I was living in the house I grew up in. My senile mom was living there too and I was taking care of her. I was trying to clean all kinds of junk out of all the rooms. Somebody was helping me but I don't know who it was, and we kept finding snakes everywhere. At first it was just a few in the back room, but then they were everywhere: dangling from pipes along the ceiling, underneath things we'd move, in the shower, just everywhere. All shapes and sizes and types of snakes. Some were poisonous and some weren't, and there were also some scorpions. I killed some scorpions and some snakes, with whatever random things I had in my hands, or with my feet, but I hated killing them, even though I didn't want them in the house and I was started to freak out. I decided to call a pest control company, but I had a really hard time getting to a search page on my laptop, or finding a phone directory, or any way of finding someone to come get rid of all the snakes. That's all I remember. I'm not afraid of snakes, but in the dream they were freaking me out because there were so many of them.
This dream could represent feelings of overwhelm, caretaking responsibilities, and the need for help in dealing with challenges in your waking life. The house you grew up in may symbolize your past or childhood experiences, while your senile mom could represent aspects of yourself that may need nurturing or care. The act of trying to clean out junk from the house could suggest a desire to rid your life of clutter or negativity.
The presence of snakes in the dream often symbolizes hidden fears or anxieties. The fact that they were everywhere and in various forms could indicate that you feel surrounded by challenges or threats in your life. The struggle to get rid of the snakes may point to difficulties in overcoming these issues on your own.
The scorpions in the dream could symbolize feelings of danger or betrayal. Killing them with hesitation may suggest conflicting emotions about confronting difficult situations or people in your life.
The struggle to find help in the dream, such as attempting to call a pest control company but facing obstacles, could reflect a sense of frustration or helplessness in seeking support or assistance in your waking life.
Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your subconscious concerns about feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, fears, or challenges in your life, and the need to seek help or support in navigating through them. It may be a reminder to reach out for assistance when needed and not to feel burdened by tackling everything on your own.
