Dream Series: Snake

Last night I dreamed I found a large boulder in the woods with a big crack filled with water and there was an aquatic snake living in it. I had Rhonda climb up on the rock with me and we looked at the snake a long while. It was banded and compressed -- ribbony -- coiling about itself, with two "horns," and looked up at us as if curious. We didn't try to touch it as it was some species I didn't recognize and wasn't sure if it might be poisonous, though I doubted it was; still, why pester it. It was a very calming dream.
