The Millennial Wyrm

Date: 11/25/2017

This dream I actually had 2 days ago, but it was so weird it still stuck with me a bit. The first thing I remember from the dream was being in the old duplex house I grew up in. Our neighbor who’s house had been connected to ours was still dead, but the people who live there now were no longer there. I found myself in my old neighbors basement, but it was like the basement was no longer finished, like someone had started digging everything up. I found an old looking leather bound journal that was tucked away in a dirt craw space. The journal detailed the existence of a great ancient serpent that lived deep underground, and only surfaced once every 1000 years. According to the journal, Native Americans apparently had legends of its last return prior to the European colonization of North America. Some who knew the myth speculated that their encounter with the great wyrm left their once great civilization crippled and broken, scattered across the continent in disarray. They never healed from the destruction of the serpent and this left the extremely vulnerable when the Europeans began colonizing the west. The last thing I remember before waking was seeing two glowing eyes in the dark deep within the craw space where the book had been. Suddenly it sprang out towards me! I woke up but I laid half asleep still thinking about it all for at least half an hour, wondering what the snake truly was, if what had jumped at me was a baby snake, and if there was something otherworldly or supernatural about the beast. It felt prophetic somehow, at least while I was still half asleep 😴 🐍
