Sincerely.

P.S.: I generally never revisit my translations, but this time I was copying definitions from the web to have them in my repertoire, and I found that this one fit your dream well, so I added it there.

Thank you, Mamyol. I’ll tell you that it’s so close to reality that it truly makes me “scared”…
Knowing yourself is learning to master what frightens you in order to move forward in the dark, without being haunted by what you might encounter… It’s not always easy in a society where everything must conform to standards…

Thank you again.

The only person you can always trust is yourself, so simply trust yourself and your fears will disappear.
Don't be afraid of yourself, learn to trust yourself!
Repeat positive phrases to yourself, “I trust myself, I trust myself, I am making the right choice,” starting by removing the word “fear” from your vocabulary, because by naming the word, you attract it.
Best regards
