Dream Interpretation - Kill, die

Very often in a dream you have to either kill, or die, say. But, despite the external horror of what is happening, guided by our principle of inversion in the interpretation of dreams, we conclude that the dream is good!

Everything is based on the idea of \u200b\u200binversion. And the logic is simple: to kill in a dream - it means to drastically solve any problems in real life, so to speak. What is interesting, the same thing is and when you are killed: as they say there is no person, there is no problem. To die in a dream, it means that it is also solved by a radical problem, only in another way, so to say it is expected from the decision.

If you go and wet someone all dream, kill, then decide (drastically) the problem ourselves, on your own; If you kill you, you are self-made from the decision, but also get rid of, and also radically!

Summarizing, we get that killing in a dream, or die in a dream \u003d very good sleep, denoting a successful solution of current problems with a radical way.

There is really an exceptions here: for example, you kill in a dream from once a time, this is already a completely different topic, maybe related to your service activities, maybe your work in realay \u003d solve problems, for example, if you are a policeman? Or a gangster.

Cobra is one of the most poisonous snakes in the world, its distinctive feature is the presence of a hood on the head, which Reptile swells, signing about readiness to throw on his sacrifice or enemy.

Cobra is common name different species Poisonous snakes from the Aspid family (Lat. Elapidae.), not united overall taxonomic unit. Most of these reptiles belongs to the genus of real cobra (lat. Naja.).

The name "Cobra" appeared in the XVI century, when, during the "history of great geographical discoveries", the Portuguese, moving in India, first met the spectacle snake. They called it Cobra de Capello. ("Snake in the Hat"). According to them, British travelers and merchants began to call the cells of all the snakes "with a hood".

Cobra - description and photos. What does Cobra look like?

Cobra length depends on the age of reptile. These snakes grow all their lives, and the longer they exist, the larger they become.

From recorded records, it is known that the smallest Cobra is Mozambique (Lat. Naja.mossambica.), The average length of the adult reptile is 0.9-1.05 m, at a maximum length of up to 1.54 m. The biggest cobra in the world is royal (lat. Ophiophagus Hannah.), reaching the maximum size of 5.85 meters and the mass of more than 12 kg.

In the calm condition, the cob is difficult to distinguish from other snakes. Being irritated, they take a characteristic posture: lifting high above the ground the upper part of the body, expand the cervical and partially torso departments, creating an illusion of volume.

Thanks to the elastic muscles of 8 pairs, Röbembers reptiles expand and form the so-called hood, which distinguishes Cobre from other snakes. By the way, it is thanks to the hood Cobra scare the enemy.

Cobra color is adaptive. The deserted species of sandy-yellow color, woods have a greenish color, the inhabitants of overgrown plants of plants - pedestal. In the tropics where plants there are many different colors, bright types are inhabited: Coral Cobra (Lat. Aspidelaps Lubricus.) And the red sprinkling cobra (lat. Naja Pallida.). Point snake (lat. Naja Naja.) Decorated with light circles on the dorsal side of the top of the body. A characteristic feature of Cobre is the presence of more or less pronounced transverse dark stripes, stronger than those noticeable on the neck.

The head of the cobra front is rounded, top with a flat, covered with shields that are missing on the cheekbones. Having a cervical part, it smoothly goes into the body. Scales on the back of the reptile smooth, and the abdominal side is covered with highly expanded light shields.

Cobra's eyes are dark, small and non-moving, covered with a fine transparent film, resulting in the captivity of the eyelids. They are well protected from dust and loss of moisture, but because of this cover, the vision of the cobra does not differ in great clarity. The eye film is coming together with the skin during molting.

In day serpent, what are the cobra, the eye pupil has a round shape.

The upper jaw of the snake is armed with quite large (6 mm y central Asian species), sharp, poisonous tubular teeth. Kobra's teeth are not long enough, and therefore the reptiles are forced to keep sacrificing tightly to apply several bites at once. According to the structure of the poisonous apparatus, representatives of the ASPID family belong to the front-seat (proteodoglyphic) snakes. Their poisonous teeth are located in the front of the narrow of the upper jaw, on their outer surface are noticeable "seam", and the poison flows not on the groove outside, but inside the tooth on the downtreaching canal. The teeth are sitting in the jaw bone still. Because of their convenient location and the perfect nucleation device, the bite of the cobra is deadly dangerous.

