Serpents symbolize threats and challenging situations, but also the emergence of new insights and transformation.

What does dreaming of a black snake mean?
Here are several meanings to help interpret your dream.
Dream Meaning #1: Black snakes represent emotional darkness
Dreaming of that animal dressed in black denotes the quality of your mood in your waking life. The appearance of a black snake suggests that you are experiencing deep changes in your life and are involved, consciously or not, in a grieving process as you are leaving the past or old ideas behind. These changes may come with feelings of sadness, loss, depression.
Dream Meaning #2: Transformation and important life changes
Black snakes in dreams are associated with the power of deep transformations that rise up from the unconscious as symbolized by the darkness. This animal may indicate that you are facing a lot of unknowns in your life, whether it’s in a new relationship or taking on new responsibilities at work.
Dreaming of a dark snake is likely a call to grow, transform, as you move from the unconscious and unknown to more awareness about yourself and what matters in your life.
Dreaming Meaning #3: Symbolic representation of the unconscious
This black animal can also be a symbol of rejected aspects of the personality of the dreamer. The dream points to a dimension of yourself that has been avoided and need to be exposed and dealt with.
The black snake suggests that you are dealing with unconscious drives and hidden desires that are disguised as temptations. Dreaming of a black snake is then a call to discover what is driving you and get in touch with deep longings that you may have ignored until now.
Dream Meaning #4: Black snakes as representation of threat
If a black snake shows up in your dream, you may be facing a situation in your daily life that is perceived as a threat. It may be very challenging and you’re avoiding it. The presence of the black snake points to the fact that you may be unaware of a threatening situation.

Wake up this morning feeling like there’s a drum in my chest. I don’t know if its the first time but it’s seems like it’s real. In my dream, there’s a huge black snake in my face. I was lying in a forest ground(i don’t know why) sleeping and pushing my head in my pillow and then when I open my eyes I saw dark or black. I realized it was a snake when I see its head crawling in my face. I think its huge because its head occupies half of my face, i was nervous but did’t move and I realized that someone knows whats going on because he hold my hand and somehow sending me a message not to move. My left hand is near my head and I felt like its tounge sliced twiced somewhere in the pulse part of my left hand and it hurts…
Two small black snakes were going to attack two babies sitting on the ground when suddenly two very large white snakes with stripes came out from behind the babies and devoured the black snakes.
A single black snack in my dream was a friend. Something I was watching over and felt was a companion. I had a strong sense of being concerned for the snake and it seemed the snake was the same towards me. Oddly enough, the setting of my dream was a job I was working. It was a marijuana plantation, only large oak style trees. My job was to trim and clean up the plants, but somehow I was able to do my job behind a desk with photo editing software. The snake had a bed beside my desk and it was a comfort knowing he was there. My dream ended with a large and over exaggerated lightning storm with a crowd of people cheering on the intensity of the storm.

Thank you
I was thinking to kill a snake or not in a dream.
the location was my parents home and the house was filled with family, kids, grandkids and some friends. A multitude of snakes appeared suddenly in a long passageway …. I was startled, but I was not afraid … I cannot remember the reactions of others present … suddenly the snakes slithered down the hallway .. I think I followed but when I entered another room they were gone. When I woke and considered the dream it seemed to be loving and friendly not frightening.
i dreamt of two yellow headed and black bodied little snake at my bedroom wall I dont remember my dream that much but i remember that we ask my father to kill it then my father did kill ir he said he threw oth snakes at the drainage
Yesterday when I went to the kitchen there was a nasty worm, which gave me a lot disgust.
Later, when I went to sleep I dreamed that the Virgin Mary was in the kitchen, crying blood and ascending to heaven in my kitchen table. It was very strange because it is a thing of the past, but in my dream I could see it and even more:in my kitchen!
At times it was the virgin and at times was a Holy person known (as if I give the Pope) bearing stigmata.
This happened while I was in the room with my dad, and three three small snakes appeared. I do not remember very well, but I think two of them were black and one was yellow striped with black (the typical). I scared a lot and i jumped over the furniture. I had a bit of disgust too.
