Snake dreams: The Meaning of Snakes in a Dream

 Introduction to the Snake Dream

When we sleep, we experience several phases of sleep. This is called REM sleep, which is where we have dreams and nightmares. During this very important phase, our brain 🧠 is in full swing because it "sorts" the information stored during the day. This is why we call this sleep "paradoxical": we are asleep and yet our brain is working at full speed!

Dream analysis can be a real goldmine of knowledge if we know how to do it correctly. The discipline that studies the possible interpretations of dreams is called Oniromancy, not to be confused with clairvoyance. Our dreams are linked to our unconscious, and often they have a hidden meaning that is very useful for those who know how to decipher it 🔎. There are a myriad of dreams and as many different esoteric meanings. But among all these dreams, one in particular will interest us today: the snake dream.

 

1) Dreaming of Snakes

• What does the dream of a snake mean?

• Snake dream and waking life

• A unique symbolism

A) What does the dream of a snake mean?

 

One of the most common animals that appears in dreams is the snake. Snakes are complex symbols, because they can have both positive and negative meanings. Many strange dreams are your unconscious's response to past and present events ⌚. If you have disturbing memories or childhood traumas, they can appear in your dreams in the form of a snake. Likewise, when you dream of snakes, it often indicates that you are in a complex situation in your waking life.

Snakes generally symbolize fear or transformation. Dreaming of a snake is a sign that you are afraid of something in your waking life. But it can also be a warning of changes to come ⚠️. Each snake dream has slightly different meanings depending on the context of the dream itself. However, although the snake is considered in Western culture as an evil symbol, it is often linked to progress in life when seen in a dream.

B) When you Dream of a Snake, what does it mean?

Dreams of snakes therefore reflect a situation that is currently part of your life. It is a sign that the time has come to face reality! Indeed, seeing a snake in a dream can be a message from your subconscious that wants to push you to react to a situation that you are confronted with on a daily basis. The image of a snake represents your inner power 💪. This dream is therefore equivalent to a kind of emotional storm in your life.

Moreover, most cold-blooded animals appearing in dreams represent destructive situations in the dreamer's waking life 😴. You may feel bitterness, anxiety, fear, ... In short, harmful feelings. It is true that seeing any type of animal in your dream is often considered a representation of your own personality.

C) The Unique Meaning of Snake Dreams

It is important to clarify that there is not ONE, but MANY snake dreams. Some of these dreams are common to many people, and their meanings are quite well-known ✅. But other dreams featuring snakes are rather rare.

The meaning of such a dream can change completely depending on how the snake appeared to you, your culture, or even your feelings towards snakes 🐍 in waking life!

 

2) Snake Dream

• How to interpret your snake dream?

• Recurring snake dream

• A very popular dream

 

A) Interpreting Snake Dreams

To interpret your dreams and understand the meaning of the snake in them, it is important to take into account your personal experiences with snakes. The meaning of a snake dream will be different for someone who has a snake as a pet, and another who is terrified of this animal 😱. Sometimes, it is difficult to overcome the initial fear that one feels towards the snake to correctly analyze his dream. But remember that the symbolism of snakes can be positive or negative, depending on your feelings towards the snake.

Culture and Snake Dream
To interpret a snake dream, you must also ask yourself how this animal is perceived in your culture 🤔. The snake is an important symbol (benevolent or malevolent) in many cultures. So your cultural background can play an important role in how you will be able to interpret your vision.

Snake Dream Analysis
Details are also very important to understand your dreams. And to start deciphering your vision 👀, you will have to analyze them. To Interpret your snake dream, you must first answer some essential questions:

What type of snake did you dream about?
What color was the snake?
What was the snake doing when it appeared to you?
What were your emotions and attitude during the dream?
Apart from the snake, who was present in your dream?
Once this is done, the information will be in front of you, presenting itself as an unsolved puzzle. All you have to do is put the pieces back in the right place, in order to understand the dreams you are having! 👍

Your Feelings During Your Dream
Even though dreams about snakes are common among many people, each dreamer needs to find their own personal meaning among common observations. Seeing a snake in a dream can mean very different things depending on the person's life situation. In addition, no two dreams about snakes are exactly the same: everyone has a distinct vision 👨‍🏫.

What you felt in the dream is also important. You don't necessarily need a psychologist or psychotherapist to interpret your dream ❌. If you remember it well, you can think of aspects of your life that could have led to this dream. Let yourself be guided by your intuition when trying to interpret what your dream means. If you apply all of this, you will find the solution to your dream by looking deep within yourself. But of course, telling a dream to a loved one and listening to people's dreams when they talk about them can bring you answers and research leads that you wouldn't have thought of!

B) The Recurring Snake Dream

It's not uncommon to see a diablo in our conscious mind every day, and not even notice it. This may be the reason for your recurring dreams. Maybe you're having this dream because you saw a statue or a picture, or even saw a snake on television. It's very rare to remember every dream. Usually when we wake up we have forgotten the vast majority of the dreams we had during the night 😅. The fact that you remember the snake dream is a great sign.

You may even regularly see snakes in your dreams. In this case, you are probably going through a turbulent period at the moment, whether it is positive or negative. As we have seen, the snake can be a symbol of good or evil. Snake dreams often appear when there has been a period of struggle ⚔️ (generating stress, anxiety, neurosis, etc.). But they can also manifest themselves when you are fulfilled in your waking life: love, family, work, etc.

If you notice that your visions of snakes appear regularly without you being able to make the connection with your current daily life, try looking into your past. Perhaps you have a trauma that is coming back to you at the moment. It is important to deal with your past traumas (by writing in a journal or talking to a psychologist for example), because if you don't, these problems will sneak into your dreams 💨.

 

C) Snake Dream: A Very Popular DreamSurprisingly, this is the most popular dream of all time!

We spend almost 25 years dreaming in our lives. It is not surprising that a dream with snakes appears to us more than once during this extraordinary period of time. What is fascinating is that in general, in waking life we ​​do not encounter snakes on a regular basis. The fact that we unconsciously see snakes in certain situations 😨, is perhaps the reason why this dream is so popular.

Our brain is still adapted for prehistoric life: it is trained to detect potential threats in our environment 🤨. This is why sometimes we think that this stick on the ground or this coiled cable has the shape of a snake. Of course, today it is rare to come across a real snake in France, but just thinking "hey, this cable looks a bit like a snake" is enough to bring this animal into our subconscious!

 

3) Dreaming of a Snake: Meaning

Although the interpretation of snake dreams is personal, as we have seen; there are common meanings to these dreams 👍. These can help you solve part of the mystery of your vision.