For these teeth, the poisonous snakes are located others that replace basic when damaged. There are 3-5 pairs of teeth on the upper jaw of Kobreob. They are sharp, thin, bent back and are not intended for breaking and degrading production. Cobras swallow the victim entirely.

Feeling body having for snakes essential value - Chemical analyzer (Jacobson organ, having two holes on the top of the reptile nicer) in combination with the language. A long, narrow, twisted on the end of the cobra tongue is supervised, trembling in the air or feelings near the items and again hides in the semicircular clipping of the upper jaw leading to the Jacobson organ. So an animal analyzes chemical composition Whole nearby or at a distance, identify prey, even if there is a small share of its substances in the air. This body is very sensitive, a snake quickly and unmistakably finds a sacrifice, a partner for mating or water reserves.

Cobre has a well-developed sense of smell. Their nostrils are located on the sides of the front of the skull. They have no outdoor ear, and in the understanding, to which we are accustomed, cobras are blind, since they do not perceive air fluctuations. But because of the development of the inner ear, they capture even the slightest oscillations of the soil. Snakes do not react to the cries of a person, but it is perfectly noticed by His Topot.

Line cobra from 4 to 6 times a year and grow all their lives. Link lasted about 10 days. At this time, the snakes are hiding in shelter, since their body becomes vulnerable.

Where do cobra dwell?

Snakes with a "hood" - residents of the Old World (Asia, Africa). They are extremely warm and can not exist where snow cover is formed. The exception is the Central Asian Cobra: in the north of its habitat includes part of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. In Africa, cobra is found throughout the mainland. Also, cobra live in South, Western, Eastern and Central Asia, in the Philippine and Stern Islands. They prefer arid places: savanna, deserts, semi-deserts. Less often B. tropical forests, in the mountains to a height of 2400 m., In the valleys of rivers. In Russia, Cobras do not live.

Cobras are very movable snakes, they can crawl around the trees and swim. They are active, mostly in the afternoon, but in the deserts lead a night lifestyle. average speed Cobra is 6 km per hour. She will not be able to catch up with a runaway man, but this is a hypothetical statement, as Cobras never pursue people. A person will be able to catch up with the snake pretty easy.

What does Cobra eat?

Most cob - predators, they eat amphibians (,), birds (terrible nesting small sparrows, gootoev), reptiles (more often than others, less often), mammals (rodents), fish. There can eat eggs birds. Some species do not refuse fell.

Reproduction of Cobre

Cobras multiply once a year. Depending on the climatic beltin which they live, the period of their breeding can begin both in the spring and in the winter months. For example, at the Royal Cobra, the pairing period takes place in January-February. The males fight for the female, but at the same time they do not bite each other. Male Cobra can even eat a female if she turned out to be someone fertilized to him. Pairing is preceded by a care, in the process of which the male makes sure that the female is not going to have lunch (at the royal cobra).

Pairing reptiles continues within an hour. After 1-3 months, most of the cobra (egg-holder) lays eggs, the number of which varies depending on the type and can be equal to both 8 and 80 pieces. Only one species, collar cobra, belongs to the courtesy animals. It brings up to 60 live cubs at a time.

Eggsiforning cobra lay eggs into the nest from the leaves and branches (Indian and royal cobra), in the heap, in the clefts between the stones. The diameter of the jack of the royal cobra can reach 5 meters, the snake builds it on the hill so that the rain water does not flood the masonry. The temperature required for the development of the juvenile temperature of 24-26 degrees Celsius is maintained by the optimal volume of rotting leaves.

Almost all types of Cobre usually female, and sometimes the male guard the future offspring until their hatching. Immediately before the appearance of kids, parents crawl away from them so that after a long hunger strike, do not eat them.

