What does this dream mean?

I was standing by a lake next to a rusty swing set. My coworkers were there. Black snakes started sprouting from the ground, slithering past us. My coworkers freaked out, but I told them it was okay. I used to handle snakes all the time as a kid. I tried to grab them but they were too fast, all headed to an abandoned building on a hill by that lake. I followed them up there and was lead down to the basement. It had many levels going down, with confusing staircases. Most levels were just empty and unfinished, with many door ways. Reaalllyyy creepy looking Down a couple levels there was a carousel with white horses, and in the next room down there were live horses tied to the wall. They all looked underfed and it smelled horrible. I remember feeling horrified, and suddenly knowing that a rich man owned this house. He really liked hoarding things. I left and came back with the police. They stayed in the room with the horses and i went down further. There were people there too. I tried to help them escape but then couldnt find my way out anymore! Thats when it ended. I dont dream often but this freaked me out.

Dream of Water Moccasin

I had a dream where I was swimming in a murky river/lake. I’m not sure why I was in there but I was swimming to the shore to get out. It felt like I wasn’t supposed to be swimming there. Behind me, I noticed a green snake swimming toward me. I thought he was going to lunge at me, so I grab him by the head/neck and he opened his mouth real wide like he was trying to bite me. I held him for a second, realized he was unable to bite me how I was holding him, and than I threw him and tried to get to the shore. He came back and swam after me and I was getting stuck trying to get out of the shallow muddy water before the shore. I was scared the snake was going to bite me and I felt sincere panic. But dream me was able to get on the shore without being bitten. Any thoughts? I appreciate anyone who reads this

Wise minds, could you help me decoding this? :)

I'd love you to help me understand this dream, it's just a scene actually:

A sport touring motorcycle that had a flag attached to its storage compartment was going into a lake like if that was the normal way of driving, in an absolutely natural and calm way.

1) I couldn't see who was driving it, but I know for sure it was a masculine energy.
2) The flag that was attached pertains to the country of someone that I love.
3) The energy of the dream was totally flowing and fine, I just was watching this scene and didn't think that was happening anything weird while the motorcycle was going into the lake.

Well, dream images are symbolic and since I can't really understand the meaning of this scene, I'd love any insight / impressions of your much wiser minds :)

Thank you in advance!

Fairy dream

I meant to write this here when in happened in July but somehow forgot so I'll write it now and hope I can get some input from the community

I grew up in a little town in VA, in my dream I was walking down the road from the gas station towards where my mother now lives at the end of the road. In the dream I looked toward the side of the road and saw these giant shadow spiders rustling in the weeds. They jumped out and on to my chest and sank their fangs in. I was paralyzed with fear. Then the most beautiful woman I ever saw, hair changing from red to blonde, dressed in old 1700s style Irish dress, with skin the fairest I had ever seen walked up and spoke to me.

"Fear not these creatures, they are drawing the darkness out of you"

She helped me up and the shadow spiders ran back into the weeds and vanished. The fair maid told me "walk back the way you came and decide if you want to be apart of their world or ours. If ours come back this way"

I walked back down the road to the gas station and when I arrived it was like some party was going on but these people weren't drinking or partying they were walking around like robots and each saying some bumper sticker like Alcoholics Anonymous slogans to each other. I walked around for a bit trying to find someone who wasn't like these robots and found 3 people sitting down behind the gas station laughing at the others. I approached and one old man looked at me said

"Why are you still here? You are not these people, you were meant for more. Go back down the road to the fair lady"

I immediately left the robots and the 3 strangers and began walking back down the road. At this point I could many folks in the road with the fair lady. They looked dressed in old Celtic or Irish or viking dress. One warrior type guy spoke next as I approached

"this is him? He doesn't look like much to me"

The fair lady spoke next

"You don't see what I see, try looking harder next time"

With that she bid me follow her into the woods. I did, as we went into the tree line suddenly we were free falling into another world from the sky. Below, I could see a world untouched by pollution. Lush forest, beautiful blue lakes and rivers and we fell towards this giant castle that looked as though it was made from silver and gold and obsidian. We fell towards a tall tower and seemed to pass through the roof.

Inside was an old king, who resembled my grandfather who had passed away 10 years ago. He appeared laying on his death bed. The fair lady spoke

"You will write a fantastic, epic tale of this land. With 5 books. The first book will be called The Death of the King"

We seemed to jump into the air again and into the Great hall of the castle. Here I saw heads of state, military and a royal family all arguing over the next in line to be King. The fair lady spoke again and as she did shadow spiders emerged from the walls and foul smelling shit came up from the floor yet The people argued even more.

"The next book shall be called a cesspool of spiders"

Again we jumped into the air and landed in a dark, dank dungeon with a lone cell. In the cell I saw a boy growing into a man before my eyes. He looked a lot like me yet I could see scars and injuries form over him, his hair and beard grew wild as he aged and his mind obviously tormented as he screamed loudly like one being neglected except for torture.

The fair lady was about to tell me the name of the third book but someone rode by my street blaring a car horn and it woke me up. For the past few months I have tried every time I slept to get back to the fair lady and get the rest of the tale.

This is what I've dubbed my fairy dream. What do you all think? Should I begin writing?

Strange dream? Or something more?

I was outdoors alone. There was a huge lake before me and huge straight rock formations that looked like walls. As I’m instagramming this beautiful place (bc it’s 2020 and social media’s a thing lol) but as I’m looking at my phone I see a colossal blue face right in front of the rock formations. They were super high up. And so I look to see it in real life and there were what I was almost positive was three Hindu god heads. A king, a queen, and another male. That’s what I referred to them in my head in the dream. They are actually gods and goddesses but what does this mean?? This all happened in a nap. They were very peaceful and they all had smiles on their faces...someone please tell me what this means thanks! 💙
