Last night I had the most vivid dream I might of ever experienced. The first thing that is odd is that I actually remember it, and it was so bizarre that I want to write it down for posterity. The mood of the dream was panicky, fearful, like I was trying to buy time to escape some impending doom. I was looking for Tyler, trying to meet up with him so we could flee something. I was sitting on a tree stump that was hollow enough that I was startled to find 2 rattle snakes chilling in. My dad was there and he went and got his shovel to kill the rattle snakes (which he used to actually do when I was a kid).
This is where it got weird. An older guy, can't remember who it was, came up to me shirtless and asked me to cut along his spinal column with a box cutter to release a snake that was trapped in his spinal column. I was hesitant, but the guy explained that the snake was causing extreme pain, and he was experiencing numbness and intermittent paralysis because of the snake, so he really needed me to do this for him. So I did. The guy didn't bleed, but there was a snake in his spinal column! It was black and shrivelled with green and blue specks on it. It jumped out of the guy's back and started to chase me and it was trying to bite me.
What does this mean? This is definitely one of those dreams that I would LOVE to have interpreted.

Jen, I think the unidentified man might have been Obama. He was hoping you could help him with his healthcare reform issue (snakey republicans up his ass, or, in this case, in his spinal column). The box cutter was a preview of what operatiion room tools might look like in the future should healthcare reform pass. The healthcare mess was then unleashed from Obama, now appropriately spineless in your dream, and chasing you down. His timing was crap, because you were trying to escape and impending tsunami off the coast of San Diego. You couldn't find Tyler, because he was at school. The tree you were sitting on was really a toilet, and the rattlesnakes your dad had to kill for you represented your childhood nightmare that a snake would swim through the sewer system and bit your ass! (I see this one all the time when analyzing dreams - you're not alone). Your dad springing into action represents a daughter's knowledge that he will always have her back, and he'll never let a snake bite her ass (unless he's in town while she's camping in the mountains, in which case he can't really help her). You can rest now. No need for concern. Seannie
