I've always been a little bit psychic, having the occasional dream that came true, but lately the energy is overwhelming.

I think this is caused by Neptune retrograding over my sun and venus (12H), and it's also trining my natal pluto.

I've always been good at meditation, but lately the images I'm seeing are intense. They jump too quickly from one to the next, making me feel like too much is coming at me all at once. Also been having lots of dreams about animals, in particular the snake. Why the snake??? In one dream, it wrapped around my leg, biting me. And in another, it was just staring at me. I don't have pet snakes, don't usually think about them. It just seems weird...

The full moon coming up later this month is kind of making me nervous too. It conjuncts my natal sun within a degree or 2, trines my pluto and sextiles my neptune...

For those of you who deal with this all the time, how do you control it? How do you focus in on one image at a time?

Also do you have any meditation rituals you perform at the full moon?

I just came to say that I keep running into literal snakes. About three times in one week, a snake was lying as if dead in my usual path of walking. It looked like a line I would have to cross over. The oddest one was a snake on a little neighborhood street with no sidewalk...right in my path, in that same "line" posture. I thought it was a stick as I approached it. It wouldn't be so weird except I can't remember seeing any snakes in this particular area before. Much less dead-looking ones in my usual path, one after another.

Lately, I've been having interesting dreams of snakes and other animals too. It's only the snake one that I can remember(only bits and pieces). I don't really have a fear of snakes, though this dream shook me. The snake had red eyes and was completely white, it was a baby. It had coiled itself around my waist, the lower half.
Neptune is currently transiting my 12th house and my natal (12th) ruler is in the 8th. I also have chiron (transit) smack on my ASC.
I've been researching kundalini and all forms of healing, as snakes also connects with that. The "caduceus", that's how the one snake looked like, as it was coiling my waist.
So, check and see where the house ruler is, to give you more information. Maybe it will help?
From my own experience: I'm not sure if it is really possible to control the influence of the psychic transits. If you avoid the psychic imprints in your waking state, they will surely catch up with you in your dream state.

So if neptune is transiting Pisces that means Pisces rules your 12th house, right? So then is your natal neptune in the 8th? Or Jupiter?

Did you find out anything regarding the color of your snake? I wonder if the white has significance.

I have checked out the color it stands for healing in some places. It's just the red eyes that threw me off.

The theme of the snake dreams people are having and the neptune transit is quite fascinating.
I hope there are others who will help share their meditations techniques

Sounds like it might be time for a different approach to meditation in which images are swept out of your thoughts. I suggest a Zen approach of counting breaths in which one counts from 1 to 9, starting over from there and continuing. This allows a visual focus on each number as you say/think it. This is best done with eyes open partly like slits in Zen tradition, and focused on a tangible spot (on a wall, ceiling, etc).

I also suggest that grounding may be more important during these more intense periods than meditation. Trees are very effective grounding helpers.

In my view recurrence of the snake in dreams relates to kundalini and how you handle it. The snake biting you particularly suggests that you may be releasing more kundalini than is to your benefit. Please, do not ignore this. If there are intense periods of psychic energy it can mean more kundalini than usual rising through your energy system. This would reinforce what I said about grounding.

Forget trying to capture particular images or hold on to them. It sounds to me like you've got a more urgent priority at the moment, which is to calm down that kundalini rising and get better grounded. It is unhealthy to release more of its stored energy than your nervous system can handle.

Thank you for your reply.

You may be right about the grounding. Now that I consider how the snake bit me on the leg, it makes more sense.