• Dreaming of a snake and being afraid

• The snake in a dream: a warning

• Snake, growth and transformation

• Snake and the subconscious

• Snake and erotic dream

• Snake, knowledge and wisdom

• The snake: symbol of healing

• The snake and combat

 

 

A) Dreaming of a Snake and Being Afraid

Snakes are known to be scary reptiles.When you dream of snakes, it can be a sign of trouble. You are afraid of something in your waking life, which requires your immediate attention and reaction. This may be related to a problem or a problematic situation in your life ☹️. For example, if you are afraid to confess your true feelings to someone, then you will probably dream about snakes.

For many, the image of a snake can evoke fear. Snakes are unpredictable and can strike at any time without warning 😈. So, a snake appearing in your dream can represent something in your life that is unpredictable and out of control. This unpredictable thing may already be happening, or it will soon appear in your life or in the life of someone you know.


If you feel fear towards snakes in your waking life, there is a good chance that you also feel it in your dream. In this case, a dream about a snake symbolizes that there is something or someone in your life that you fear, and that you do not want to face. With this vision you should realize that you need to overcome this fear. But if the snake you fear starts to run away from you, it means that the thing you fear is only in your mind and will never materialize 😁.

But if you don't feel any particular fear towards snakes and you see one in your dream, it means that you face your fear without any problem and that you dominate it. You face your problems rather than ignoring them. It can also mean that you already know what problems your dream refers to ✅.

B) The Snake in Dream: a Warning

Because snakes are sometimes difficult to see and sneak into the bushes, they are also the symbol of a hidden threat and/or betrayal 🤥. They are eagerly waiting for the perfect opportunity to take action. If the snake bites you in your dream, then the snake is trying to alert you of something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. Seeing a baby snake in your dream means that you are underestimating the threat. If you kill the snake or if the snake is dead, it means that this threat has passed or that you have overcome it.


The snake in a dream represents a warning signal, just like the tail of the rattlesnake when someone gets too close to it 🔔. Dreaming of a snake can mean that something terrible is going to happen to you in the near future, and that you are ignoring it. Especially if the animal you saw in your vision notices you, but does nothing and does not move.

As a metaphor, the snake in your dream can symbolize a person in your surroundings who is evil and ruthless. In this kind of dream, the snake will try to attack you, bite you or even eat you alive 😰. Sometimes, the snake can even take a human form. Your dream is warning you not to trust this person.

C) The Snake signifies Growth, and Transformation

Transformation and the Ouroboros
With the ability to shed their skin by shedding, snakes symbolize transformation. If your snake dream left you with a positive feeling: it represents positive change, self-renewal, growth, knowledge and wisdom 😇.

The snake that bites its tail, known as the Ouroboros, is the symbol of eternity and transformation. It devours itself and is perpetually reborn 🔁. Seeing such a snake in a dream means that you are evolving thanks to your questioning, if you do; or that you need to question yourself to move forward in your life, if you don't.

If the snake in your dream transforms into another person, it may indicate that it is time to give up a bad habit. Similarly, dreaming of a snake shedding its skin means that you are currently undergoing some transformation, and that you are transforming into a new person ✨. This can be negative as well as positive.

Change and Transcendence

A snake can also be a symbol of transcendence to a higher level of consciousness 🌌. The snake represents the awakening of the Kundalini (an energy that coils from the base of the spine, up to the head), which means that you are growing spiritually.

Snakes often represent a change in life, or a renewal. If your life is difficult at the moment, then dreaming of a snake can be your unconscious mind's way of helping you accept your struggle. If you are struggling with the snake in your dream ⚔️, it means that you are struggling with change.

Another positive interpretation of the snake dream indicates the transformation of your life energy into creativity 💡. This increases your potential for a task that you have to accomplish in your waking life, or to find a solution to a problem.

D) Snake and Subconscious

A snake can represent your subconscious mind. Sometimes the snake can be seen in a dream, swimming in the water, which reflects the emotions that you repress. If you dream of a snake in a box, it implies that you refuse to acknowledge a part of your subconscious 😕. The dream snake can alert you or transmit some kind of hidden message from your unconscious.

Snakes will appear in your dreams as long as you do not control your emotions. They represent the things that cause you stress, sadness or anger 😡.

E) Snake and Erotic Dreams

According to the theory of the famous psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (which we will discuss in more detail later), the snake is a phallic symbol representing the male sex 🍌. For Freud, snake dreams are closely related to your unconscious sexual desires.

Freud claimed that the snake in dreams represents your sexual drive. Especially if you dream of a snake in an environment conducive to carnal embraces like your bedroom, and it seems to crawl on you or want to bite your neck or back. A snake that bites you in such a situation, is a call to realize your desires 💕. In this case, this vision of a snake can sometimes be accompanied by a dream of a spider which symbolizes anal fantasy.

If you are a woman, it represents your libido, and a person you find very attractive in waking life 😍. This interpretation of the snake dream is associated with your love life, and the male figures that attract you in your most secret dreams.


If you are a man, this shows that you have sexual desires. The snake symbolizes a penis, which means that your snake dream is associated with your sex life. Maybe it represents the way you live your own virility. You may have difficulty expressing your sexuality 🤫, satisfying your sexual needs, or suffering from impotence preventing you from reaching orgasm.

Finally, more bizarre but no less symbolic: dreaming of sleeping with a snake indicates that you are thirsty for sexual gratification.

F) Dreaming of a Snake indicates Knowledge and Wisdom

In some Native American or Asian cultures, snakes represent wisdom. Dreaming of a snake could mean that there is knowledge you are looking for, or answers you are trying to find 🤔.

G) The Snake, Symbol of Healing

In some cultures, the snake is considered a symbol of healing. After all, venomous snakes are the key to the antidote to their own venom, and snake venom is used in the manufacture of many medicines 💊. In addition, the symbol of many medical professions is a caduceus with one or more snakes 🐍. Thus, snakes indicate recovery or protection against certain diseases

If you want to learn more about Snake Venom, we invite you to read the detailed article that we have already written on the subject 😉!

Just like with transformation, snakes represent healing because they shed their skin. They leave behind something old and dirty, to transform into something new and pure 🌟. A bit like your body eliminating an illness.

Dreaming of snakes can mean that you or someone around you will soon recover from an illness (physical or psychological), which has been eating away at you for a long time 😀.

 

H) Fighting and the Snake

Snakes can be fierce when defending their territory, or fighting when threatened 👊. Seeing a snake in a dream can mean that you have to fight for what you want, otherwise you risk losing what you have. Your dream can then remind you that you have to continue to fight against your problems without losing hope.