But there was something in the fact that the Virgin was in the kitchen that had the power to make them disappear, but the only snake who disappear was one of the blacks . But while dreaming I hoped that “this” something could make the other two to disappear.
Then i dont remember if i woke up or just came another different dream.
the dream time is 12:30 and i wake up i see many snakes but why? reply please my id is dhimardhruv@yahoo.com
I like snakes in real life, I actually almost bought one about a year ago. Don’t get me wrong, if I encounter one in my yard or something I don’t go near it! But I don’t scream at the sight of one.
But this past week I have had 2 separate nightmares about very HUGE black snakes, almost unrealistically huge.
Dream#1. I was with my brother in Ohio visiting family, we decided to go for a walk in the evening. When we were far out in the middle of nowhere I looked to my right and in this grassy area there were piles and piles of very large snakes, these were an array of colors, I specifically remember a red, black and yellow one. Then i look on the path just ahead of us and there is the biggest snake of all, a black one slithering across, it was minding it’s own business and heading from right to left, it’s body was never ending, the head was about 40ft away and it’s body was still crossing the path with no end in sight, my brother said “it’s head is way over there, let’s just step over it and keep walking” so he goes to step over the snake’s body and he tripped over it. Before I could even gasp the snake had reached back so fast and latched onto my brother’s ankle. It quickly let go and took off into the woods. I was freaking out, naturally. But my brother was strangely calm and not talking. He stood up and started walking like he wasn’t hurt at all but he was bleeding everywhere. I picked up my phone and told him I am calling an ambulance and he snatched my phone and threw it in the pit of snakes. He kept yelling at me and saying he is fine when i’d tell him we needed help. He was in denial that it happened, he ended up collapsing and i had to carry him until I found a neighbor who i begged to get help and then I woke up.
Dream #2 I don’t remember anything except that same huge black snake from the first dream, I saw it staring at me and the only other thing I remember is I was screaming like I have never screamed before. It was horrific hearing and seeing myself like that. The snake’s eyes were very sinister, I can’t get that face out of my head even now.
Any ideas about what is going on?
A Black Snake means an attack from your enemy. If you are allowing people that claimed to be spiritual prophetic pray for you or speak things in to your life in exchange for fees, most likely their evil power has gotten hold of you and you are definitely going to experience those type of dreams. You need to put stop to such people praying for you, avoid them as much as possible and also, you need to pray against their evil attack.
To me that is wierd for a black snake to mean enemy, in the US black snakes are garden snakes, ppl like them around and usually won’t kill a black snake because of thier friendlier nature, they eat other snakes an mice or rats ect.
Why do black snakes symbolize enemy?

Thanks for the tips on credit reiapr on your blog. A few things i would offer as advice to people should be to give up a mentality they can buy currently and pay out later. Being a society we all tend to try this for many factors. This includes vacations, furniture, as well as items we really want to have. However, you have to separate a person’s wants out of the needs. While you are working to fix your credit score actually you need some trade-offs. For example you are able to shop online to economize or you can turn to second hand stores instead of high priced department stores regarding clothing.
In my nightmare i tried to kill my girlfriend and she wouldn’t die
Here’s What’s up with this article 20% is very accurate to it’s opinion but there’s something that everybody should realize the inevitable the serpent is an act of symbol ” warning” to tell something or someone died , another meaning of black snakes or other colors in Asian believes it represent a person male or female misses you or love you , it’s a sign that you have to marry that person you aiming for.
others that believe snake brings death close to you meaning a spirit visitation a friend of mine call me today and he got 3 scratches after dreaming about certain serpent , it’s weird and uncanny how he got it he never got out from his room that often probably a wondering spirit follow him home and left with a sign.
i dream about 3000 pcs of different black snakes. Cobra, water snakes long snake, shorts and different snakes all in black color. They are just looking at me with their tounge in and out. Im afraid in snakes and i want to know what is the meaning of that.

