There was a snake in a cage and I walked over and put a second one in to accompany it. After both snakes were in the cage they began eating each other's tails until their heads met each other. Even in my dream I found this really unsettling.

What 2 "snakes" have you put together recently in your waking life? The definition of a "snake" in a dream should help you ID who they are: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/snake.html The definition of a cage may prove helpful for identification purposes as well: dreamdoctor.com/dream-dictionary/definitions/cage.html

If that doesn't ring any bells, please share what major issues, events or interpresonal conflicts were going on in your waking life just before you had the dream.

Thanks!
