I am in a forest, I begin climbing a tree for no particular reason. As I reach a large branch running parallel with the ground I look down and see a harmless rosy boa looking up at me. Something feels wrong. I look closer and that is when I notice a very large constrictor, perhaps a python or boa, that is blending in with the trunk of the tree. I feel I am in reach and in danger of this snake so I continue farther out on the branch. At that same moment that I take my eyes off the snake it attacks, biting my foot, but it feels more like a grab. I am being constricted now, and before I can try to find the tail to unravel it from my body I am dealing with the head. The snake is no longer just a constrictor. It has venom injecting fangs like a rattle snake. I am already bitten on the foot in the initial attack, I wonder how much venom has been injected as I struggle to maintain my grip on the head and neck of this monster. I control it now, but it is still wrapped around me. I hold the head out and squeeze tight, but do not think of killing it. It changes again, adapts to the situation. It is now spraying poison like a spitting cobra. My left eye is sprayed, I try to close it tight to the venom that will surely burn and mean my blindness. There is no pain. I loose my grip at this moment and the snake bites my left hand. I make a mental note that I am now bitten on the left foot, left hand, and may loose my left eye. I try to carefully remove the snakes head from my hand, its head is as big as my fist and I see clearly its venom injecting fangs, it's cat like pupils. I know that I am poisoned, there is no way the snake didn't inject. I don't give up. I am upset by the situation but I am not mad, or scared, just alive and acting. The snake disappears. Did I throw it off me? Where did it go? Two people come to my aid, I think they are a medical team, as if an ambulance had just pulled up. I explain that I have been bitten by a poisonous snake on the foot, hand, and got sprayed with venom in my left eye.

I wake up feeling this is a bad omen. My initial thought is that I have just fought with myself, on the inside.
