Salience spill at the edge
Vivid Snake Dream at Awakening
The snake is hyper-real as you wake — color, scale, presence extreme. That intensity is REM visual/affective salience, not an omen chart about hue.
Phasic REM imagery with high visual salience overlaps the wake edge — hypnopompic continuation of a predator schema.
What's actually happening
Vividness tracks arousal and sensory gating at transitions, not moral meanings of green/black/white. Oneirox refuses color-as-symbol doorways; intensity is the variable.
Hypnopompic carryover can make the snake feel briefly “still in the room.” That is edge-state perception, then it collapses.
If vivid animal imagery at wake is frequent with paralysis or fear, read sleep-paralysis pages in parallel.
The body inside “Vivid Snake Dream at Awakening”
In Vivid Snake Dream at Awakening, start with the body, not the Wikipedia of symbols. The snake is hyper-real as you wake — color, scale, presence extreme. That intensity is REM visual/affective salience, not an omen chart about hue. The circuit we actually track here is amygdala-biased predator schema on skin and distance. Related somatic rows on this site name Phasic REM eye-twitch burst; Hypnopompic immobility. If those markers were present — even slightly — they outrank a one-word “meaning.” PGO & autonomic surge is the physiology pillar for this URL, not a decoration.
SIGNAL on this page is specific: Phasic REM imagery with high visual salience overlaps the wake edge — hypnopompic continuation of a predator schema. That sentence is the working hypothesis. The internal key is hypnopompic_visual_salience_spill — a lab name for a loop, not a fortune. A vivid snake at awakening is high-salience REM imagery spilling into wake — visual intensity, not a color dictionary. Keep that description honest: if the night had no matching body residue, say so in Lab Search instead of forcing the image to confess.
The omen version vs the mechanism version
Vivid Snake Dream at Awakening is not a sealed omen for “vivid-at-awakening”, not a diagnosis, and not a moral grade of snakes. A symbol table would freeze one object in Vivid Snake Dream at Awakening and throw away the verb that this URL actually stores. Kicker — “Salience spill at the edge” — is the human door into hypnopompic_visual_salience_spill, not a second theory.
