The dream starts out in a nice formal, structured garden like the kind you'd find at an estate. A raggedy man approaches me from behind some ?cypress trees and i see it's the Wizard of Oz but he's dressed in his traveling magician clothes that he wore in Kansas. He ?says something to me and i turn around. In a little clump of bushes with yellow flowers there's a fairly large snake. It looks like a rattler but it doesn't have a rattle. He picks up the snake and hands it to me. I take it without fear. It's skin is bumpy or rough. Like crystals sort of, or as if the snake had fish scales and the scales were raised out some. This surprises me because i know that snakes are usually very smooth and soft to the touch.

I'm in the mall i go to sometimes in dreams and walk into a tiny little store that sells bras. The young slim girl behind the counter points towards a door in the back of the store and indicates i should go to an adjacent store that is more fully stocked so i go out the door. Now i'm in a strip mall that seems familiar. I know i've been to the drug store here (in dreams) and that store never has what i'm looking for. Anyways, i see a little shop that hasn't been here before and go in. It's more like a little cottage than a store but there are bras everywhere so i guess it's the right place. As i'm poking around the inventory, there are two guys. One is sitting in one of two chairs that are in what would be a living room if this was a house. One of the guys reminds me of a young Jack Nicholson. He's kind of scraggly looking and makes me nervous when my back is to him. The other guy is out of my line of sight so i have no idea what he looks like but i know he's there because i can hear him and the Jack Nicholson guy talking. I think the other guy is maybe in what would be a kitchen if this was a house. Jane Russell comes out from a little hall that, if this were a house, would probably lead to bedrooms. She seems really nice and i think she's going to assist me in finding what i'm looking for when she walks over to a little vent or door close up to the ceiling and opens it. Pale green spiders about the size of walnuts, thousands of them, come pouring out of the vent towards me and i realize it's a trap and that she thinks the spiders will kill me. We (the spiders and i) recognize each other and i kind of laugh because i know that the spiders are my allies not hers. Sure enough the spiders change direction like a big flock of birds do sometimes (it's an amazing sight) and swarm all over the men in the other rooms and kill them. Jane smiles (but now i think she's Joan Crawford maybe) and asks me if i would like to have some tea as if nothing had happened. She points to a round table with a flowered table-cloth that is set for tea. I smile and we pour some tea then sit down in the living room (it apparently IS a house). She turns on an old television (she actually has to pull the little button to turn it on!) and we watch one of her old black and white movies and drink green tea.