Something like a baby?
Wow thats crazy !!
my mom had a dream of a snake following her and it tried to bite her but she kept running away and it kept following her, what can that mean?
I dreamt about a hissing noise and I was scared. I knew it was a snake. Suddenly, I saw it under the couch. It had a horrifying aggressive look. It was only a head, but her body was inside the head and she let it out in a snap. The snake was also able to auto-retract her body (the way you do with a measuring tape). I woke up and each one of my bones hurt. I was absolutely terrified. I am not scared of snakes in real life. I have felt confused and scared all day long. I had this dream last night and my husband found a dead rattle snake in our backyard this morning. As you know rattlesnakes make noise when they sound their rattles.
I dreamt there we two black snakes in my house. although i was scared in the dream, no harm was caused to me, but instead they went out the door.I stayed in the house fearfully thinking there were more snakes…
well I have been having this dream for the past 13 years. It always starts with me waking up in my room and walking to my window. now outside this tree, and a black snake that looks similar to a viper coiled around it with red eyes and it always looks at me. Every time the dream reoccurs the snake is a little bigger and moves closer to my window, but always remains coiled around the tree… can anyone help me interpret this
Omg! Tay. Your dream is so similar to my reoccuring dream. Its been a few years and the snake is dark and very black. It is always in a certain spot and gets larger every time I see it. I just recently realized what it meant. The interpretations are right. There is a lurking darkness and depressed situation approaching and the bigger the snake the closer the time gets. For you I would say something dark or unknown is waiting; it seems as though you know where to find it because you keep staring at it but it may be something you need to take care of before it gets worse. It may be anything even a secret illness.
I dreamt I was outside in the yard and notice a bundle of black snakes, I began to get the attention of friends who were with me, then suddenly the power went. I ran inside my house thankful, closed the doors only to see the black snakes crawling up the walls. I was not very scared especially since they seem to disappear outside as soon as another one came, and the fact that they were moving away from me and not towards me.
dreamt of a black snake with yellow stripes.. i was scared of it. there was something going on in which the snake had to choose who it will live with and he chooses me. i am scared of it and try to avoid the situation. however, i don’t run. the snake comes to where i am standing and stands up om his tail like humans do. while it does that it is of same height as me and its looking into my eyes. shape of its head is like that of an earthworm. i am scared but i gently go and hold the snake by its neck. scared but thats the end of the dream. the snake dsnt hurt me..
In my dream I was outside in the screen house in the backyard of my parents house doing crafts with my sister. Then my grandma shows up and says hi and told us that she saw a black snake outside and she was going to try and kill it. My mom comes out with a visiting friend and we tell her that grandma saw snake, so my mom goes and gets the neighbor’s boys to see if maybe they could kill it. When my mom went to go ask she left the screen door open and my dog gets out. So I went outside to bring the dog back in but the neighbor’s kids were already there to get rid of the snake and my dog had wondered off to the area where the snake was. I wasn’t paying attention and stepped on the black snake to try and save my dog but instead I get bitten. The last thing I said before I woke up was call the ambulance. I have no idea what this means!!!
I was sitting on my bed facing the head of the bed. I had my arms out wagging my fingers like calling a small child or pet. From under the mound of pillows slithers this long black snake. I’m happy to see it I was calling it. It slithered forward to me and lifted itself up to meet me as I bent forward to it allowing me to kiss it’s head. It was in my hands and I was holding it.
That’s all I remember. I was kinda taking it be a healing dream since I’m pregnant again after miscarrying almost 2 yrs ago.
I was working a camp where I worked many, many years ago, and was having a dispute with someone there. At some point I opened a closet where we kept things (brooms?) and there were two snakes kind of curled up in the corner‚ one yellowish and white mottled and the other black and white mottled. I shut the door and started thinking, Are they poisonous? how do I get them out? I opened the door again and one of them started to come toward the door (don’t remember which one) and I shut the door again. When I opened it a third time, there were a lot more little snakes in the closet. The dream them morphed, and at some point after that I feel like the snake was following me around (not a quick chase, but just following me).
