Dream Interpretation: "The Serpent" - 64 nc

[petrosianii]

I had a wild dream last night. In the dream, a python was chasing me. It was light green and pea green in color. Then, the python split into two pythons, and started gaining on me. I started to run faster and faster, but the faster I ran, the faster the two pythons approached. Of course, I was afraid. Before the pythons caught me, I woke up.

I asked the I Ching

What does the python represent in my dream?

The answer was #64, without changing lines.

My guess: I am afraid of the future. I have recently changed jobs, recently moved into my first home, and recently betrothed myself to my lover. I think that the pythons symbolize the

fear of the emptiness that follows an achievement, or possibly even the fear of death. (R.L.Wing, The I Ching Workbook, text of #64)

But I want others' perspectives.
