This is all I can actually remember from last night's dream. I will try to go in order. The dream was very lucid, but I had no control over it, save in one instance: Scene 1: Is a party scene. My girlfriend and I are staying at a resort sort of thing. And it is night time, and all the guests have gathered for a party. There is food, alcohol, music, the works. The entire room is light up in yellow/gold. Apart from certain furniture, the chairs, dinner table, dishes, cutlery, etc, are all gold. There is a fire going. Everyone is boisterous. At some time, I get tired, and decide I want to leave. But my girlfriend refuses to leave, as it is pitch black outside. There is no lights on the pathways to our room, and she is terrified. She is never been like this, and I try to calm her down as best as I can, while trying to find out why she is terrified of the dark. She gets near to hysterical and tells me that if I continue to inquire further, it is over between us. Well, we go back inside, and she gets more comfortable. Then I try again, but to no avail, and she says it is over. Scene 2: I am holding a thick, black snake as big as my body. It is segmented, and has red glowy eyes. It is supposed to be extremely venomous. Since I am the one who caught it, I am tasked with removing it from wherever we are right now. I do not really remember. I am taking it outside, and i am conscious of the knowledge that I have had previous snake dreams before, and am torn by 2 choices: I could either let the snake go, or I could let it bite me and see what happens. I am staring at the snake, taking a good look at it while I am thinking it out. Eventually, I let it go into the night by throwing it away, and the dream ends right there.

 

Has this happened to you?
