Question

Assalaam o alaykum,

I wish not to make this question open to public.

I want to know the meaning of a dream.
I was going to our farms with my father. i saw a 2 meter wide snake, not wide but long. The snake like to go where ever i go and want to stay with me. I am scared. Snake do not hurt me and is nice to me. My father says, do not stay with this, it will bite you. I told the snake go away. After snake hear this, it became sad, and started to cry and cry. I felt so sad, so i took the snake home with us. After reach home, father said, lets tie a rope to the snake so it does not go here or there and do not bite you. it was long rope. but i let the snake be free. The snake catches a mouse from home and ate it and went on top of the house. I worry about the rope, as if some other people will see the rope, they will kill the snake. then i woke up, the snake was green color. I am new muslima, and no other in my family is muslim, I am also engaged to a muslim boy and we plan to get married soon. i do not practice islam openly and still hide my islam from my family and other people.

Salam,
Maria
