Dreams and Snakes

I woke up this morning to gentle rain. I decided to sleep in again and had a very vivid dream...

I was at church with my mom and sister. We were in the middle of mass when 4 snakes came. There was a python, 2 boa constrictors and an albino snake. There was one more snake but it wasn't with the 4. The children and women started screaming. Those who screamed were bitten viciously. One snake had wrapped itself on a man who was carrying a child... and the man oddly looked like Ryan Agoncillo. The snake bit on the man's hand and blood started flowing.

We were still at the church but the altar had changed into a kitchen. Mom was making spaghetti for merienda. The people were gone and it was only me, mom and Toby. It started raining again and the snakes returned. Toby was barking at the snake and the snake hissed viciously at him. I quickly went to Toby and he bit onto my jeans as we made our way back to the kitchen.

I was sitting on a pew with mom and Leanne. It started raining again and the snakes came out. This time, they slithered immediately to our pew. Mom was screaming frantically that she could not move her legs. Leanne and I struggled to bring her feet up before the snakes could sink their fangs into it. We safely got mom's legs on the pew but the snakes were really jumping up to bite us. There was a pillow on the pew so I grabbed it and then pushed the pillow towards a snake and pushed my weight on it. Fortunately, the other snakes didn't attack me so I was on the snake until it died. When it died, we took our mom back to the altar/kitchen.

We were now outside the church and it was already dark. Bev was with me and she was carrying her wallet and cellphone. It started to rain again and then 2 snakes appeared on some bushes and plants beside the street. Bev said she wanted to have Starbucks so she left me to buy some. Of course, I was left with the snakes but they didn't attack me so I decided to follow Bev.
At the end of the street, I didn't know if I should make a left or right. I decided to go right and started running. I was running but the pace was very slow... like the way you run up a hill, you put more effort but you feel very slow. After a few meters of darkness (there were no streetlights and the buildings had their lights turned off), I went back the other way. I met a man and asked him where Starbucks was. He said I was going to the right direction (the direction of unlit path) and that Starbucks was just over there.

I decided not to believe him and just turned back. The other way (the one on the left) was commercialized. There were establishments with their signs on and the street was partly lit. Unfortunately, there was no Starbucks. I was calling Bev's cellphone but it only kept ringing. There was another man and he was staring hard at me. He looked at my cellphone and stared back again at me. I closed my cellphone cautiously but he was running towards me. I was screaming and shouting as I ran but nobody was there, despite the lighted signs. He grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him. I was so scared to death as he grinned evilly. Then I realized I had 4 large sticks in my left hand and then with full force, drove it towards the side of his head. One stick entered his ear and he fell down with a thud.

I ran back to the entrance of the church and was screaming for Bev. I looked up and saw her cellphone and wallet hanging on a tree branch above. I was afraid one of the snakes did something to her. I looked and looked and yet I could not find her. Suddenly, a hand tapped my shoulder and there she was, holding a Starbucks drink.
