Snake in my car

I saw a very scary dream just after midnight, in which there was an almost dead snake outside my car and a very active snake inside my car, on the passenger seat window at the front. I tried to get it out of my car by hitting it with the almost dead snake. It just stuck itself to the window and didn't want to come out. Then suddenly it lashed out so fast, i started running and also warned my family that was standing on the roof of the fast food restaurant to stay away. While running I had second thoughts if it was a good idea to go on a rooftop, as there will be nowhere to go if attacked there. Since the snake had now come right close to me, I jumped on it and wondered if it actually came under my feet or not. Then came the thought that I don't even have proper shoes on, it can bite my foot, if its not dead.

I woke up from the dream and wondered what it meant. I was too tired to get up and meditate but to disturbed to sleep. Somehow I went to sleep and saw that I had a big fat chopping knife like cutter that a food guy I know in real life chops his dough with. I chopped the snake's head and then the whole body into small pieces and buried it.

Then I thought, should I chop the almost dead snake too? I can't remember but may be then I chopped that one too! All I know that I wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do or not.

I wasn't happy with the chopped up snake that I had buried in the ground. It still generated fear, so I willed it to become part of the earth and saw a beautiful jasmine plant grow out from that spot. Although the plant was little, it had beautiful white flowers on it.

Black snake is an enemy/ deceiving person or fear. Being attacked is being criticized. Since I killed it, I had victory over it.

My sister rang at 5.30am in the morning telling me about the trouble brewing in a family members house. Since I know about it now, does this means that the snake is in my car and now i need to handle this situation or should I stay out of it? I now interpret that the almost dead snake was my family member who needs help, as he himself is almost dead and has no energy to fight back or say handle the situation? My sister begged me to help him and save his life.

being chased means that there is an issue/situation you are avoiding. If in the dream you are running slow or if it catches you it means you shouldn't/can't continue to avoid it.