The cubs that appeared are already completely similar to representatives of their kind and species, and also poisonous. The pose of a threat from Kobroz is a congenital phenomenon, and the snakes that came out of the eggs are dying at the sight of danger as well as adults. In the first day, kids feed on the remains of egg yolks, preserved after hatching. Because of its size, at first, small cobra hunt only for fine prey, they are often satisfied with insects.

How many cobra live?

The life expectancy of Cobre in nature is not established, but there are cases of habitat of some species under 29 years. In terrariums they live to 14-26 years.

There she lays eggs and covers their rotting foliage from above. Itself is placed nearby, zealously guarding the future offspring from anyone who will dare to get closer to him by inappropriate. Sometimes the Father is also involved in the guard. The cubs are born a value of 50 cm, with shiny skin, as if a tied yellow ribbon.

The poison of the royal cobra is very strong: they even die from her bite. The man whom the royal cobra bit could die for 30 minutes. Reptile actively warns the approaching enemies, making a piercing whistling hiss, taking a "pose of cobra", but at the same time climbing the other Kell 1 meter above and not swinging from side to side (royally).

It hits the target, but sometimes it confuses brilliant items - trouser buckles, clock dials, etc. Cobra cobra does not cause inflammation, but if it gets into the eyes, it will ensure temporary loss of vision. Studying the process of throwing poison on this type of cob, scientists found out that during the reduction of special muscles, the entrance to the trachea of \u200b\u200bthe reptile. This ensures a directional flight of the jet, which does not shift the air flow.

Queen among Snake

Royal Cobra (Point Cobra) is the largest of poisonous snakes on our planet. It is the usual length - four meters, but there are also individuals up to six (!) Meters long! This "snake queen" in warm countries: in India, in the Philipino Islands, in Indochita. He lives in Norah, where and puts out his eggs, of which royal serpents hatch. Hunting Point Cobra at night, the afternoon hides from the burning southern sun in his hole. Its main mining is small rodents. By the way, killing them, Cobra brings considerable advantage of landowners. Royal Cobra (photos of which should not be confused with Indian Cobra) is considered the most dangerous and most aggressive Snake In all of India, already sisite snakes.

Royal Cobra is a very poisonous snake. Her characteristic feature It is that in most cases it will never bite, without warning it in advance about it. Let's look at this situation in more detail. He carelessly approached the person or animal Cobra warns the formidable hissing and bloated hood, which shows the pattern in the form of glasses (for which she was given the second name - glasses).

Having accepted the battle rack, it makes several preventive attacks towards his opponent, putting the deadly fight until the last. The most recent "Chinese" warning is a snake blow head on the enemy, while the mouth does not open. Interestingly, for repeated warnings before attacking this cobra nicknamed a noble snake. Without them, the royal cobra bites only in two cases: if she grabbed her hand or come on her foot.

If repeated warnings from the royal cobra were ignored, the fight between the snake and her opponent begins. Protecting, the royal Cobra will surely bite, most likely, fadingly poisoning his offender with poison, and she has a very strong poison. She introduces it in the enemy, judging by the sizes of the Snake itself, in large quantities... The consequences of the bite affect about 10 minutes and are usually planning. To enter the poison, cob is enough to cling to your offender by a dead grip, holding it so for some time. If the snake immediately managed to tear off (which is unlikely - during her size!), The particularly serious consequences of the bite may not be, but this is subject to that it could not bite re-bite. If the cobra clung to tightly, and at the same time she also "walked" his offender, then there is no chance to survive! The battle between Coroba and her opponent resembles something like a hand-to-hand fight, because if, for example, the guy "beats" with a long distance, and then bounces back, then Cobra - no! This fight may be dangerous for the life of the Cobra itself, so the fact that her opponent is already "sentenced," snake comforts little.

Remember that with all your nobility, the Royal Cobra is a rather temperamental snake, and if you don't have polite warnings in time, the attack is inevitable. Calling into rage, she assertively begins to fight, while it can start the persecution of the retreating opponent ... Although, whatever Cobra - the Royal, Indian, Central Asian or any other, is primarily a snake with a deadly poison, which is better to stay Fresh.