 

4) Dreams of Aggressive, Malicious, or Morbid Snakes

• Dreaming of a snake chasing you

• Dreaming of a snake attacking you

• Dreaming of fighting with a snake

• Dreaming of a snake biting you

• Dreaming of a snake being killed

• Dreaming of a dead snake

• Dreaming of a poisonous snake

• Dreaming of a snake eating a human

• Falling into a snake pit in a dream

 

A) Dreaming of a Snake Chasing You

When you dream of being chased by a snake, you are probably feeling fear and panic. This means that there is something or someone in your waking life that you are trying to avoid or run away from 🏃‍♂️. For example, you are avoiding an unpleasant situation, and your unconscious mind expects you to confront it. Maybe you're also avoiding a task at work, a necessary medical visit, or something else that needs to be done.

Dreaming of being chased by a snake can also mean that you want to say what you think, but you're holding back so as not to hurt anyone. For example, you're planning to break up with your partner, and you're worried about their reaction 😟.

dreaming of being chased by a snake
This dream may also occur because you feel trapped in a situation that you're experiencing right now, and from which you don't see a way out 😩.

If the snake bites you while chasing you, it means that you need to pay immediate attention to the thing or person you're ignoring on purpose; otherwise you'll be in trouble soon ⚠️.

If on the other hand it is you who is chasing the snake, it means that there is someone or something that is ignoring you, and that you want to attract attention 🙋. It can be a person or an immaterial thing like success, wealth or love.

B) Dream of Attacking Snake

If a snake attacked you in your dream or attacked someone else, it can suggest that your current mental state is fragile. This dream apparition can also symbolize the fact that you feel anxious and stressed at the moment 😓.

If the snake tries to attack you, your response determines the meaning of the dream and your ability to meet challenges: flight or fight. If your dream is to see a snake attacking another person, it means that a friend is going to hurt you 💔.

Seeing several snakes attacking you in a dream means that you should pay more attention to a situation that can harm you in the near future ⏰. You may be entering a dangerous relationship with someone you love, but at the same time you know that you should focus more on yourself at this time.

This dream is also a symbol of spiritual revitalization. It predicts that after this bite, this "electroshock" 🌩️ (which surely echoes a significant moment that you have just experienced), you will become a much stronger person and ready to face all the difficulties of life.

 

C) Dreams About Fighting with a Snake

Fighting with a snake in a dream (a lucid dream for example) means that you are resisting a change or a situation 🛡️. It could be something that you don’t want to happen, or that has already happened, but that you are trying to ignore.

If the snake is fighting you, then the influences that you are subject to in your life, are going to take over. But these influences are positive.

If you hit the snake 🤜🐍, you will probably be able to defeat enemies who intend to harm you.

If you hurt or get rid of all the snakes in your dream, it is an indication of your ability to face all the hostile people that you will encounter in the future.

D) Dreaming of a snake biting you

Generally speaking, a snake bite is a symbol that something in your life is about to change radically 😮.

Snake Bite in Dream
If you dream of a snake biting you, it means that you have doubts in a situation in your waking life. The snake bite is a representation of the anxieties you suffer from 😧. Something from your past or present is bothering you, and you are consciously or unconsciously ignoring it.

It can also represent the fact that you feel paralyzed or trapped in your current situation. Maybe there is something you want to do, but you can't find the solution or the courage to do it. This difficult situation that is bothering you can harm you if you don't act quickly. If you can feel a burning sensation 🔥 in the place where you were bitten in a dream after waking up, it means that the problem is serious.

dream of snake bite
Seeing a Snake Biting Someone in a Dream
To some extent, seeing a snake biting someone else is a reminder of the difficulties of your past. It is time to leave your past behind and move forward into your future ➡️. Seeing other people bitten by snakes in a dream also indicates that you cannot fix the mistakes of others.

Work on your self-confidence, and rebuild your life ⚒️. But you can very well do this while being proud of your scars left by the problems of the past. Moreover, finding yourself with a snake bite mark on your body or seeing bite scars in a dream, can remind you that you should not lose focus in your daily tasks.

Dreaming of being Bitten by a Snake on the Left Hand
If a snake bit you on your left hand, it represents weakness in your life. You feel vulnerable or weak in the presence of someone, and you want to overcome the fear that this person will hurt you 💔.

You also fear making a bad choice and you worry about your mental health. Try to overcome your fears by facing them 💪. Focus on becoming an independent person in life. Once you do, you will no longer be afraid of being hurt or betrayed. You will feel confident enough to continue living your life, even if it happens.

Snake Bite on the Right Hand in a Dream
If you dreamed of a snake bite on your right hand, it indicates that you will have a negative experience in the near future. You will not be able to avoid it, but you will overcome it thanks to your strength 👍.

The snake bite on the right hand symbolizes how you view your goals in life. After all, the right hand represents our life according to Palmistry (the art of reading the palm of the hand)! If the snake bite was deep on the right hand, it may indicate a hidden behavior 👀. It can be yours, or that of other people. 

Dreaming of a Snake Biting Legs and Feet

If you have been bitten by a snake on your legs, it may indicate that you need to take a moment to think about your life as a whole.
If you dream of a snake biting your feet, then your unconscious is predicting a major, but positive, transformation ✅. Your feet represent balance, and having your foot bitten can be a harbinger of changes to come.

Snake Bite and Toxic Person
Dreaming of a snake bite or bites can also be a sign that a toxic person around you is trying to hurt you or set a trap for you ⚠️. Having such a dream means that your unconscious is trying to get you to take action.

Overall, such a dream expresses that you are in a threatening situation, or that you are going to find yourself in such a situation ☹️. Your motivation should therefore be to get out of this situation as quickly as possible, otherwise you could fall into someone's trap.

snake bite in a dream
On the other hand, if the snake bites you and the bite is not fatal, then the dream relates to the benevolent models that inspire you in your life. If the bite was fatal, then you have an enemy around you at the moment 👺.

In many cultures, during Antiquity it was believed that wearing jewelry in the image of snake gods could help protect against the bites of these animals, or even cure them 💊. To see... What is certain, however, is that wearing a Snake Necklace around your neck is very symbolic, because the pendant rests close to your heart and therefore signifies what you are deep inside.

E) Dreaming of a Snake That You Kill

Killing a snake in a dream is positive. This means that you have the ability to overcome your fears, overcome challenges and move forward on a smoother and less difficult path. Killing a snake in a dream means that you will soon have an excellent opportunity to progress compared to others 😁. It is a positive dream because it predicts that you will overcome all the obstacles that stand in your way.

