Dreaming About a Snake Attack

The meaning of a dream about a snake attack is tinted by the emotions felt by the dreamer, whether it’s fear, anxiety, surprise, feeling constricted or trapped.

Where in your life do you feel this way?  How you feel while you’re dreaming about this wild animal attacking you will give important clues to understand the meaning of your dream. The presence of an aggressive serpent  can be interpreted as a symbol of tension or resistance you experience in your waking life and need to acknowledge more fully.

Dream Meaning Summary


  • The instinctual part of yourself is being constrained; need to open up, express and channel it in more conscious and harmonious ways.
  • Threat whether perceived or real, worry; threatening feeling that is coming back at you after being avoided or cast out of your awareness; time to explore and face it.
  • Fear of taking risks; navigating moving waters, uncertainty.
  • You are in the process of becoming more aware, conscious.

What does being attacked by snakes in a dream mean?

Here are several definitions to help interpret your dream.

Dream Meaning #1: Facing a threatening situation in your life

A wild animal like a snake that attacks you in a dream could point to a situation that feels unsafe or threatening in your waking life.

The dream may be an expression of a strong discomfort, worry or even fear as you are being confronted with a challenging situation. Dreaming of a snake attack signifies that you’re not fully acknowledging these feelings or the situation and need to pay more attention to it.

The snake attack is an indication of the need to take care of whatever is triggering resistance in a more conscious manner. In other words, one of the main meanings of the dream is to face and explore what in your waking life is perceived as a threat and find ways to deal with it before it strikes.

Dream Meaning #2: Fear of taking risks

Dreaming of a snake attack could be an expression of the fear of taking risks in an uncertain environment. The serpent represents the fear of risking too much and getting hurt.

The attack is an expression of the hesitancy, inner resistance towards making a move in a sensitive situation where you fell that every move on your part could be perceived as an attack by someone else or, in turn, trigger an attack towards you.

You need to examine if there’s a situation in your waking life where you need to take action and move carefully in order to bring a resolution. The dream may point to a relationship where you are “walking on egg shells”. It may also indicate that you need to take some risks and perhaps get “bitten” in the process in order to move forward.

Dream Meaning #3: Expressing an unresolved part of yourself

Snakes are untamed animals and as a dream symbol, they could represent a “wild”, untamed part of yourself that you or others may judge as socially or morally unacceptable.

Typically associated with sexual or sensual expression, the presence of the serpent in your sleep is associated with deep instinctual drives. It can be related to aggressivity, expressing your primal energy, creativity.

A snake attack in a dream indicates that you are in the process of becoming more aware of that aspect of you, whether you want it or not. The attack reflects the inner tension between what has been hidden or repressed and is challenging your world now. The dream points to your resistance to change or to a fuller expression of a part of you that is being avoided or neglected.

Next Step: Make your Own Meaning

    I dreamt that my husband and I were at Macy’s walking hand in hand when we spot a snake. I ran towards the door and the snake almost starts flying striking people. At one point, the snake gets a hold of my son’s shirt. My husband reaches around the snake when it strikes him and poisons his neck. I scream to my oldest son to dail 911 and the dream ends.
    I woke up extremely sad and worried. Why my husband? He was protecting our son.

    I dreamt that I was eating dinner and this green snake came slithering up the table with 7 heads. I started chopping the heads off, but I must have missed a couple because a few minutes later I felt something… in the back of my pants. :/ One was lodged inside and I pulled it out, but another got inside me. My mom took me to the hospital and all I could feel in the dream was fear, disgust, anxiety, and disturbed that I had a snake in me.

