But first, I'll take guesses! What is the significance of the remote? Any Jungians around here?

I don't know nuthin' 'bout no Jungians, but I can imagine what a Freudian might say. :(

Can someone help me sort this out? I've had very vivid, colorful dreams as long as I can remember, but this dream is probably the weirdest I've ever experienced:
I'm sort of an observer at a wedding. I don't remember being invited to a wedding, I never actually enter the church, and I don't know the couple getting married. In fact, I stand near the steps to the church where several bridesmaids dressed in pink suits with thigh-high skirts, and carrying pink carnations, are lining up to enter the church. Each young woman is more beautiful than the next and they're chatting excitedly among themselves.
At this point the scene changes dramatically: I'm in a pawn shop and a man I don't know is at the counter trying to sell a huge python to the clerk, or pawn shop owner. I've never seen the man before -- he was kind or ordinary: very tall, pale, balding, and wearing a sharp gray suit. The fact that he was trying to pawn or sell a python was odd enough, but when he held the serpent up high by its head and the tail, the snake's body doubled up (no other way to describe it) and when the snake's body folded in on itself it formed a pattern like a granny square blanket. The design was beautiful, but how bizarre! The strange thing was that no one in the shop seemed afraid, or surprised that the snake used its body to formed a pattern. The pawn shop clerk/owner was not interested, and the man was disappointed.
I know weddings and snakes are common in dreams, but these images seem crazy. Any ideas?
Front-Ranger:
Oh boy, this is exciting! I will have to ponder your dream for a while but here is something I offer for starters.
Dreaming of snakes is one of the most common animal dreams. It is commonly associated with menace, danger, and sin, but there is a more ancient association. The snake is primitively associated with the female force. Thus, we see the ancient Cretan goddess with snakes in her hands. The snake is associated with the movement of a female during sex, a back-and-forth, undulating motion. It is a primordial symbol and motion. Many people are afraid of snakes and the symbolic reference to them, but others embrace the snake symbology as a powerful force of creation.

Thanks, Babe, for your speedy reply. I've read that snakes also represent transformation and healing. I'm excited to read your further interpretation. No rush -- I'm not going anywhere. :)