If you feel satisfaction after killing the snake, then there is something in your waking life that you need to overcome in order to feel fulfilled 🤔. If you feel guilty, there may be a dilemma that you want to get rid of and that is not easy to resolve. Generally speaking, killing a snake in your dream represents a fight that you must face in your waking life.

dreaming of a snake that is killed
If you killed a snake in your dream, it can also predict that you will succeed in avoiding danger. For example, by ending a relationship with a toxic person who has brought you more harm than good ❌, before they become too dangerous for you.

In some traditions and cultures, having a dream where you kill a snake is a symbol of marriage. Having such a vision can therefore be a sign that you will soon get married, or even indicate the marriage of someone close to you 👰.

If you kill two or more snakes in your vision, it indicates that you are in danger and that enemies want to harm you 👹. Make sure you are not deceived by someone you trust.

 

F) Dream of a Dead Snake

The Dream of a Dead Snake
Contrary to what one might think, dead snakes are positive in dreams. Seeing a dead snake 💀 without having killed it before symbolizes the end of deception, temptation or fear. It is a sign that there will be change or new beginnings very soon in your life. This vision means that everything that this snake represents for you in real life will end. You just have to discover what this animal represents for you!

Having this dream vision means that the evil that is currently acting in your life, will disappear and give way to an ocean of positivity. All the things that you fear will gradually take an opposite turn, and will start to improve 👌.

So if you dreamed of dead snakes, it is a sign that everything will be fine, don't worry 😉.

Dead Snake in Dream: Variants
If you find the dead snake cut in two in your dream, it is an indication that you need to make an effort to better adapt to social situations.

If you are a woman 👱‍♀️ and you dream of a dead snake biting you, it warns you that you will suffer some kind of defeat in a situation involving a friend. This dream usually predicts evil in different forms and stages. For a man, it is a warning that you should not waste your time on futile things and situations.

If the snake is simply injured 🩸, it is usually a warning about troubles and difficult times ahead.

Toxic Relationship and Snake Dream
Seeing a poisonous snake is a warning sign that there may be a dangerous person in your life, or that you yourself are that person. Dreaming of such a snake is a sign that you should pay attention to the toxic behavior ☠️ of the men around you, or check your own behavior.

If you dream of poisonous snakes, it can also mean that you are in a "poisonous" relationship. You think that a person you love improves your life, but in fact it is the opposite ❌. Try to think who they could be, and identify this person as soon as possible. Then, keep your distance until you analyze and understand the relationship you have.

dream of poisonous snake
Dreaming of a Snake Spitting Venom
A snake that spits its venom on you means that something has a negative influence in your life, and makes you negative even when this thing is not close. Such a dream can warn you that you are surrounded by people who are harmful to you, who always have negative thoughts 😒. Such a state of mind is a brake on your spiritual growth.

Thus, your dream can symbolize the fact that you must leave this negative group as soon as possible, otherwise you risk doing something harmful to you, because of the negative influence that these people have on you. So join a group of positive people, it will change your life! 😄

H) Dreaming of a Snake Eating a Human

If you are swallowed by a snake in one of your dreams, it means that you must think about the reasons that make you think negatively. Become aware of the real world around you, and that your life is also made of happiness and love 😻. Be content with the simple things, and be happy to breathe every day.

If the snake surrounds your body, then this dream is a direct interpretation of the trap that can represent a too suffocating love story.

Being swallowed or eaten by a snake in a dream, it can also mean that you have upset too many people around you at the moment, and that it is time for you to take some distance for a while 😕.
dreaming of a snake eating a human

Falling into a snake pit in a dream is a warning. The snake pit itself represents all the worries you have in life. As snakes can symbolize difficult times, this dream can be linked to the way you are perceived by others 👀. Are you satisfied with the way your work is judged? Falling into a pit filled with snakes indicates that you should review your approach to your relationships at work.

 

When you dream of snakes, what does it mean?

5) When you Dream of a Particular Snake

The type of snake you saw in your dream says a lot about the meaning of it. Each snake symbolizes a different thing. That's why it is important to try to identify the snake in your vision if you can 🔍.

• Dreaming of a particular species of snake

• Dreaming of a colored snake

• Dreaming of a snake with particular physical characteristics

A) Meaning when you Dream of a Particular Species of Snake

Dream of a Viper
Dreaming of a viper indicates that forces threaten you in your professional life. If you dream that this snake attacks you, it means that your enemies will surround you to find your weak points 🗡️, and they will try to ruin you.

If the snake in your dream is a viper, then it refers to a friend or relative with whom you will encounter problems (most often money 💶). More generally, a viper in your dream means that your loved ones are betraying you. This could be your life partner, business partner, etc.

Such a dream symbolizes the fact that a dishonest person is in your close circle. So you should make every decision very carefully, and not trust blindly. So, if you have a business that is currently run by a friend 🤝, it could mean that he is betraying you in some way, for example by withdrawing money from business, etc.

Asp Dream

Asp is the modern anglicization of the word "Aspis" which referred to one of the many species of venomous snakes of the Nile region 🌴, during ancient times. Seeing an Asp in a dream is a negative dream for a woman. It indicates that she has enemies who want to harm her. For a man, it indicates that he will overcome all difficult problems.

Cleopatra tested a wide range of deadly poisons on convicts, and animals for her entertainment 😓. She concluded that the bite of the Asp was the least terrible way to die. Therefore, in terms of dreams, it is important to understand that bad times are not so bad when we look at existence as a whole.

Boa Dream
Dreaming of a boa constrictor is usually a sign that stormy periods will be part of your life in the near future. A boa constrictor suffocates its prey and kills it. Seeing a boa in your dream means that you are stuck in a situation where you have very few choices to get out of it 😟. This situation could be a relationship, your career, etc. If this boa is suffocating you, then the situation in your waking life may be more serious than you want to admit.

Killing a Boa Constrictor means that you are getting out of this "stuck zone" and that your life situation is improving. If you kill this type of snake in your dream, then it is a positive dream that indicates that you can overcome all the difficulties you face, and that you have a strong character 😎.

This vision can also represent your ambition or your desire to dominate someone, and to defeat them by inflicting unbearable pressure on them.

Seeing a boa constrictor in a dream also often means that you feel repressed. You are suffocating, probably as a result of a romantic ❤️ or sexual relationship.

Dream About Rattlesnake
A rattlesnake is a highly venomous snake that shakes its tail to give a warning. Seeing a rattlesnake ringing in a dream means that a major threat is looming over your life, and your dream serves as a warning to prepare you for the unknown ⚠️.

If this snake bites you in the dream, it means that a great threat has come and that your life situation is going to be worse than before.

