snake dream

I had my first snake dream and it was scary. What I remember was a snake coming towards me and it was 5-6 feet long. I grabbed it by the tail and head to try and keep it from biting me. I had sqweezed it's neck (near the head)so hard, to keep it from biting me that it's life's red blood shot out of it's mouth all over my arm and the room I was in. It was a heavy and strong snake but I held strong to protect myself. There were people around me but no one helped me as I took it outside to get rid of it. It turned out the snake wasn't dead and I threw it down some hole and blocked the hole. What I felt was sadness that no one helped me.