Interesting ritual - eating cobra. And this is not at all when you serves cobra dishes in the restaurant. The restaurant is just a food. In order to feel and understand the essence of this ritual, you need to go on the backyard of the Vietnamese city or to the village. Immediately warn you that pleasure is not cheap. Cobra - Dear Snake. Hunting Cobra is very dangerous. There are no cases when the snake bites the hunter, and its poison is deadly. The only way to rescue life in this case is to cut off (if possible) bite limb or cut part of the flesh. Therefore, in places where the mining of Cobra is often able to meet people without a finger or hand, and sometimes without hands or legs. But the demand gives birth to an offer. Tourists crave to try the taste of cobra, and the locals earn money on it.

If you decide to this ritual, you can trace the entire process of cooking cobra. To begin with, you will be shown the snake itself, while I will knock on my head a little to call, then the cobra inflates his hood - the client must see what Cobru was prepared for him. After all, the price of cobra is several times higher than any other snake.
Well, then you will demonstrate a snake in her whole growth, if you wish, you can even touch the living Cobra until Vietnamese holds her head. Then cobre is very prosaic, scissors, cut off her head.


According to reference, before killing Cobra, it is covered with a tight bag on his head. This is done so that the snake does not see who she kills her and her rhodiers could not take revenge. Our Vietnamese for some reason neglected this rule. To the question why they do not do it - they simply dismissible - such as it is not necessary. I had a feeling that I better know Vietnamese customs than themselves. This is not surprising, I was preparing, read the literature, studied the subtleties of this ritual, and the locals were dark by people, they simply did their job without regard to superstition.
So, the head is cut off, and now, a fearless tourist can open his courage, keeping in naked hands The wriggling body of one of the most dangerous creatures on Earth!


Next begins the process of cooking a snake. The first thing in a bottle with vodka merges the blood of a cobra - we will drink this drink all that we will prepare from the reptile. Then the snake was washed, clean from scales and remove the skin with it. All this time, her body continues to shovel. Spectacle, how to say, not for the faint of heart. From the cobra get the heart and bile. These are the main attributes of the ritual, without this, the process would have turned simply to murder and eating a snake, but all his time.


While the processing of the cobra is, we offer another snake. For a large company of one cobra little, and you can order a simple snake at a much lower price, so to speak for mass. I do not know what it was for the snake, the Vietnamese was called it - a simple snake. As far as I understood, she was not poisonous, because they offered to put her on her neck to everyone, with Cobra such liberty were dismissed.


If you wish, you can see the entire cooking process. Interestingly, Cobra is practically waste living animals in culinary plan. A piece of meat is cut into pieces and fried, from other parts, soup boils, and they still make mince, rush into the grape leaves and prepare on the grill. Even the skin goes into business - chopped into pieces and roasted in oil it turns into peculiar chips. Only one head went to the scrap.


So, we begin the ritual. First of all, you need to swallow the beating heart of the cobra. It continues to beat for another 15 minutes, after it was taken out of the body. We put the heart to the root of the tongue, swallow and drink vodka with cobra blood. Now in my chest two hearts begged. A man who swallowed the beating heart of Cobra becomes the same wise and bold as a cobra.


Next, the same thing is necessary to do with snake bile. And this is already to enhance immunity - so that health is strong.
Then you can begin to eat dishes from cobra and "just snakes": a snake soup, fried meat pieces (never thought that snake meat is so hard), Farshik, baked in the leaves and crispy chips from snake skin and all this is abundantly dried by vodka with blood.


Such a ritual. Even for those who are not a supporter of such culinary experiments, the whole action is very interesting. Well, for lovers of such extreme, it's just amazing.
So, I recommend. You will be in Vietnam, be sure to look for where you can order such a ritual. Usually, in numerous local tour. The agents are in the list of excursions and a trip to such a restaurant on the farm. And if there is a desire to plunge into the world of specific Vietnamese cuisine, then there you can also order and boiled duck eggs with embryos, the so-called ballet.


It is said that the taste is incomparable with anything at the same time and the egg, and the gentle chick meat with a still soft bone. Ballet - very popular food in countries south-East Asia. I personally refrain from such a dish, but who knows, maybe next time?
