As Seen On Tv Snake
what does a long green snake coming towards my mum and me in the car mean?

the dream:

i was with my mum in the car, in the distance i saw a long, green strong looking ‘thing’ approaching us very quicky, which i realised was a snake. it was reallt weird as i have nothing to d with snakes/havent seen them recently in any format (i usually have weird things in my dreams if i saw something on tv or elsewhere).

It put its head through the half open window, which was on my mums side. i was afraid it would bite her, or me, as my mum put her hands to its ‘nose’. My mother is brave and fearless when it comes to ‘scary’ animals or freezing sea temperatures etc. It didn’t harm us, but it came towards me (us) in a way that made me feel threatened. i have read mixed reviews about snakes in dreams. i guess the main thing about mine was the feeling that it might harm us, that my mum was being too risky putting her hand so close to it, and the threat and confusion that it came up to our car at all. any help please? xxx

check out this site. its a dream interpretation site in the search bar type in snake and something will come up explaining different meanings….

Infomercials Turn 25 … and Still Can’t Get No Respect!

I’m hardly the first to call infomercials the Rodney Dangerfield of advertising, but 25 years after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) eliminated restrictions on how much advertising TV stations could air in an hour, I feel oddly compelled to tug on my necktie and give my head a quick shake.

It’s a love-hate relationship America shares with my favorite format. Given sales figures for products from Proactiv Solution to P90X, the love is indisputable. Even in our blemished economy, advertisers spend around $1 billion on half-hour time slots alone — and viewers make plenty of purchases to justify it. What’s more, millions who haven’t (yet!) bought infomercial products have likely made time to watch parodies on YouTube, or perhaps even made one themselves.

But parodies are not always kind. In jest, they make fun of Billy Mays’ yelling and Vince Offer’s headset. More cutting, they attack the utility of mattresses, stain cleaners and wealth-building strategies. By extension, they ridicule the people who purchase them. They get no respect either — no matter how efficient their kitchens or stain-free their carpets. 

An online “Infomercial Trek” reveals a growing handful of Web sites that drip with venom far worse than the snake oil they purport to illuminate. Unambiguously-named sites like http://Infomercial-Hell.com/ and http://InfomercialScams.com/ are hardly fair and balanced (the latter doesn’t post “reviews,” it posts “complaints”)

Only when you go boldly to more general forums does the commentary start to mirror behavior. A Minnesota-themed blog featuring an “Infomercial Sucker Poll,” for instance, returned more positive comments about As-Seen-On-TV products than it did negative ones — including the delighted (and delightful) admission: “It actually really worked.”

Infomercials thrive by making good first impressions and by delivering products that solve common consumer problems. So it’s ironic that their reputation still is bogged down by a past generation’s mindset. In movies, infomercials often serve as shorthand to illustrate the sleaziness or emptiness that define hapless characters’ lives. It’s what downtrodden schlubs watch at the motel, or what captivates the drunken numbskulls in Old School.

From that intellectual giant we call “movies,” this is harder to swallow than sawdust. What’s truly empty-headed is singling out infomercials as deceptive and silly. Sleazy? DRTV is the most transparent selling format out there. Want to know what that steam mop costs? We’ll tell you 10 times. That 12-pack of Coors shown in Sunday’s baseball game commercial? Sorry. You have to hop in your car to find out.

No product that can support a half-hour of scrutiny can be that bad of a product. Just imagine what an infomercial for a soft drink might look like. After “it tastes good,” you’re pretty much grasping at “it’s bubbly,” and “it’s not as bad for you as beer.” So who’s fooling whom?

Happily, after 25 years, we industry veterans can enjoy the last laugh. The chronic displays of disrespect remain tiresome, and the haters are tedious nags. But suck as they do, they don’t do it nearly so well as a Fantom, a Shark or an Oreck. As millions of consumers can tell you … they actually really work!

What does this dream about a snake mean? ?

I drempt that I was asleep as I woke (in the dream) I was being aggressed by a cobra that belonged to me. I was extremely cautious and didn’t dare move in case it attacked. Eventually I moved away from the snake and it actively persued me around my family/ childhood home (this is not where I live now). I don’t think it ever bit me but in the end I extracted it’s venom in the classic way that you see on TV. There was a detail that I couldn’t get one of it’s fangs through the rubber top on the venom pot. I did get quite a lot of vemon from it and a lot also sprayed out. I then put it into a sack and threw it away. I remember being real weary about not letting go of it’s head until the time was right.

Venom
To come in contact with venom in your dream, represents pent-up anger and hostility you may be expressing or experiencing from others. Your feelings of hate are beginning to show through. The dream is also indicative of a lack of self-esteem, lack of self-love, or insecurities you have.

Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. Alternatively, the snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize temptation, dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can’t be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent healing, transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.�

To see a sack in your dream, symbolizes the womb and your sense of security. Alternatively, it represents your burdens and responsibilities.
