If you want to fully interpret what the snake in your dream symbolizes then you have to dig a little deeper and analyze the different meanings stated below.

What does it Mean to Dream About Snakes

As I said earlier, snakes can represent different things to different peoples according to their life situation and their level of comfort with the snakes.

So if you are afraid of snakes in waking life, then your dream would mean different than a person who likes snakes in his/her waking life.

Before jumping into what you dream might mean, first we have to see the most common meanings associated with a snake dream.

Snake Biting its own tail which is known as Ouroboros is the symbol of eternity.

1. Phallic Symbol – Snakes Represent a Phallic Symbol which means they represent Sexuality. If you dream of a snake in your bedroom and they seem to crawl on you or want to bite on your neck or back then it can represent your sexual desires.

2. Healing and Transformation – Snakes or serpent represents healing and transformation as they shed their skin and leave behind something that hurts and is old(past) to transform into new. So if you see shredded skin then it definitely means that you are undergoing some transformation and soon you will transform into a new person.

3. Warning – Snake or serpent represents a warning signal just like rattlesnake rattles when someone comes close. It says that something terrible can happen in the near future. If you see a serpent in a dream who is just noticing you, but ain’t doing anything then it can represent a warning signal. Of course, a lot of other events can still symbolize warning and that you will know in the later section.

4. Fear – Snakes represent Fear as they are dangerous and bite without warning which makes them unpredictable. It means that something terrible and unpredictable is going to happen in your or somebody else’s life, depending on your dream.

5. Poison and Medicine – Snake Represent Poison and Medicine as they are venomous and their bite can be dangerous; on the other hand, their venom is used to make medicine. So either it means that you are surrounded by poisonous people in your waking life or you(or somebody) will soon recover from a disease that was surrounding you from a long time.

6. Kundalini – Snakes or serpent represents the awakening of Kundalini, the energy that coils up from the base of the spine to the crown of your head and then beyond which means that you are Spiritually growing.

7. GuardianShip – Snake or serpent represents Guardianship as they defend their ground and fight when threatened. Your dream can be saying that you must fight for what you want, otherwise you may lose what you have, but as I said it wholly depends on your dream.

Seeing a snake in your dream can be scary as they feel authentic. If in your dream they try to crawl over you then their skin feels so real that one can not distinguish between dream and reality.

But how can you do that?

We will first start with some of the General Interpretation meanings that will help you solve a part of this mystery.

General Meaning of Dreams About Snakes

If you feel fear from the snake, then it symbolizes that there is something in your life you fear and don’t want to face. If the snake you fear begins running away from you then it means the thing you fear is only in your mind, and will never materialize. In simple words, stop fearing as nothing will happen.

But if the feeling was normal or neutral, then it means you are facing your fear without any problems and are healing. You are more interested in facing your problems than trying to ignore it. It can also represent that you already know what problems your dream is pointing to.

Your dream then can be a reminder that you need to keep on fighting your problem without losing hope.

Being Chased by Snakes means you are ignoring someone or something that requires your attention. It can be your friend, family, work, or any other essential work that you have to complete but are neglecting. If the serpent bite you while chasing then it means you need to give immediate attention or you can get in some trouble soon.

If you were chasing the snake, then that means there is someone or something that is ignoring you whose attention you want.

Dreaming about a wild snake symbolizes something in your life is getting out of control, it can be your health, marriage life, etc.

A Pet snake signifies that everything is getting in control and positive transformation is taking place. If you see someone trying to hurt you pet then it can represent that somebody is trying to disturb your transformation.

Fighting with a snake represents that you are resisting a change or situation. It can be something you don’t want to happen, or that has already happened, but you are trying to ignore.

Dreaming of a Snake biting you means that you are in a challenging situation that is bothering you and can harm you if you didn’t took action soon. If you can feel the burning sensation of the bite after you wake up then it means that the problem is big.

Overall, such a dream means that either you are in some threatening situation or you will get into one, but your motive should be to get out of it asap, otherwise, you might fall in someone’s trap.

A Snake spitting its venom on you means that something is having a negative influence in your life that makes you negative even when that thing is not close. Such a dream can represent that you are surrounded by negative peoples who always have negative thoughts and such a mindset is not letting you grow.

So you dream can symbolize that you need to leave that negative group asap, otherwise you may do something in the negative influence that put you in some trouble afterward. So join a good group of positive peoples.

Snakes going into the rocks or land means that a lot of hidden energy is being collected in your body which can also mean that your body is in the process of healing and transformation.
