The dream starts out with myself, and a number of others, are at a huge banquet.  The room is broken up into two parts with seating on the far side, and this group of tables near me on the other side, each with their specialties, delicacies, etc.  There was a table for meats, one for ice cream and dairy products, another for drinks, another for vegetables, etc.  Sorta like a buffet, but broken up by food categories.  I, myself, was helping out at the bakery table.  They had bread, muffins, and other baked treats there.  I remember my first task was slicing bread, and the chef there gave me a couple different knives to work with so that, if one got dull, I could just hot swap it for another and keep slicing.  I also helped with serving, and with cutting bigger pieces into smaller ones, mostly for kids so it'd be easier to eat, and so on.  Eventually my work was done and I stepped back from the table to start dishing up a plate for myself.

    However, it was at this moment that this big python snake came in and tried to attack me.  Three other creatures joined it at the same time: An alligator, a shark, and a spider (big sucker too, probably the size of a french poodle or bulldog).  Anyhow, they all came after me initially, but I successfully maneuvered so that I was only having to deal with the python.  Back and forth we went, with me successfully repelling it, or blocking it from striking and harming me.  I then went about talking to, and trying to convince it not to attack me anymore.  I remember that as I did this, it's face started glowing.  Not the entire face or head, but like little spots of light that were up to a half dollar in size.  As this happened I noticed fear appear, and quickly grow in the python's face.  Eventually it started to look for a way out, and then suddenly launched itself at me.

    But not to directly strike me.  It wanted out, and I was in the way, as I was standing between it and the door.  It then quickly raced through the door behind me and into the utter, pitch black darkness beyond.  Next I turned my attention to the alligator, who seemed like it was watching how I was handling the snake, and was now clearly scared itself, given how adeptly I dealt with the snake.  We then kinda danced back and forth for a bit, with it periodically hissing at me while I tried to talk it down.  Eventually it lunged at me, but not to hurt me.  It legit leapt over me, and through the door, to get away from me, escaping into the same pitch black darkness as the snake.  I then looked back and took stock of the shark (about the size of a baby great white) on the floor, in a pool of water, and the spider.

    I then turned and looked at the shark (the spider didn't seem like an immediate threat, as it was just sitting there mutely, kinda staring at me, but not sure how to proceed), and then suddenly had this sorta "flashover" where I found myself in this huge fishing boat (think the Jaws boat) and we're paralleling this absolutely massive Great White shark, probably easily the size of an Orca.  I remember that it wore what looked like plate armor (think medieval knight), but done in a way that protected its vital organs and weak spots, but didn't restrict its swimming.  We watched as it paralleled the boat, going in and out of the water, while looking super fierce.  I then returned to the banquet and stared at the baby great white and the spider, and contemplated what I would do next as I knew that I didn't want to let my guard down while they were there, or turn my back on them.  The dream ended there.