    I’m suffering from what they call Major depression… I Donno wat to do, my head feels heavy! This morning I woke up to a weird dream. I was at the park chilling with a guy I don’t even know. Well it was really hard to see who it was. We were chilling by the river when suddenly I saw a snake behind him, I warned him and as I stepped on the rocks in the river to run another snake appeared to attack me. ‘Now here’s a strange thing’ it rapped around me and opened its mouth really wide. I WAS NOT AFRAID! I stared at it while it was trying
    To swallow me, just as I’m about to lose my breath it threw me back to the ground and disaPpeared.the guy survived the snake too but just as I was about to aske him what had happened… He disappeared! Why did I act so brave! I hate snake n I’m afraid of snakes in my waking life!

    My dream was, I’m walking thru a camp setting. I walk down this path where my brother is looking for my three boya’s I owned awhile ago. Then I look down and tell him to not step back. Suddenly, the three snakes start chasing me and eventually catch me and bite me. They didn’t wrap me, just went right in for the bite. My brother trying to get them off, but they won’t let go. Finally, I get them off. Then this other snake from out of no where strikes at me. It was a weird looking snake, with spikes on the side of its head. I manage to catch it by it’s head which was difficult to hold ( very strong and with the spikes). My brother once again shows up and gets the snake for me.
    What could that possibly mean???

    I dreamt that I saw a snake next to my kids and told th to run. I turned around and a snake was around my sisters neck squeezing her neck. I pulled it off her and it got away from me. I asked my sister to take care of my smallest daughter and kids bc I scared of it trying to get my kids and my sister wouldnt take of them. I got mad with her and alot of snakes showed up in my dream. I caught one and was about to kill it when I woke up.

    I dreamt of a big, violet snake, almost like a small dragon. It wrapped my body with itself then bit me. It has sharp fangs. I was able to escape somehow. I found out that the snake was the true form of one of my acquaintances (not a close friend). I went to my friend (who is a close friend of the snake person) and told her about it. She said that it’s okay. She also transforms and assured me that I will not be attacked again.

    I’m a 17 year old male living in Toronto.
    My dream was that anacondas and poisonous snakes were running loose
    All over Toronto. I rememeber how it all went but its too long.
    Near the ending of my dream (I live in an apartment) my mom told me not to go outside, I did leave the house and as I was headed to the staircase and right before the corner, a beautiful green snake with bright gold stripes looked me in the eyes and I had no respond time as it jumped and bit me on the bottom left side from my belly button.
    I grabbed the snake and dashed it against the wall and right there I woke up frightened.

    I am concerned I have a whole future I planned ahead of me. Please help me: IbrahimAbdulle@live.ca

    I noticed a thing have bitten me at left wrist, to realize it was a snake, I cut myself becuase I saw the venom getting up to my arm, when my arms were bleeding I needed to squeeze it more so that the venom will flow out of my wrist so that I will not be poisoned. I wrapped my wrist and so my friends running scared from other snakes. One of the snake fly to me and I was lucky to hold the snake in my right hand, the snake was around my right hand and holding his head away from me so he cannot bit me again. I saw a snake with flaring head, a cobra with his tongue pointing to me and his eyes were staring at me, so scary because that snake was gone so angry at me. I just realized again those snakes escaped from somewhere it went to our place, they were as big as my arms and their body is long. They were attacking me and my friends as well.

    i dreamt of a snake wanting to get inside my house to attack me. i closed all the doors and windows. but somehow it got the window in my bedroom open because it wasnt locked, i think it knew how to push things, it was a bit of a smart snake. when it got in my bedroom i ran out to call for help about getting rid of the snake but one of my kids went it not knowing there was a snake inside the room, i got to him before the snake did. and somehow we escaped, the next thing i knew i woke up very anxious.
    what does it mean??? i dont have dreams about snakes or attacks and i havent watched anything related to them either.

