I don't neccessarily believe in this stuff but it's still interesting

I dreamt I was working at or visiting a farm/wildlife centre place. I heard a sound and realised there were two death adders and a rattler near me. I quickly walked away but the rattler chased and bit me on the wrist. I got to see a nurse and she looked at it and assured me the bite was bad but not much venomn had gone into me. I wasn't so sure. I was also thinking about how we don't get rattlers in Australia so I thought it was weird it being there.

I dreamt a few weeks ago that I got bitten by a tiger snake and no-one would help me. Again I didn't die, I was up and walking rather quickly once I realised I didn't feel that bad at all. No venomn?

So, what's it all mean?

the best I found sofar is http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dream/snake
Seeing a snake or be bitten by one in your dream means hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.

however other definitions are (http://www.sleeps.com/dictionary/sss.html) Snake

A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.

(http://www.petrix.com/dreams/animals.html) Snake A snake ready to strike means treachery from one you least expected; killing it means victory over enemies.

Those sort of interpretations are interesting because for me I don't associate snakes with evil. In the dreams I have known exactly what species I was seeing and they were just snakes, however it was a tad weird to have one chase me (snakes would much rather get away).

hhhmmm maybe it is a reference to treachery, but not where you least expect it. maybe you are waiting for it and choose to ignore it, maybe it is more from the first definition, again though something you are aware of or expect and you just dont want to credit it with the attention it desires
