Nightmares about snails

[inky]

Hi,

Last night I had a nightmare about my first snail, Baffbot, dying in a really sad way and my other snails nearly doing the same. Somehow Baffbot had gotten out of his tank and jumped into the fish tank and grabbed onto something under the water. He was really stretched out. When I pulled him out he had blood around his breathing hole thingy(Can't remember name). After a while I showed my dad and all he said was "Oh well," which angered me. Then Baffbot pulled himself far inside his shell and I looked and I couldn't see him. Then I can't remember what next, my dream jumped a bit, but I was in my room again and another snail had jumped inside the tank, but I managed to save him, and another did the same and I saved him as well. Then I woke up.

Any idea why this happened?

You care about your snails and are secretly angry at anyone who doesn't, maybe?
I have nightmares about my snails being killed in horrible ways too, regularly, and they usually include my family. I interpret them as a sign of conflicts between ideas, people or interests in my life.

Dreams are our way of dealing with thoughts, feelings, problems, etc. If something is troubling you, you will try to make sense of it / work it out in your dream. I'm afraid of falling, so I have frequent dreams about being forced into ridiculously dangerous high places and them falling for miles. It's normal, unfortunately.

Thanks guys. What's even worse is the fact that it seems to be a bad omen or something D= My friend nearly died today. She got in a fight and someone put a piece of bark in her mouth and she started choking. I keep getting these bad things happening to me.

What a wicked thing to do! I hope she's ok. Try not to worry about the dreams, though.