    I dreamed i was working in a church or something like that, and I was moving around some jars. And when I look inside one of them there is a small black snake inside. Then I notice moore snakes and there was different kinds of them. I get scared and climb on top of theese beams that are crossing over the floor in the roof. And no matter where I go the snakes try to follow me. I hate snakes so im of course scared to death trying to escape. In the end of my dream I see this Orange fish-thing on the floor and its trying to attack me. In the end I think it bites me and I wake up. I know its strange, but could it mean something? I hope someone can help me understand it because when i googled it I found something about the person I trust the most, and he/she is lying to me? Like its a sign of danger or evile? Please help. It would give me some peace of mind.

    i don’t remember most of my dream but i can still vividly feel the emotions and physical pain when this small thin snake with eyes that glinted like jewels kept biting and riping at me, and i remember thinking in the dream “it’s so thin why can i not break its grip on me?” it was wrapped around me and so strong. it hurt so much.
    my daughter woke me up because i was crying in my sleep she said. i tried to go back to sleep but every time i drifted off it’s eyes would glint through darkness again and i ended up giving up.
    i cannot stop thinking about it. any help would be appreciated, please email me

    I don’t remember most of my dream but I remember being locked in my bedroom with a snake because I was protecting it from some evil outside the room. It was a khaki coloured, thin and long snake. Suddenly the snake starts attacking me. I manage to dodge it but it was hard since the room was small. Then as the snake lunged to try and bite me again, without thinking, I grab it by its head and force it’s mouth open. It’s struggling hard to be free of my grip. With one hand I hold it’s lower jaw and with the other hand I hold the upper jaw. And then with all the strength I could muster up, I rip the snake into two. That’s when I woke up! Any thoughts?

    I had a dream last night that I was laying in a bed covered by many snakes of different sizes and shapes. They were all across my stomach, chest, neck and head. I was scared to move because I didn’t want them to know I was a person and bite me. I couldn’t run because the path to help was covered in snakes. I tried to yell to a friend but my voice wouldn’t work. I finally tried to fling them off me, and then they started to attack. I woke up then and was screaming out loud.

    I’ve just had a dream of snake chasing me. I was sitting at the corner of the house with my back against the wall. I went to pick up something from the ground and I felt something tried to bit me but it missed my hand. As i was trying to find out what it was, this black snake not big but it almost looked like cobra kind was coming towards me. I jumped and was walking backwards but this thing kept following me. Some how i ended up having the blanket in my hands i use when i go to sleep and was blocking the snake from biting me. Next thing i remember was another person I don’t really know was there checking the snake and examine its teeth as I was standing a side and looking. The snake was aggressive even towards him but didn’t bit him while he was touching it. I felt the fear even after waking up.

    Now…i do have an issue in my relationship with my girlfriend. Some things happened from each side, mine and her’s but what my problem is that in order for me to be happy i need to make others happy first. And if i don’t succeed, there goes my joy. When I say “others” i mean family. Some members are ok with it but some aren’t. But from her side they are ok but rest of the family is bit mad and my family doesn’t want to have any contact with them as they use to say things in the past and hurts lots of people including some of my family member’s. The girl its self has nothing to do with her fathers family (the mad ones) because she comes from 1st marriage her mum had but still get’s involved into all this. Today is her birthday and I had no idea what to do. If i go see her trouble starts here and if I don’t what kind of man would that make me? So…I am in between two fires only don’t know which one will burn me most. This is my issue regarding the dream I just had but there’s more to it. Its just the feeling someone or something is causing this to be the way is it. It could be me, her or anyone I just know there’s someone else involved into making the flames bigger.

