The Snake Dream

Do snakes chase people? In my dreams, without fail, they always do.
So, the shot fogs up and you fade into my subconscious mind, where you witness the following:
I'm in my house, in the upstairs hallway right by the stairs. Someone has just yelled to me that there is a snake up there, and then I see it. It's quite small- maybe just an inch or two wide and a couple feet long. It sees me, I see it, and the chase begins. I race to my parents' bedroom (they aren't there) and shut myself in the bathroom, panicking as I realize that the snake could slither under the door and get me. I think I shoved towels to prevent such a terrible thing from occurring. Extremely agitated, I pace and pace, praying and wringing my hands and wondering how I'm going to deal with this situation (kill the snake/get out of the bathroom unharmed).
Then I decide to peak out the bathroom door, where I am shocked to discover that the snake is dead. It had accidentally slivered across a razor (yes, those things with which we shave) and fileted itself into thin slices that together looked like petals of a dead snake flower (envision that, please). The funny thing was that in the dream I thought, "I didn't have to kill it! God saved me and killed it for me!" And then I was very relieved. The end.
Symbolic much? I talked to my parents about it, which is the usual routine, and then we all gave it a quick analysis. I'm being pursued by a snake, which represents? Evil! Bingo, quite obvious. I'm not sure about the hiding part, actually. Hm. Trying to shut the devil out, even the small cracks he could get through... And then, well, God saves me. I don't have to kill the devil, He will. He has, for that matter. And I'll be safe.
A dream that is the story of my life, and the Christian life? Yep. Sounds about right.