Dream About Python
Visualizing a python in your dream symbolizes your sexual desires because this particular snake is related to a phallic symbol. If you have sex with a python in a dream, then it represents the person you are sexually attracted to 😍.

If you see a python crawling on your body, then it represents your wild sexual desires that are not yet fulfilled, or are becoming uncontrollable.

Wild or Domestic Snake Dream
Dreaming of a wild snake symbolizes that something in your life is getting out of control. This snake can then represent your health, your life as a couple 👫, etc.

Seeing a domestic snake means that you are regaining control of your life by overcoming difficult times, and that a positive transformation is taking place 👍. The fact that the snake is domesticated indicates that you have been able to maneuver yourself in difficult situations, and overcome any obstacles in your path. Keep it up!

If you see someone trying to hurt your pet 🩸, it may mean that this person is trying to disrupt your transformation.

Cobra Snake Dream
The presence of a cobra snake in your dream indicates that it is important to harness your deep energies. You may also feel bitterness, caused by problems in your life 😟.

Seeing a cobra in your dream is often considered a representation of your own personality. In order to make it as easy as possible to interpret this type of dream, it is important to understand the environment around you 🤔, as well as your real feeling at the moment you saw the snake.

As you have read, the vast majority of snake dreams are positive. Do you want to influence your subconscious to have more premonitory dreams of this kind? Then take a look at our magnificent Snake Paintings printed in HD!

B) Dreaming of a Colored Snake

Dreaming of a White Snake
Dreaming of a white snake has an even more special meaning than seeing other types of snakes in a dream. White is the symbol of purity ✨, good feelings, good intentions and a pure heart. Dreaming of a white snake means that a new beginning could happen for you. White snakes have a positive meaning in a dream and could refer to the purest side of your soul.

Dreaming of Green Snake
Green snakes in a dream represent hope, and your connection with your soul. It is a sign that you have experienced inner conflicts, but you will soon resolve them by yourself 😊. Always seek peace within yourself, not in someone else.

From a spiritual point of view, green is linked to rooting in life. So you need to review the way you focus on your own spiritual development 💭, if such a snake appears to you in a dream.

C) Meaning when you Dream of a Snake with Particular Physical Characteristics

Dreaming of a Coiling Snake
The Greeks believed that the coiling snake symbolized healing. This comes from the Rod of Asclepius, which is a symbol of the medical world ⚕️. So the interpretation of this dream is quite obvious! If you see entangled snakes, it means that you need to take care of your health. Try to watch your diet and eat better.

Dreaming of a Two-Headed Snake
Although it is very rare to come across a two-headed snake in waking life (1 in 10,000 snakes has this physical peculiarity), it is not the same in dreams where it is very common. Dreaming of a two-headed snake represents repressed fears and complications in the dreamer's waking life 💤.

Seeing a two-headed snake means that you are torn between two different directions, or that your actions and ideas are counterproductive. It is a sign that you need to reexamine your problems 🧐 and make firmer and safer decisions, in order to move forward.

If you kill a two-headed snake or more in your dream, it means that you are ready for all the challenges to come. But if this snake was chasing you, it means that you are not ready for something worse than the current situation to happen 😰. Indeed, dreaming of a two-headed snake can represent that the threat hanging over you will double in importance, and what you already thought was terrible will become twice as bad as before.

dreaming of a two-headed snake
In Greek and Roman mythology, the two-headed snake is normally linked to demonic entities 😈 (the Lernaean Hydra killed by Hercules). Dreaming of a two-headed snake therefore has a mysterious meaning, which is associated with your safety. This dream indicates the danger and multiple threats that hang over you (like the multiple heads of the Hydra, which grow back once cut off).

Dreaming of a two-headed snake can also mean that you will encounter a difficulty or conflict with a person you once cared about. Maybe you hurt this person and now they are planning some kind of revenge 😮. If you know who this person is, it is best to solve the problem before it gets complicated. Communication is the solution.

Dream About Big Snake
Dreaming about a big snake can symbolize intrigues and danger lurking around you, but can also predict recovery or the acquisition of new knowledge. Such dream visions often indicate cunning, evil or fall 🍂.

Seeing a big black snake in a dream symbolizes an important lesson that is intended for you 📚. How you will remember this lesson in your waking life will have an impact on future events. This dream encourages you to carry out your life mission. But to do this you will first have to face your own phobias, and overcome "obstacles" present inside you.

Dreaming of Small Snake
In a dream, small snakes represent opportunities for success 🥇. This dream tells you to stay vigilant in your waking life because you could well come across such an opportunity very soon, whether in your professional or romantic life.

 

Is it good or bad to see snakes in dreams?

6) Dreaming of Many Snakes

 

• Being surrounded by snakes in a dream

• Snakes around you and false friends

• Dream of Snake and energy

A) Being Surrounded by Snakes in a Dream
Being surrounded by snakes, coming across snakes or having snakes fall on you in your dream, often indicates your own anxieties in life. If you are surrounded by snakes 🐍, this indicates that in your waking life you are faced with a significant number of possibilities to move your life forward. The fact that you dream of so many snakes indicates that even if you have so many possibilities for change in front of you, you are still worried about the future.

B) Dreaming of Snakes Around You Represents False Friends
This dream can also be worrying: the snakes that surround you in your dream can represent false friends. Having such a dream can mean that some people around you are not themselves ⛔. You are among people who do not deserve your trust and friendship, and you know it deep down.

C) Dream of Snake and Energy
Seeing a large number of snakes in your dream is also a sign of energetic abundance. Inside you is an overflowing fountain of energy that you do not draw from. It can be sexual energy or wisdom 🧙. If you feel frightened by the many snakes around you, then this dream is a sign that something in your waking life is overwhelming you. It can be an emotion, positive or negative energy, a task to be accomplished, a situation in which you lose control, etc.

All these snakes do not look comfortable ... But do you know where you can find a whole bunch of adorable snakes? In our collection of Snake Plush Toys! 😍

7) Dreaming of Snakes in a Special Situation

• Snake in a Special Situation

• Dreaming of a Snake When You Are Pregnant

A) When You Dream of a Snake in a Special Situation

If you see a snake in your dream, but it didn't see you, it's a message that your subconscious is trying to get across to you. You may be the deceitful or deceitful type in your waking life 🤥, and your subconscious wants to encourage you to treat people the way you would like to be treated.

If your dream featured a snake charmer 🎶, or someone who controls a snake in some way; this indicates that there will likely be gossip about you in the future.