    I had this nightmare last night. Me, my little sister and my mum had just finished watching a concert (can’t remember what the concert was) anyway the concert was in the middle of bush, so we had to make a long journey back to the car through the shrubbery.(it was a very vivid dream, long dirt track with trees on the outside, heaps of rocks and twigs) I was do happy after the concert that we were all singing, I skipped out a bit in front of mum and twirled and danced, I tripped over a branch and we all laughed cause it was funny. I was rolling on my back laughing, I could see my mums face, so happy and filled with joy and then it suddenly turned into fear. She screamed “snake” I turned my head, and there about 5 metres away from me was a huge brown snake (I could tell just by looking at it that it was deadly, it had a large head and black eyes) I started to panic but as hard as I tried I couldn’t get off the ground. My mum unable to do anything screamed,”roll Tayla roll! Faster!” I was rolling as fast as my body would allow but I just knew that I didn’t stand a chance. I could hear the snake coming for me, puffed and exhausted i cried in fear of dying. My mum screamed and that’s when it striked my neck. It’s huge fangs latched around the back of my neck. It felt so real the pain was unbearable and as hard as I shook my body it wouldn’t let go. I could hear my mum screaming but it was like she was stuck there. As was I. I felt the poison seep into me and my body slowly started shutting down. I was becoming weaker and weaker. With my final bit of strength I reached over my head and ripped the snake off me. It slithered off quickly far away. My body was paralized I was chocking on my own blood. I knew I was dying and it scared me not because I was afraid but because I was afraid of how my death would affect my family. My mum ran over and she knew we were too far from help. We both knew I would die. Her face was full of sadness and shock. With my last breath I told her to be strong and that I love her. Everything started to spin and my eyes fluttered shut. The last thing I could feel was my mothers tears dropping on my cheek.

    Im a 16 yr old girl and this dream has scared me. If never had a dream like this before, it was so vivid and I can remember how it felt and looked. It was so realistic that it makes me depressed. If never had a problem with snakes before but now I think that’s changed. And the weirdest part was as soon as I died. I redreamt the dream again exactly the same except this time i was able to get up and run, saving myself….

    I only remember fragments of the dream. The snakes are in a bag which I was holding and I think I supposed to swirl the bag around to ‘blessed’ the place or wane off bad auro. The bag wasn’t tied and had a feeling that snake(s) may or had got out. Tried to tie the bag but saw one snake snarling with its jaws wide open, I would see its teeth. Somehow I did managed to tied the bag. Bizzarely, I was using the bag as a mop. One of the snake was really exerting itself. I was making a comment to someone (don’t know who it was but there was someone else with me) saying ‘look at it, so untamed and aggressive’ or words to that effect. In between of these, I saw there was a snake of brown (not entirely brown but there was other lighter colour, looked like ring – brown and light colour or just brown mixed with other lighter colour), curled up (not aggressively but like cat and dog) on somewhere but not clear where. What does this all means please.

    I dreamt I was at my house with my little brother and best friend (I’m a boy and she is a girl). She went around to the pool which is beside my house, I went to follow her but an aggressive snake slithered between us and came for me. However the snake didn’t lunge, it just past me and slithered inside. I heard the screams of terror from my brother as I ran to grab a knife from the kitchen, found the snake reared up and about to strike, I swung the knife…missed and the snake became angry and bite me on the arm. The pain of the bite woke me up. I’m and 18 year old boy if that helps

    me and my family were in the house but cant remember which part of the house. then somehow we saw a black huge shiny snake and it bit my hand and my mums near the thumb at the same time but during that period no one was scared everything was super calm. After that we left the room calmly wanting to clean the bitten area but we never did….and the snake left at its own pleasure i guess.

    I was in the back of the shop (an old place where I used to work), outside, sitting on the dock. There was a man out there pouring a raised concrete structure in the shape of a heart. I have no idea who the man was….older, handlebar mustache.

    He told me he was building it for “his love”.

    All of a sudden there was a huge yellow snake, the size of a boa constrictor,
    but with poisonous fangs. He told me he was going to coil the snake
    over the heart so I could see how large the heart was.

    He grabbed the snake with one of those poles and started trying to
    wrestle it into place. The snake twisted and turned and snapped its
    body this way and that. It was flashing its fangs and getting the
    better of the man.

