DREAM INTERPRETATION TOOLS Dream Academy - A guide to learning to interpret your dreams and visions. Snakes When we see a snake in a dream we must first determine if the snake is a symbolic snake or an actual snake and we often do this by the appearance of the snake. When a snake is a symbol for something other than a snake, the snake's appearance will be unusual and prominent in the dream. When the snake is a symbol the snake's appearance is muted. It's generally grey or some other drab color versus a dream where the snake's physical characteristics are prominent. Generally when the dream is about a real life snake, the snakes appearance will be the spotlight versus what the snake is doing in the dream. The exception to this is the size of the snake. The size of a snake in a dream can signify the size of the problem it is foretelling. When a snake in your dream is foretelling a future encounter with an actual snake it will normally look like a real snake in the dream. In addition, noting the snake will normally be all the dream amounts to. Snakes are almost always relating to upcoming trials, major problems, and/or demonic attacks. Use the following dreams to help understand your dream with regard to snakes The following is a dream in which a snake was a prophetic dream of a future encounter with a real snake: I had a dream of genuine snake. In the dream all I could remember was being scared of a snake with red, yellow and black stripes. The dream spotlighted the appearance of the snake and my fear of this snake. Alternately, when dreaming about a symbolic snake the physical appearance of the snake is muted. The snake will be a drab color or hardly even noticeable beyond the knowledge that it is a snake. The following dreams are examples of prophetic dreams of future real life situations in which a snake was a symbol for something other than an actual snake.

SNAKE HAVING TROUBLE SWALLOWING I saw a snake. I was trying to keep it away from me by swinging around some kind of long cloth. It grabbed a bird to eat but it couldn't eat it. It was having trouble eating it because of the wings laying out flat. So it got some kitchen sheers and cut off the wings to make it easier to swallow. I didn't see it do this obviously because snakes can't really use scissors. Fulfillment This dream preceded a trip to the emergency room because I swallowed a huge pill which became stuck in my throat - just like the bird in the dream which the snake couldn't swallow without help SNAKE IN MY GARDEN Then, I see two more snakes come into my garden and I chase them off (they are afraid of me). Fulfillment This dream came during I time when I was seriously ill with a stomach problem. I had been to the hospital twice and still didn't have a cure because the doctor's were clueless. The dream represented being healed. - I chased the snakes out of the garden meaning the sicknesses left my stomach. This dream was VERY GOOD news during a very stressful time. I had lost over 35 pounds and really couldn't afford to lose any more weight. DOG WITH A SNAKE I dreamed of my dog carrying two snakes in the house in his mouth. He put the snakes in bed with me. I did not move because I was afraid they would bite me. Fulfillment Within 4 months my 2 year old dog had died after 2 trips to the vet. I was afraid that whatever the disease the dog had might be communicable but it wasn't. SNAKES AT WORK I had a dream about 4 snakes in the rafters at my work. The were big, fat ugly snakes. Within 5 weeks I had four VERY serious problems at work. DREAM SUBMISSION FOR INTERPRETATION Hello, I had dream last night of a snake in my home. The dog was barking & the kids were trying to quiet it. I began this speech about the dog barking for a reason and we needed to determine the reason. At that moment, one of the boys held up a hand and as my eyes followed his arm, I noticed a snake stretched out over the doorway. I said sort of an I told you so & the snake fell onto the floor, I called a male neighbor, the snake crawled into a hole that I was not aware was in the wall while the was looking for something to use to kill the snake . He advised me to have my husband start a small fire and smoke the snake out of my home. What do you think? I am so afraid of snakes that this one shook me. P.S. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi P.S., Whenever I see a snake in my dreams it almost ALWAYS reflects a problem and not an actual snake. It also seems that whatever the snake is touching is the problem. Examples: I had a dream about 4 snakes in the rafters at my work: Within 5 weeks I had four VERY serious problems at work. I dreamed of my dog carrying two snakes in the house in his mouth: Within 4 months my 2 year old dog had died after 2 trips to the vet. I dreamed of chasing 2 snakes out of my garden: After two trips to the hospital for a very serious problem in my stomach GOD delivered me from the illness. Look at the symbolism in this dream. The snake is over your door. Would a snake be over your door in real life? Probably not. Also, your neighbor points out that your husband could fix the problem. It's something your husband can fix. Both might point to a problem in your house that needs fixing - literally. What needs smoking out that could be in your walls? Maybe it's bees. But whatever it is I would think it is in your house or something else but not a real snake. Hope it helps and keep us updated! Mia BACK TO TOP |
