dream unlock driveway gate

Hi there. Im not sure if u can help but here goes. This dream freaked me out a bit. In my dream my mother asked me to unlock our driveway gate because my dad was going to be home soon. But when i get there theres a snake hanging from the fence. Its tail wrapped through the holes with its head pointing downwards. I see just the white unside. It seems like a python. I freak out and try the walk in gate but theres a python there too but its shorter. I run up and tell my mum and she points out that theres one on the broke piece of fence in our backyard as well. My dad then arrives and somehow comes inside. But i have this feeling of panic at not being able 2 get the snakes out and not being able 2 leave my home freely. Btw i have a fear of snakes. Please help.
