Snake meditation

Something nice happened today that I´d like to share with you all.

I have a lake 15 min by bike from my where I live. I use to go there a lot. So today. I was alone and the sun came through. Ad to that a little wind and the sound from trees and water. Makes me go into meditation mode. So I sat down and drifted away. After a while I could sense a precence and opened my eyes. Between me and the water was a snake. It´s tail almost tuching my leg. It was streched out, bending the head backwards, watching me. I sat still, this snake is harmless, and then it coiled (ran?) away down the cliff towards the water.

When it was out of sight I resumed meditaion. After a while something tickles my leg. Looking down I see the snake trying to enter under my leg. Instinctively I lifted my leg a bit. If I hadn´t moved it had come up to my lap. But now it moved away. Then I saw to that it got back into the forest. And the meditation was over for this time.

Shaman & Helix dream

"I don´t remember the beginning of the dream, but then I visited a man, probably a shaman, that should analyse my spiritual situation, how far I have come and what I have to do to continue spiritually. The room had white walls with no decorations on them. He layed down on a bench and got into a trance. Then it started to come out a huge amount of smoke from his closed right eye, the nostrils, mouth and ears. His left eye was glowing under the lid and through a tiny slit. Very bright. Above the eye was hovering a redglowing spiral (Helix type). When he woke up I tried to tell him what I had seen, but he did not want to hear. He reach for a small doll, looked carefully on it. Then put his finger on a point between the middle (vertical) chestbone and the right side nipple. Here, you have to press here he said. And the dream ended." This is a lot of symbols and I don´t understand a thing. What does the smoke and spiral mean??? And why shall I press that point? Hope you can help

Hello Ladyhawk, As you most likely already know symbols are the language of the subconsciouse, the soul....it doesn't speak English If you don't already do it I would suggest keeping a dream journal, in addition jot down notes about the days events. And date both entries. After a period of time you'll notice any outstanding event in a day will have a dream symbol three days prior to the happening, you'll see a pattern developing between certain symbols and specific events.This is what I make of your dream......first you encountered a shaman, this indicates you need to make a self healing, then he gave you the answer as to what needs healing.... the helix on the left side indicates what you are responding to, your early enviroment, what you inherited by way of negative impressions resulting in negative judgements. The smoke coming out of the right eye means an inability to see clearly based on these judgements. Because of the symbols used by your subconciouse I think these 'negativities' are very subtle and you'll have to examine to see where and what they are.The doll is you. ( it can also indicate childhood and or children) that the shaman pressed the RIGHT side, near the heart area is how you will progress. The left is what we recieve, the right is what we do with it in the world. He pressed the doll near the heart area on the right side.You can put these symbols together for yourself better then I can for you know the particular elements of your life they may pertain to. But I would guess that this is an urge from your subconsciouse to do a lot of practicing of gererosity, including but not limited to, forgiveness. Not holding on to pain or hurt or constricting emotional judgements.I find it intersting that your dreams are so vivid and sequencial Ladyhawk, this in itself is an indication of increased growth.Hope this may have given you some insight into resolving your questions re the dream. Any insights you can come up with on your own will be more valuable then mine, as there are always other levels involved.
Shanti to us all, light in our eye
