Hi everyone! I woke up a few hours ago from a dream that was slightly disturbing and mostly confusing for me. I would love to hear your views and interpretations on what it could mean.

Here goes:
From what I remember, I dreamt that I met up with a friend (can't remember anymore who but that person seemed to be close to me but we haven't seen each other in a while.) I approached the person for a hug until I saw that the person had a medium-size green snake slithering on his/her arm. This person greeted me but I stepped back when I saw the snake. He/She insisted on giving me a hug but I was worried about the snake biting me. He/She told me there was nothing to worry about. So I decided to try to hug the person (cause I'm generally not scared of snakes, I just don't like the idea of getting near them enough to get bitten.) And when I leaned closer, the snake faced me and was trying to bite. I moved back slightly and I saw the snake momentarily open his mouth. When I looked in, I saw that the snake's teeth were blunt/flat, as if someone filed it down. But it didn't stop the snake from looking and being mischievous.

I'm quite confused as to what that might mean or how that reflects my subconscious. I am currently experiencing a break up (since 5 days ago) from a person I truly care about but he has depression and has pushed me away to "save" me from him cause he's been in a funk for a few weeks now and he feels guilty that he can't reciprocate the care that I'm giving him. I am slightly torn between reaching out to him (cause I sometimes wonder if his pushing me away was just the depression talking) or keeping my distance because he asked me to and to give him space to sort things out. I fell into bouts of crying within the first three days but since yesterday, although I'm sad to be separated from him and I miss him, I haven't cried. When I think about him, I just send loving thoughts instead.. cause I don't know what else to do.

I hope you guys can help me out. It might also help me figure out whether I should try to keep the relationship going or let go completely.

Can't wait for your thoughts. Thank you so much!
