Snake under my skin......


I had the strangest dream yesterday. SubhanAllah! And I woke up and it's still bothering me. I dreamt that I cut the top of my hand... in about the same spot where I had my IV in my hand. It was a gaping cut and it was bothering me. There was also a burnt area on my wrist, directly above the cut. In my dream... I was very disturbed by both of these. I started to manipulate the skin above the gaping cut, because I felt like there was something under the skin....I was thinking glass, or a rock. It hurt when I manipulated it. And then.... something comes half out of the cut. It looks like a white cockroach. I scream and stop pushing on my skin...and the thing goes back inside.


I'm freaking out now..... and start looking at the burned part carefully....I see it moving. Maybe there are two of those ugly things in there?? So I call my oldest daughter and tell her to get tweezers. I explain to her that there is something inside and when I push it out, that she is to grab it with the tweezers and pull. So I start pushing on the skin....and it pops out....she grabs it....and starts pulling. It keeps coming and coming.....and we realize that it's a long skinny snake like creature......at one point, she screams....(I think I keep screaming, too.) and the entire thing goes backwards inside my skin again!


I'm desperate to be free of this thing....and I go to the DR....I explain and he says....the only way to get rid of it is to urge it out with a piece of meat....teasing it step by step.....until it goes out on its own accord. ((shudder)) So then he gets the meat....and slowly.....the snake starts going out.....I want to scream.....but contain myself. It looks like a white skinny snake with a small dragon head and horns. I can feel it coming out of my arm......and I'm disgusted. Finally the entire thing comes out of my arm.....the DR quickly throws it out the window. I sit in his office in shock.........I wonder how long I've had this thing.........


~~~


So that's the dream. And like I said...it's been bothering me. I suppose you guys can all see the parallels in my life with this dream. My husband is the snake, of course. SubhanAllah!


~~~


Did I mention that I finally talked to him again yesterday? LOL! He called, I answered the phone.....How are you? How are the kids? Let me speak to the 10 yr old.....


That's all he said to me.....3 sentences. It was the first time to hear his voice since I asked him for a divorce 23 days ago. I've written a letter to the sheikh....the one in Canada. And unfortunately, I haven't heard back from him yet.


When my company leaves, I'm planning to go to my BIL downstairs and enlist his help. I'm not happy being dragged along. Whats changed?? I'm still sitting in Egypt waiting....and he's still not here....... What's changed?

Of course the easiest explanation is "it's your husband".
But I would see it differently. Because it's something that frightens you, which is inside you, and you learn to let it got by mastering your fears of it, and your daughter helps you doing that. And the DR...

Seems like a good message, even if shaky !

Hmm...Safa....i hope the dream has a good interpretation. The Holy Prohet PBUH said that we shoudl always believe that dreams have good interpretations...

You know what they say, Hope for the best and expect the worst. Anyhow, Duas for you.

Further analysis might suggest since the pain was in the place where you had the IV--I am assuming the IV was for the baby---the two are connected. Perhaps the snake will cause you pain via the baby. Once again, I am so afraid you will never get out of Egypt with your kids. I know too many women who could never leave--if they didnt want to leave their children behind. I cant imagine him allowing you to take his kids--especially his son. I am so worried for you--and them.

Salam Safa,

Dragons represent the lower Nafs (the animal Self). It is good that you are mastering the dragon and taking control of it.

Once a king passed a saint, and the saint failed to bow. The king became indignant, and demanded an explanation. The saint told the king, "I am a master, whereas you are a mere slave. For I have mastered my base desires, but you are a slave to your lower impulses."

My sympathies with your divorce -- may Allah resolve things for the best. May He grant you strength, peace and wisdom. It must be very difficult.

I had a dream about a snake once too. But it was just a snake head that I came upon somehow--details are a little fuzzy now. But I remember that at one point I had the snake head in my head and I threw it as hard as I could away from me. There was this lady in my community who was really into dream interpretation. I told her about it, and she said that snakes represent envy. I didn't know what to make of that and forgot about it. Some time after that, I found out that there was this girl in the community who was jealous of me. So I don't know...If you are really concerned maybe you should seek out a shaykh who is knowledgeable in dream interpretation and see what he says. I would also seek refuge regularly in Allah from any evil and harm that is in your life. May Allah protect you and your loved ones. Ameen!

What's changed is that you decided to stop fighting and just keep on waiting. You were raring to go but it's gone now. You waited to say what you had to say and now you're waiting again.

You don't need to post about taking care of your baby's passport but I hope you're doing it. Where we come from, that passport is freedom.

Good luck, Safa. From one North American to another.

Safa, i have been thinking what Eva wrote for some time, but didn't want to say that I was worried about this. May Allah help you and put you in a place where you can all live truly fulfilling and peaceful lives. The thing that worries me is firstly that he won't let you take the kids, especially your little son and also that his ego and cultural conditioning that he has to stay in "control' will push him to act against his conscience. Allahu alam,I really wish and pray for the best for you.

Your dream can mean so many things Safa. Best not to look at it to hard.. in the end Only Allah SWT knows best. Take it as a general warning and pray for Allah SWT protection.


I finally updated my blog so come check it out.

Assalamu Alaikum,

‘The righteous dream is from Allaah and the bad dream is from the devil, so if anyone sees something which pleases him then he should only relate it to one whom he loves…’

Summary of what to do upon having a bad dream:

Spit on your left three times

Seek refuge in Allaah from shaytaan and the evil of what you saw

Do not relate it to anyone

Turn and sleep on the opposite side to which you were sleeping on previously.

Get up and pray if you so desire.
