I dreamed of snakes. Two of them, one a python and the other a boa, both enormous. They were being shown from a large stage -- like a high school auditorium -- to an audience out of sight out in theater seating. It was some kind of educational program, which I was watching from the stage left wings.

These snakes were so huge, they both stretched back across the stage and out through a couple of doors leading into the backstage area. The presenters, one per animal, were holding the heads and one was explaining. At one point, the main presenter bailed on the show, and I had to fill in. I was having a tough time controlling the python's head -- it had long fangs which would not deliver venom but would leave a nasty wound if the animal had its way. I soldiered ahead with the show, until the second presenter bailed, and the boa was free to roam. I could not possibly control both giant snakes, and I was concerned that they'd be injured without someone to take care of them.

Then I realized that someone had closed the doors the snakes' bodies were stretched through, so the poor things were all mashed and mangled. I tried to get them collected backstage so they weren't prone to any more injury, but there was just too much animal there to wrangle.

It didn't have the feel of any penis dream -- it was all about (a) being forced to step in for the absent presenter, (b) without getting ripped up by those fierce python fangs (yes, I know they don't have fangs), while (c) feeling awful that the animals were injured because no one was taking proper care of them and trying to mitigate that but without success.
