Hello and thank you for your response.

I belive you are spot on about exhaustion; it is what the dream is about and exactly what I am feeling.

I would love to know what the cobra represents and why it is an albino cobra (which I suppose is somehting quite rare, if it even exists?)

I think the feeling of disaster is the feeling of loosing control because I have so much to do, no time and I am exhausted. It is also fear that little things that I normally could handle are now turning into problems, like things tend to do when you work to fast or don't have time to reflect. No disaster has actually occured and there might not be any serious mistakes, but the feeling is that it could happen and I cannot prevent it. I don't think the dream has anything to do about my childhood; although my mother could be in it because she recently adviced me to stop working so much and said that I was becoming a "garbage bin" of tasks at my workplace, doing all that no one else can be bothered to do. She might be in the dream as a reminder of that or as a warning.

There was a detail that I left out when writing my dream because it seemed too hard to explain. In the little shelter with beds by the busstop there are a lot of people, but I remember one person in particular. It is a fat, bolding man (unknown) who recognizes me. He says; "Don't I know you?" In the dream I have met him before but I am embarrassed. I say; "Yes, you stayed at our house last time." Then he remembers where he knows me from. He has once stayed at my parents house as a guest and then he was badly insulted by my father. (Never seen him in awake life and I dont know how my father insulted him or anything more about him.)

Ill consider the smoke and the disaster some more. Thank you again. //Karin