Black colored lengthy snake was moving fast & jumping towards land & water & moved towards lord durga statue. And another scene is while reading the book on my lap it seemed some what weighted and I throwed the book down, snake came out of the book & disappeared. After that I waken up.

I saw sankes under me in dream and as I turned my back lying, I saw snakes on fire and then one of the burnt snake smoking, burning in the shape of cobra
Well I’ve been having these really weird dreams lately about blacks snakes that occurred two nights in a row.
Dream#1: I’m in the deep south, some swampy backwoods area that has a hotel which I’m staying at. I come out to the back and this is where it gets strange. Because I come out of the hotel and I call “Mom” and then my old art history professor answers (she was the sweetest thing) and then this black snake comes out of the nowhere. I’m trying to trick it by running in zig zag patterns but it’s not working. Finally I try to fun into the swamp to drown it but emerging from the water I get stuck in the mud. I’m freaking out because I see the snake diving into the water and Im afraid its going to bite me.
Dream #2: I’m in a third world type village.It’s like jungles and such and I’m there with my actual mom and I’m trying to avoid this black snake. I’ve seen it and I know i’m avoiding it. It’s thicker than the other one: looks more like a black viper. I’m trying to avoid it, I keep my eye on it, but i can’t find it anywher so I start freaking out. My mom then grabs the viper which had been stuck to the back of my calf for some reason. She shows me the underbelly and I see that some it’s blackness has rubbed off on my calf. And I’m just really disgusted and freaked out. That’s where the dream ends. too.
If you couldhelp me I’d be really thankful.
A few nights ago I had a dream about a black snake. This snake started out little and in a matter of minutes became 100′s of feet long and about 9 feet thick. This snake was chasing and killing everyone I knew and that lived in my state and destroying everything it came by. There was no hidding from this snake. it could swim in the water and travel on land. In the end of the dream I ended up running to a water tower and trying to hide in the water.. The snake started to come in the and the water started to swish in a circle pulling me under… I ended up escaping and running back to town. I ended up coming face to face with the snake, someone yelled to me even if you kill it there are more coming it had babys plus there is a dad on it’s way. The weird thing is about my dream the snake didnt attack or kill me it just looked at me. But why was it chasing me the whole dream and killed everyone else? That I cared for and loved? What does this dream mean? By the way this is the second night in a row I have had a dream about snakes that grow rapidly and are chasing me…
One year ago I kept having dreams where a snake appeard.I always knew that it was THAT snake even when there were others as well. Somewhere in summer I had a very strange dream.I was in a forest and there were a lot of poisonous and non-poisonous snakes there. The snakes didn’t mind me,but one black snake with red-orange-yellow eyes started attacking me! I started to avoid it and avoided it a bunch of times,but then I woke up,but the strange thing was,I COULD STILL SEE THE BLACK SNAKE! It was a bit like half my room and half forest with the black snake.I still avoided it(hitting my head in the wall) and then laid back and tried to fall asleep hoping a new dream would appear,but then something happened. THAT snake wich was my ‘friend’ appeard as a gost(see through) and wrapen around the black snake and dissapeared.The black snake then had dificulty moving and I grabed it by the neck/behind the head/throat and threw it away. And when the black snake hit the tree it turned into shadows/darkness and dissapeard… In the dream…I had the feeling that if the black snake bit me,I would have died. What could that dream have ment? If anyone knows,please answer… Also THAT snake is something I saw at least once a year in my dreams. Since I first saw it when I was 3-4 years old I started caling it Snake when I was 5. So It’s been there for a while now…
A few nights ago, I dreamt of a long black snake on the ceiling of the room. The snake was just very calm. What’s the interpretation, please?
