I had a "dream" last night, and in the dream, I was staying in a hotel and I called 911 when I was bitten by a snake. It seemed like quite awhile and no one had shown up, then the phone rang. The lady at the front desk asked if I had called 911 as the EMT's were at the front desk.I said I had and why, and she said, "Well it's not a very good time." I vowed I wanted to remember the name of that hotel...well, I don't. I said it's not the size of the snake, it had been a bright yellow patterned snake less than a foot long; it's not the size of the snake, but the power of the venom. I can't even warn you where not to go; I mean really...snake bitten and "it's not a good time!" I certainly hope no one encounters a real hotel like this one in my dream. Wonder what I ate???

How inconvenient
Snake bite
Disturb the front desk
With the EMT's

Glad it was a dream
Hope it doesn't mirror
Reality for anyone,
Ever!

Never had a dream
About a snake before
Spiders? Yes!
I guess no legs instead of 8 is better.

EEK!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Strange dream. I am not afraid of snakes.See a lot in this area. Most are harmless and will scurry away if come upon. Only a few really dangerous ones. Best to learn which ones they are and stay back from them. best to you, Jo

I'm not frightened of all snakes, but when they've already bitten me, I certainly react...even if it was a dream. Seems pretty odd that a hotel clerk would think first aid was inconvenient. Glad it was just a dream.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
