Yorokobu neko to hebi of doom....

In my dream early this morning...
I was night walking as I find myself doing... and this strange cat began to follow me... I just thought he was going about his business... but it soon became apparent that he was in fact... actually stalking me.
I turned to face him and he came up to me with a little bit of spring in his step... quite a jovial sense about him.
I did not recognize him at all...
But as he approached he began to speak to me. I was very perplexed but interested all the same... He didn't hold a conversation per say... just spoke... almost like he was singing... but he was not...
He continued to walk as he spoke to me and I just walked beside him and listened with much confusion...
He spoke very matter-of-factly...
It was like he was... reciting! Yes... Reciting something... something that I knew well already... something like shake spear... and that is why I could not hold a conversation with him... he wasn't talking... indeed he did not even seem to comprehend his own words... he just recited... like a parrot.. but with much more delicacy and length and punctuality.
I found this to be incredibly curious and walked with him all the way home. I found that he lived right next door to me... the house that I lived in was an exact replica of the one I lived in, in Saudi... and I knocked fervently on the door... calling out for Xzedd to come see this fascinating cat.
The owner of this cat heard him reciting to me at the back door in the carport across from my own and as he came out and picked up the cat I asked him how in the world he had gotten the cat to recite as it did, and why doing so seemed to make him so happy...
As the man laughed and began explaining the process to me Zed came out and I pointed toward the cat telling him to listen to it and I chided it to continue. It did with pleasure and xzedd stood in the door way half impressed with his eyebrows up and his arms folded...
The owner and the cat waved goodnight to us... both seemed to be smiling....
I gave it a fair bit of internal thought as we went inside...
I was living in this place that was a combination of my brother's old room in my parents house an acquaintance’s acquaintance’s apartment and... somewhere in Europe... Xzedd was still living with me...
thinking of the strange cat made me consider checking on my own pets and I got up to go check on something that was a combination of Noyoka Ghost & Arachnea ...
When I got to the tank it was huge...
Three and four times the size of Yuri's... but it was shaped like Noyoka's. When I looked inside of it, I saw a ton of little snakes everywhere...
I was shocked and called out to xzedd who was in another room... I yelled to him with something to the affect of wholy shit! *miscellaneous name to represent Noyoka and Ghost merged creature rep* just gave birth... He called back with perplexion as he put down whatever he was working on and started down the hallway to see what the fuck I was talking about....I was slightly disturbed for multiple reasons,
The first was that I didn't understand how it was possible that the snake had been impregnated... Not only was it supposed to be a boy, but there was nothing else in the cage to impregnate it with...
The second was that all the little snake babies were the size and shape of ribbon snakes but they had a ball python pattern on them and they were born to something that was neither...
The third was that it was currently in the process of devouring all of its newly born young...
The fourth was that only about half of what it had given birth to were snake looking creatures... the other half actually looked like little human fetuses...
& the final surprise that perplexed me greatly was that as I stood up on a stool of some sort to pull the current newborn being swallowed out of it's parent's mouth and collect the rest, I overturned a large hide-away rock and found a mysterious and poisonous colored albino half eel looking female snake and dropped it startled with a yelp as xzedd came into the room half annoyed...
I was very confused and avoided the rock as I gathered all the little squirming garden snake sized ball pythons and asked xzedd to set up a nursery for them with a little pen and a heat lamp in the closet. He became half interested as he set up the pen for me and I set the little ones inside. I began explaining in exasperation my shock with everything As I pulled out the queer alien looking little life forms that the albino eel snake had apparently given birth to along with the mixed breed snakes that were left... They were apparently alive, they were warm, but they were like molded sculptures... they hardly moved or breathed or made a sound... it was eerie....
I set them in the pen as well... I wasn't sure what to do with all of them....
I turned back to the tank and overturned the hide away rock again for him to see the strange albino eel female...
I asked him why he hadn't been watching them because apparently it had been his duty to do so...
He said that he hadn't thought they needed such supervision...
I asked him how the strange snake female had gotten in there... he shrugged his shoulders...
I was annoyed that this had happened and no one had been there to take care if it... mostly because of the snakes that had been eaten... and that they may have gotten a better chance if the whole thing had been caught earlier...
I noticed there were still more in the tank... they blended in well with the cage's bottom, but they were in constant motion... having just been brought into life, they were restless... I could see that they had not been born out of eggs... but literally out of this strange snake female... these were not entirely reptiles... but like... half mammals... it was really weird...
I gathered them up and handed them to xzedd for him to put them in their pen...
then I closed the tank lid and got on the phone with the Oregon zoo to find out what to feed the little ones, or if I should let the female in to somehow feed them as they were being eaten before... I found out that they were being eaten because their resources were diminished in the tank and with so many snakes in one place their natural instinct to live was to consume the little ones until there were more reasonable numbers and all could eat and live comfortably...
This made me resent the fact that things had not been taken care of...
As I listened to directions with which to care for them by,
The phone rang and woke me up...
