snakes

I dreamt that I was with my friend (A(L)S). We were visiting in her town. One of her boys was with her and she was telling me about the tables we were sitting at. They were long folding tables, not super pretty, but very functional and good for her family to have outdoor meals on or do their crafts. She was so happy. Some woman from behind me said hello and then gave her a flower saying how wonderful she was... they said not to just put it in water, it was special... she joked that she would eat it to keep it forever. Some other thing at a hotel... drinks... felt like the 40s or 50s Then I dreamt about something with two snakes... killing them... I was scared.. One was a female and one was a male. As much as I wanted them away from me or dead, I was sad for them. They just wanted to get away and be together but they couldn't help their nature and that is what would kill them. Someone had wounded both of them and I was to take them out of the car. Although they seemed dead like (even kind of looked like they had been dried and smoked like jerky), they were still able to move and were trying to get away. My friend that wounded them was looking at an octopus.He was showing me some hole that was there that shoudn't normally be. He was very interested in it and kind of got lost in inspecting it. I was trying to show him the urgency of him needing to help me the snakes were getting away. They were just about to slip down the drain in the streets to be forever gone out of our hands and to have bad things happen, but my friend caught them for me.