If a salesman tries to get you to buy a snake or snake oil in a dream, then it means that you are about to be scammed. For example, someone around you is selling or promoting a fraudulent medical cure 💉❌, and you are ready to fall for it. Unfortunately, maybe you have already fallen for it. Or there may be someone in your waking life who is trying to sell you a get-rich-quick scheme, when it is all lies.

Seeing an angry snake in your dream means that someone in your life is extremely angry with you, and could even hurt you 😤. You can try to find out who is angry with you in your waking life because the snake represents this person. Observe and analyze the behavior of the snake in your vision, and compare it with that of all the people around you.

If you see snakes transforming into different animals or objects, this dream symbolizes that you are likely to overcome all the difficulties that will come your way 👌.

 

B) Dreaming of Snakes When Pregnant

Seeing a snake in your dreams while pregnant is a sign of good luck. It means that you will have a healthy, trouble-free pregnancy 🤰. The color of the snake can also represent a number of different meanings:

If you see a black snake while pregnant, then you are going to have a baby boy.
A white snake means that you are carrying a baby girl.
A red snake means good luck, or that someone close to you is going to get married or engaged
A green snake represents health and fertility.

 

If you see a baby snake in your dream, it is a direct indication of the light that your child will bring into your life ☀️.

Dreaming of playing with a snake, or seeing children doing so; indicates that you will be able to distinguish good people from bad people in the future.

8) Dreaming of Harmless Snake

• Dreaming of eating snakes

• Dreaming of talking with a snake

• Dreaming of a snake running away

• Dreaming of a snake coming out of the body

• Dreaming of touching a snake

A) Dreaming of Eating Snakes

If you have a dream in which you ate a snake 🍽️, it means that you feel generally satisfied and happy in your life.

But this dream also symbolizes a sexual desire that you feel, for someone you cannot have 🚫 (husband of a friend, boss, relative, etc.). You are not satisfied with your sex life and you would like to satisfy your fantasies with this person.

So eating a snake is related to how you feel inside. It can also symbolize your desire for sexual satisfaction, if you (or your partner) suffer from impotence 😞. For example, eating snakes on a plate can indicate that you want a new sexual partner.

B) Dreaming of Talking to a Snake

If a snake speaks to you in your dream, it means that your unconscious wants to transmit a message to you directly. Hearing a snake speak to you in a dream can mean that you did not understand the meaning of the previous snake dream 🤔, and that is why you hear the meaning this time. It may seem strange to see a snake speaking to you, but you must listen to it very carefully because it wants you to grow spiritually.

Since the snake is a wild animal, it is often associated with dangerous situations when seen in dreams. There are negative forces coming from your subconscious 🧠, and these forces can threaten your inner peace. This dream where a snake speaks to you, is a direct incentive to try to face your anxieties. If the snake has spoken words in your dream, then it is your instinctive wisdom. Your mind is trying to make you understand to stop and think, before rushing into dangerous situations.

Similarly, if a snake speaks to you in a dream, it means that you need to find the purpose of your life. And if you already know your purpose 🎯, then such a dream can mean that you need to remember it, because you are drifting on another path.

The message that you can interpret with this dream, is therefore that you must recognize that negative energies emanate from your unconscious; and that it is time to clarify things in order to continue your life in peace 👍.

C) Dreaming of a Snake Running Away

If you see a snake running away from you in your dream, then this animal represents your enemy or competitor in waking life who is trying to hurt you in one way or another, but who is not succeeding 🤨. So you can try to find out who the snake represented, in order to be even more wary of it because it could attack you again soon.

This dream, however, means that you are stronger than your enemy, and that you can easily defeat him without any extra effort.

But if the snake managed to hurt you and then started to run away 💨, then it represents a weak enemy who is waiting for the perfect opportunity to attack you. This may mean that you need to be extra careful before giving your trust.

D) Dreaming of a Snake Coming Out of Your Body
Snakes coming out of your mouth in a dream mean that you have gotten rid of all the harmful thoughts you had towards certain people. It can also mean that you have gotten rid of everything that harms your body 😁 (junk food, medications, etc.). This dream can be seen as a process of cleaning up all the harmful attitudes stored in your mind.

E) Dreaming of Touching a Snake

Feeding or playing with a snake in a dream means that you have worked hard, and it is time to refresh your mind by taking a little rest 😴.

Standing close to a snake, catching it or handling it in a dream indicates that you need to devise a strategy to overcome an obstacle 😎. Dreaming of handling a snake is also a sign that someone is trying to deceive you in your waking life.

Walking peacefully on snakes in a dream means that you will soon be able to change your outlook on things, and your destiny. It can also mean that universal justice (also called Karma 😇) is going to take its course, and that you will soon realize it, for better or for worse.

If you push aside or avoid a snake, or let it pass; this dream then indicates that your efforts will help you overcome any obstacle that may stand in your way 🧗.

Dreaming of a snake on yourself, crawling on your chest or very close to you; symbolizes that someone around you will try to betray you, and therefore that this person is untrustworthy. It is a warning to warn you that you are taking care of the wrong person. To guess who this person is, try to remember the color and behavior of the snake 💭. And then try to compare this with the people in your close circle.

If you dream that the snake is wrapping itself around you or a person, it means that you will probably be in a position of power in the future 👑. But this position will be taken away from you very quickly.

• Dreaming of a snake on the ground

• Dreaming of a snake in the grass

• Dreaming of a snake in a tree

• Dreaming of a snake in a car

• Dreaming of a snake flying

• Dreaming of a snake in the water

A) Dreaming of a Snake in a House

If you dream of a snake inside your house, you must first think about what your house could represent. Of course, it can simply represent your home, but it can also symbolize your family, your responsibilities, your finances or the most intimate aspects of your mind. Dreaming of a snake in your house 🏡 can mean one of the following:

You have a problem in your family. You may be arguing with one of your children, or you may suspect your spouse of being unfaithful.
If you don’t live with your family, the snake may represent your bad feelings toward a roommate or landlord.
You have financial problems.
You are trying to move, or you are unhappy in your current home.

 

B) Dream of Buried Snake

If you see snakes coming out of rocks or the ground, it means that you have an abundance of hidden energy within you, which is being released into your body at this time 😄. This can represent different energies at work: wisdom, sexual energy, and the fact that your body is healing and transforming.

C) Dream of Snake on the Ground

If the snake you saw in your dream is on the ground or on a carpet, it shows that the bitterness and emptiness you are currently feeling will soon pass 🙂. Because the snake lives on the ground, it could also represent the fact that you need to meditate in order to better connect with yourself, and better ground yourself in life.

D) Dreaming of a Snake in the Grass

If you see a snake in the grass 🌿 or in the sand, then this dream is related to a particular person or situation that is likely to harm you in waking life.

