These dreams are teaching dreams, I have a legit interpretation but was wondering what you thought they meant.

DREAM 1: I feel alienated by a large city, end up underwater swimming for a safe place, a bunch of sea snakes chase behind, one bites and leaves a mark on me, I am scared the whole time.

DREAM 2: I am wearing an ornate snake as a belt, it is "normal" snake size, the snake releases it's tail from it's mouth and grows large and bites me but the fangs are invisible and my fear is lifted in some respects.

DREAM 3: Snake appears massive and ornate patterns stretch on it's endless back, we are alone in this blank nothingness, it circles me and grows and rises until it is ten feet tall (i knew it was ten feet for some reason) he comes up to my face and we are eye to eye, I am not scared at all this whole time, I touch it's face gently and it releases whatever hold it had on me and leaves into the void.

Opinions?

This girl at a place I work is so amazing looking, made small talk, she was asking questions also. Next time we were working I didn't say anything, some days I just can't talk to people, and I was reading the whole shift. She came out when she was done and introduced herself since i never got her name the first time. Either way, is this just because of my perceived shyness and trying to make friends or something else?

I have a degree in fine arts (painting and printmaking) and am wanting to go to school for painting in China, more specifically University of China Hong Kong. My reason being that I do not want a european based teaching and learning system, also the affinity with native american art and some of my beliefs about art. What are my chances of being accepted into an art program in China as a foreigner? What are some universities in China that a native would recommend for fine arts? Lastly, what are your opinions on this?

I am looking at getting a backpacking stove set (trangia alchohol stove and pan set) and was wondering what I would need to clean the aluminum bowls if anything burns onto them. I don't want extra weight because they make non stick sets, but non stick scratches easily...

I would like to try peyote, I have done decent doses of LSD and mushrooms and combining them. I don't do this to just get "high", it is a spiritual process of learning and understanding for me. I have tripped 20 or more times. Never had a "bad" trip but came to some scary places mentally and visually and seemed to cope well with them. I want your experiences with the drug, information you find important etc.
