The snake in a dream again

I'm in a car with another girl. We're in the front seat. I don't know who's driving. I'm seated on the left, her on the right. We're having an animated conversation about releasing pressure at a certain point on the hand near the thumb.

Outside it's a bright beautiful day. The road is scenic with the water (beach?l) on the right and a hill/mountain on the left.

She is slim, with long hair, full of life. She holds my right hand to demonstrate the pressure point concept. While we're this conversation I remember that someone else knew how to do it and was successful each time to break pressure and as I tell her and hold her left hand to show it, I look outside the car to my left and I see movement from above, so I look up.

I see something hurtling down and it enters the car, into my clothes from behind near left shoulder. I realise it's a snake and I freeze. I don't move. I tell the girl/woman it's a snake and i can't move. I had felt it's body slide down and don't know where it went. I'm waiting and not moving because I don't want to cause grief to myself. The girl says something about the area on the hand again and holds my hand. So I go back to holding her hand and then try to give her a demo of how the other person used to do it.

That's when I feel the snake again and this time slithering upward, and going out from my right. It felt longer when it went down, shorter on exit.

I've woken up with a fright again. Slightly paralysed. Typing this down so that I can visit it later or have someone visit it and tell me what's going on with me.

Colors that I remember, a lot of white  (clothes, the inside of the car, the side of the water)and light blue (water, sky), bright sunshine, looks like summer but I wasn't sweating. The hill/mountain was a regular brown and green. I don't remember any plants on it. The snake was a covered thing, camoflaged and that's why i couldn't make out as it hurtled down. On exit I was too frozen to look at it, but just felt it go out. Disgusting feeling both while entrering snd existing. No curling up around me. No bites. No movement once inside. Just the yuck feeling that iI had to feel what i did.

Water babe

Well I'm not a water babe. I love the water but haven't learnt to swim till I signed up for the swimming classes last week. Since then I've learnt to bubble when under water, hold my breath and become a mushroom (weird thing to call the posture), float on water with head in water and now trying to learn to propel myself forward using my hands and feet. Coach Vidya also is trying to get us get over our fear for deep waters by making us straight jump into 10 feet water and come up by cycling (I call it kicking because I do seem to kick more than cycle) and try to stay afloat. Fear of water is slowly going away. I guess I'll be really happy when I've actually learnt to swim without breaks and increased stamina considerably to become an amateur swimmer. In the meantime, if I lose inches waist below and lose all those extra kgs I've accumulated over a period of 5 years, all the better. Noticed that I sleep better now. Don't mind the tan. Got a cream to take care ...

Disturbing

Yesterday my daughter 6 had a bad day at school, thanks to 2 incidents that she never expected to happen to her. In the first one, the teacher denied her request to go to the bathroom thrice. She landed up wetting herself and staying in the soiled clothes till she came home. The next incident makes me wonder at the teacher's ability to handle students. I do understand that every teacher is a human being first, and goes through a whole taxing process of handling multiple issues as best possible, trying to balance expectations and delivering the education that needs to reach young minds. So I really do understand why a teacher could snap. Young kids aren't easy to teach. So what's a teacher's reason to whack a kid who is not a troublemaker?