Such a dream symbolizes the fact that someone in your personal or professional life is trying to be your friend or partner, but that they intend to deceive you. It is therefore a warning that warns you not to trust this person, and never to tell them too personal things or useful and/or secret information. Again, try to identify who this person symbolized by the snake is, by analyzing their behavior 🔎.

But dreaming of a snake in the grass can also mean that you are going to hear news that will upset you. This news will bring you frustration, regret and depression 😔.

E) Dreaming of a Snake in a Tree

If the snake in your dream was climbing the tree 🌳, it means that you will get a lot of money or knowledge in the near future. But if this snake was coming down from the tree, then it means that you will suffer a loss of money very soon.

F) Dreaming of a Snake in a Car

Having had a dream of a snake getting into your car 🚗 means that someone or something in your life is trying to disturb your peace and happiness. The dream of a snake coming out of your car symbolizes that no one is trying to trouble you anymore.

G) Dreaming of a Flying Snake

Seeing a snake flying or floating in the air ☁️, is an indication that a conspiracy is at work in your circle of acquaintances. This set-up involves you in some way, but you are not necessarily the person targeted.

dream of flying snake
Such a dream also symbolizes someone who is trying to be extremely brave in their life, and that it is important that you congratulate this person for overcoming their fears and anxieties 👏.

H) Dream of Snake in Water

Dream of Snake in Water
Dreaming of a snake in water symbolizes your emotions. Having this dream is sometimes a distressing experience, because most of us have no control when we are underwater in our dream 💧, and everything seems to happen in slow motion.

In general, dreaming of a snake in water can symbolize your emotions and feelings that influence your life, without you caring or knowing it. Snakes in water can also mean threats or your fears, as well as your potential for healing following an emotional shock 💔.
If the snake dragged you into the water, then it is likely that in your dream, as in reality, you stopped breathing for a short moment.


Generally, a snake in the dream is considered a warning signal associated with a potential threat, or as an alarm signal 🔔 associated with powerful feelings and strong emotions.

Dreaming of Swimming with a Snake
The type of water and your reaction to the snake play a vital role in understanding your dream. If the water was muddy or dirty 💩, then it can represent emotions like confusion, nervousness, embarrassment, and more. But if the water was clean, then it can symbolize emotions like excitement, joy, happiness, etc.

If the snake was swimming peacefully with you in your dream, it means that you are handling your emotions positively, and with ease. On the other hand, if the snake was trying to drown you or if you were afraid of it 😱, it means that you are overwhelmed by your emotions and that they are the ones controlling you.

A) Dreaming of a Snake according to Sigmund Freud

Dream of a Snake and Emotional Passion

For Sigmund Freud (the founder of psychoanalysis), the dream of a snake is directly linked to certain aspects of emotional passion. He believed that the dreamer needs to reconcile with his own personality 🤗, put aside because of his overly invasive sexual desire.

If we look at Western History, the snake signifies evil (the snake in the Garden of Eden). And yet, Freud thought that this dream is a direct interpretation of an uncontrolled passion. If you see in your dream a corpse and a snake inside it 💀, this is directly associated with a passion or desire that has not been satisfied in your waking life.

The Freudian Snake: a Phallic Symbol
Sigmund Freud, interprets snakes in dreams as representing a phallic symbol, and therefore a male penis. For him, it is the sign of an erotic dream. A snake would symbolize a masculine energy linked to sexual desires 😘. These desires can be temptations, repressed thoughts, raw sexual energy or forbidden sexuality.

In particular, dreaming of a snake in bed suggests according to Freud that you feel sexually dominated or threatened. This may be due to the fact that you are inexperienced and nervous about sex. If you are afraid of the snake, it means that you are afraid of making love, intimacy or commitment 😰. And dreaming of eating a live snake indicates that you are looking for intimacy or sexual fulfillment. In this case, this dream tells you that your life lacks sensuality and passion, and that you are in emotional need.

According to Freud, your interaction with the snake during your dream is linked to your feelings about sex, or about sexual relations 🍆. And your interaction with the snake itself depends on your personal experience with snakes in your waking life: are you afraid of them? Do you have one as a pet? …

B) Dreaming of a Snake according to Carl Jung

The Jungian Snake: a Dream Archetype
Carl Jung (founder of analytical psychology) believed that there is a hidden area in our unconscious mind, which he calls an archetype 👨‍🎓. An archetype is a symbol that we see in a dream, and which can have various meanings. For example, for Jung, the snake is an archetype.

According to him, we all have the same archetypes that are found in our dreams. A kind of collective unconscious. Only, a given archetype will not have the same importance from one person to another, because it refers to our unconscious 🤔. This explains the popularity of dreams about snakes, but the different conclusions that can be drawn from them depending on the person.

Snake Dream and Jungian Meaning
The snake in a dream represents a danger. Jung thought that the presence of a wild animal in a dream means that the dreamer will acquire greater wisdom. It is therefore a sign that you should not take the shortest and easiest path to success 🔝, but the most difficult and longest.

Because the goal is not only the destination, but also the journey and the obstacles that we overcome on the road, and that make us grow 👶➡️👨. This dream therefore symbolizes experiences that you might find dangerous, but which are still useful in order to overcome future problems and obstacles. Carl Jung thus believed that snakes that appear in dreams are a representation of the end of a problem.

Dreaming of a Shedding Snake: Symbol of Healing
The snake in dreams is also linked to life force and healing, and this is because of the Rod of Asclepius, which is used today as a symbol representing the medical world (Caduceus ⚕️).

Carl Jung believed that since snakes have the ability to shed their skin and form a new one, they represent healing and transformation. As a snake grows from an old torn skin to a new one ✨, seeing this animal in a dream can therefore mean that you too are healing from a physical or psychological wound.

In Jungian theory, the fact that snakes shed their skin also represents the importance of change in your life, and the positive changes that await you in the near future 👍.

Snake Dream: Between Consciousness and Instinct
In his book (a manual of theoretical and practical interpretation of dreams), Carl Jung analyzes the famous snake dream in great detail. He agreed with Freud's theory that the snake itself could be interpreted as a phallic symbol, and all that follows 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨.

But for Jung, this dream featuring one or more snakes mainly shows the balance between the uncontrollable impulses (Evil) and the natural sexuality (Good) of the sleeper 🛌🏾. Which has led most people to mix the snake dream with things that are likely to influence the dreamer's sexual power.

But fundamentally, Jung believed that the snake itself rather represented our consciousness of life 🤯 (a reproduction of what we have experienced in waking life), and that it was connected to our inner energy and personality.

