strange dream

I suspect I had a lot of dreams 
BUT 
the ONLY one that I remember is 

there was this
CATERPILLAR 

it LOOKED like a 
SNAKE

it's tail was the snake's head
& it attached itself to 
a small tree 
(sappling?)
& was lashing itself about 

SHOWING 
all it's movement and gyrations 
& it was COMPLETELY convincing 
as a SNAKE

💯 percent 

I looked it up now that I'm awake 
my dream was MUCH MORE realistic than 
these caterpillars are IRL 

the real ones are good 
BUT 
birds have an instinctual aversion to snake shapes -- even if they were raised in captivity and don't have ANY experience with snakes

I'm not sure what that means 

is it related to 
ILLUSION 

or CAMOUFLAGE 
or SURVIVAL 
or things that LOOK like SNAKES
