The Dream Snake is a short horror story by Robert E. Howard, first published in February 1928 in Weird Tales. The narrative follows a man named Faming, who recounts a recurring nightmare of being pursued by a monstrous serpent while living in isolation in a bungalow in Africa. The story explores themes of psychological terror and the impact of fear on the mind, culminating in a chilling conclusion that blurs the line between dreams and reality.
