Freud & Jung’s Interpretation of Snake Dreams
For Freud, dreams about snakes had a strong sexual meaning. Carl Jung, one of the most influential theorist in the field of dream interpretation, says the meaning of dreaming of snakes can be interpreted as representation of an inner conflict: “Snake dreams always indicate a discrepancy between the attitude of the conscious mind and instinct, the snake being a personification of the threatening aspect of that conflict.”
Dreaming about this reptile means that your conscious and unconscious are not aligned. The snake is a powerful symbol that can be interpreted as a representation of the tension between feelings, attitudes, and behavior.