For him, dreams of snakes therefore personify a threatening aspect of the conflict between our conscious mind and our instincts.

11) Snake Dreams in Different Cultures

As said before, the meaning of a snake appearing in your dream can vary depending on your culture.

• Dream Dictionaries

• Chinese

• Ancient Cultures

• Egyptians

• Christians

• Greeks

• Aztecs

• Islam

• Hindus

In our modern Western society, if we watch cartoons, TV shows and even movies 📺, the snake often represents deception. In short, the snake is morally represented as the bad guy!

But let's not be self-centered, and let's open up to the world: different cultures and religions attribute very varied meanings to snakes 🐍. We will review the best known ones, because it is very likely that each culture has its own vision of this animal given that the Symbolism of the Snake is present throughout the world!

A) Dream Dictionaries

In the West in the 1930s, "dream books" and "dream dictionaries" 📖 appeared, which were used to analyze and understand dreams. Initially, the snake in a dream was mainly interpreted as the personification of a relationship problem.

According to these ancient grimoires, if in your dream vision you have a snake wrapped around your body, it can mean that you are trapped in a toxic relationship. This situation can lead to marital difficulties and divorce 💔. But even if it can be a negative situation, the feeling of happiness will eventually return. If in your dream you see a snake on top of a corpse, it represents the sexual act. But it can also symbolize the fact that you have control over your libido.

B) Chinese Interpretation of Snake Dream

In Chinese culture, the snake is linked to intelligence, mystery and manipulation. Unlike Islamic and Christian meanings, the snake does not have an evil connotation in Chinese culture ✅.

If you see a snake in your dream, the Chinese interpretation of it is associated with your personal growth, your inner strength and the acquisition of power in your waking life. The dream of a snake transforming into a dragon 🐲 also represents power and growth. It is a sign that you are growing spiritually, and that you are transforming yourself.

If you are attacked by a snake in your dream ⚔️, it is a sign of endurance and mental strength. Your dream reveals to you that you are ready to face unexpected challenges.

 

C) Interpretation of Snake Dreams in Ancient Cultures

Many ancient cultures that existed during antiquity considered the snake as a symbol of immortality because they believed that snakes reincarnate by changing their skin. These animals are also associated this symbol with the famous symbol of the Ouroboros, the snake that bites its tail. The spirals and circles symbolize eternity ⭕.

In many ancient cultures, the Ouroboros was represented as a god surrounding the world or the tree of life 🌳 like a belt, thus preventing it from flying apart. Snake dreams therefore had a very spiritual connotation at that time, signifying among other things the cycle of life, reincarnation, creation (including through the union of a man and a woman), or even wisdom.

D) Egyptian Interpretation of the Snake Dream

According to Egyptian myths, the world was created by an Ouroboros and its infinite movement. The god Ra and all creation were born from this mythological snake 😮.

In ancient Egypt, snakes were thought to have healing abilities and supernatural powers. We therefore find this symbolism in dreams where this animal appears. The Egyptians also believed that their gods manifested themselves through snakes. Thus dreams of snakes were interpreted by the Egyptians as premonitory dreams, omens, and messages sent by the gods 📩.

E) Christian Interpretation of the Snake Dream

The snake is perceived as the devil in Christian traditions 😈. And this because of its involvement in the original sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In most interpretations of the Bible, the snake in the garden represents sexual desire and the loss of man's purity 🍎.

The dream of a snake is therefore quite negative according to Christian and Jewish traditions. The snake represents first of all deception. But dreams of snakes can also be linked to sexual desire, especially to a desire for which you feel ashamed 😳.

If we turn to the Christian interpretation of the snake, it is considered a dark omen, bringing evil and worry ☹️. This interpretation is largely based on the fact that God created the snake to tempt Adam and Eve.

According to biblical belief, seeing a snake in a dream symbolizes Satan, temptation and forbidden knowledge. This can mean that a malicious person is close to you in your waking life, and that you may not know it 🤨.

F) Greek Interpretation of Snake Dream

In Greek mythology, snakes are respected creatures. They are associated with healing and the ancient myth of Aesculapius, whose domesticated snakes crawled over the bodies of the sick at night, and cured their ailments 🩹. This is why the Rod of Aesculapius is the symbol of medicine. The sick who saw this animal in a dream, interpreted it as a sign of hope.

 

G) Aztec Interpretation of the Snake Dream

The Aztec culture is one of the most mysterious cultures in the world. And as in many cultures, the primary gods of the Aztec culture were snakes 🐍. These animals are considered symbols of health, creation and vitality. The god-king Quetzalcóatl was himself often represented in the form of a snake. He was a benevolent god who brought knowledge and wisdom to his people.

Snakes played a very important role in Aztec culture. This can easily be seen from the statues representing this animal, which are very present on their buildings. Coatepec or "Snake Hill" was even considered a holy land 🙏, because it was supposed to be the birthplace of the god Huitzilopochtli.

In Aztec culture, people admired snakes and their power to kill with their venom, instead of being afraid of them and their presence. We can therefore deduce that dreams of snakes must have been quite well connoted in the Aztec empire ✅.

H) Dreaming of Snake: Islam

The Dream of Snake and its Meaning in Islam
In Islam and Hadith, the snake is considered a vicious creature and represents an unknown danger. If in a dream, you are chased by snakes, you get bitten by snakes, or you have snakes in your house; then something horrible in your life requires immediate attention from you ⚠️.

On the other hand, dreams of dominating or possessing a snake could mean personal power, or your ability to overcome difficult situations.

If the snake swallows you, then you will reach a powerful position in your life 👑. Killing a snake means that you will get married soon. If you control or kill the snake, then you are ready to face all the threats that come your way.

I) Snake Dream in Hindu Astrology

In Hinduism, seeing a snake in a dream is considered a good thing. The god Shiva wears a snake around his neck to symbolize that the dark forces are under his control 👌. Many Hindu meanings of the snake relate to this idea of ​​control.

Eating a snake in your dream means that you will be blessed with a child 👶, or material wealth.

If you catch or chase a snake, it means that you will have victory over your competitors and enemies. On the other hand, killing a snake 💀 is a sign of bad luck.

Your dream can also represent the awakening of the Kundalini, this positive energy that runs through your spine and that you must tame in order to elevate yourself spiritually 💭.

12) Snake Dream and Lottery Number

And finally, something more atypical! Did you know that there is a link between snake dreams and the lottery? 🤑

The link between a lottery number and a snake dream is spiritual. If you dream of a specific number of snakes, it means that you should play the lottery with this number, and try your luck 🤞.