I had a dream that I was either standing or elevated over the middle portion of a huge black snake it was face to face with a alligator both in the water, after a few minutes the alligator got up on 2 feet and was enormous in sizes turned to stone and walked away, I was not afraid but I was looking at the alligator from the black snake.
i had a dream about a black snake under my grandmothers old house, the snake had two heads but it didnt try to hurt me and any way possible,,, i honestly believe i have a enemy that god is trying to warn me about
I was lying in bed in my dream, having just woken up and there was a black snake slithering through my sheets and comforter. I didnt get out of bed i stayed lying, still, slightly uncomfortable, but unafraid of the snake. & then in my dream i went back to sleep. When i really woke up the dream felt so real, almost lucid.
My dream was about a black snake i was in this house and then i came out and i was walking it was trying to bite me but it didnt thenen again i was walking back to the house and it came out of a tree and this time it bite me close to my eye and i was trying to grab it i wasnt scared but it wanted to bite me again it was so black and then from there i dont remember .
I also had a dream with a black snake attacking. And as you,do not remember much of anything else. The black snake appears to be a warning,but I have no idea of what.
well the other night my mum dreamt about me getting a huge black snake home for some college work but then suddenly the snake was on my mum’s bed and he bit her finger very softly as if he was not trying to hurt her.. after that my mum’s just asking people to put something on it but nobody notices
what does that mean????
Dream was about a black snake getting loose from a cage and then it trying to attack and bite me
This morning right before I woke up I dream of a really huge black corba crossing from my dirt road into the pastor we useually keep the horses then I woke up I dont remember whay I was dreaming of before that.
I saw black snake coming from wall crack and running in lobby,lots of people are there and they are looking for chair or table to stand on it.I also jump on a big desk .the snake seems afraid and just running back and forth.
Dreamt I bought a little black snake brought it home held it then it got away. I thought it slithered into my babies car seat while she was in it. I remember thinking if it hurt her id kill it but found it under the bed. I finally caught it but it tired to bite me. It didn’t but found reddish drops of venom. I ran outside with it down the street and ran half a block and let it go in a neighbors front yard. Their dog chased after it and then I noticed I did get bit on the finger and that was it.
dream of a big snake came out of the water and i was sitting on top of its head, like ridding it and i wasnt afraid what so ever.
my dream was..very scared and worried..i dont know why i felt that way while im dreaming..in the dream i was staying in my friends house..their parents left us..and after there is two black snakes showed up.one the kitchen and one next to the door..i felt like there were watching us..protect us.can’t forgot that dream..im so confuse about it.
One of my co workers dream that we were sharing a bedroom. In this bedroom are two single beds. I was sleeping on the one and she and her husband on the other one. She saw me fall of the bed and a balck snake came from under me. I could not talk and I was just sitting on the floor with a wound on my side with black stuff running out of the wood instead of blood. Please tell me what does this mean.
My dreams are never together, they never make sense, and their always over the place. In this particular dream I was with one of my good female cousins and we were having a little get together with some of her male friends. I don’t remember exactly what I was saying, but I was talking to her male friends, and they were imitating me. I can’t remember if I was angry or embarrassed about it, but I know I felt some type of way. Next thing that happened was weird, bcus their mother came out and said that someone was trying to let a snake inside the window, and she had something in her hand that and was trying to hit it to make it go out the window. Now the weird part about that is the fact that when I hang with someone, they usually have their own place, and there are no parents around. That was ironic to me. Well after she tried to get them out the window, I climbed out thinking that they weren’t out there anymore, then a thick black snake wrapped around my left leg while a snake lying in the grass looked me in ny eyes. All I could do was scream, then I woke up and tried to kick it off my leg thinking that it was still on there. Anddd, that was the end. What does this mean?
Waking toward the water I noticed something hanging down from the tree branch ( insect nest) I stepped around it and to my right a smaller size spotted snake was in the grass, I stopped not afraid and walked around it walking back from the water I come to the same tree branch ducked under the branchk Then I felt a snake in my shirt around my shoulders I was not afraid I reasoned it would be better to calmly walk away and then remove it gently then it bite me in the center Of my chest leaving two small red holes, I grabbed it and pulled it out it was black and it bite my right hand I pulled it off and throwing it to the ground…