    I was paralyzed; I knew the snake was going to get loose but I couldn’t move.
    He contintued to battle with the snake and I could hear the snake
    start to make groaning noises and I knew it was just a matter of time
    before it was going to strike and kill me……then I woke up

    I was dreaming I was in a race with my friend my high school who I have no seen forever. We were trying to get to the lake and as I was running to there it was like I was in a jungle gym holding on to these thick ropes on each side of me and on my feet some part of the bridge kept falling off I get closer and the. I see a huge snake it was huge! I can’t remember what kind it was but I saw it swimming under me and I’m so scared it looked like it was swimming away but he was actually coming closer to me. I yelled to my friend and he said keep coming and started shaking the bridge we were on. This made the snake really mad… I’m watching it below me and then it hisses really close to me then I woke up

    I had a dream that i was outside watering my flower garden and a snake came out of a crack in the ground and srung into the air to attack me. I caught it in mid air by the back of the head and was squeezing it. Then I threw it across to the other side of the driveway. It came slitherung back at me very quickly and again sprang up to attack me. It bit into my clothes but never made contact with my skin. It continue to attack several times when finally I caught it mid air once again and caught it by the back of the head in the some hand I was still holding my water hose. I began sqeezing the snake by the back of the head as tight as I could. As I looked at it I beggan to scream in shear terror as a row of fangs were showing.While I was screaming and still holding the snake my husband comes running out of the house and starts to break the fangs by bending them in the opposite direction that they came out as in the prosses of bending them one of the fangs dug into his finger and then that’s when I woke up with my chess feeling heavy from screaming so much and an uneasy feeling. I don’t understand it and I question myself, am I crazy?

    I had a dream that I was in the country looking for snake eggs for some reason; I saw a big snake wrapped around a tree trunk and an egg underneath of it, so I was creeping towards the egg, which was under a shadowy overhang type thing, and I didnt have my glasses on and I thought I saw another snake under the overhang and as I got closer I realized it was a GIANT snake, like anaconda 40 feet giant, and I got out my phone to take a picture of it and it heard me and lunged at me to attack me and then I woke up

    I was at a house that had been restored from an older church and it was pretty and I was with people that I thought I knew in the dream but didn’t know who they were when I woke up. I had to go outside in the side yard if the house to get something, everyone else was inside. When I went around to the side of the house I saw about 5 or 6 snakes slithering around in the grass. They were about 5 feet long and extremely thick like as thick as the size of a hand and were light brown with some black markings. When I saw them, they saw me and started coming towards me very fast and hissing. They had huge teeth and were chomping their mouths at me as they were chasing me. I was running and panicking when I started running up the stairs to the church/house, one of them was about to bite me when I woke up. I have no idea what this means but all I know is that I’m not scared of snakes normally and that this dream was terrifying.

    I dreamed I was walking with my best friend down town and he’d given me a proper hug for the first time I can remember. Then, I came across this lady and her husband walking down the street. ( it was in a really pretty part of town). And the lady was very eccentric looking. She was walking with some animals like a dog and she had a little greyish brown snake around her neck and it was behaving fine. And I kind of have a fear of snakes but I looked at it and I wasn’t afraid really and so I remember thinking to myself that I must be over my fear of snakes. And I felt pretty good in that moment. But then (I don’t remember this bit well) she started talking about something that she does, like a service she Offers, (I don’t remember what though)and I went up to her to ask about it and she started telling me how she does energy work and she could give me a foot rub right then and there and something else that didn’t have any thing to do with a foot rub. And she seemed really excited to do this and she wanted tO find a futon to put on the ground so she could do thIs. But then I realized how strange it all sounded and I knew I didn’t have enough time to spend there because I had to get back to school so I started to try to politely apologize to her and decline her services but then I looked at her dog and it was green and scaly with a snake head and her fingers were green and scaly tOo. I tried to keep my distance from her dog who suddenly was approaching me just trying tO be friendly. I remember thinking she probably will think that I’m scared of dogs but oh well. Then there was also the fat short black snake on the ground with a big head and it was moving quickly but not threatening me. Then the snake around her neck began to lash out a bit and I was trying to get away from all of it when this long thin white snake beg and out of nowhere and was coming after me very fast lashing it’s head out and trying to attack me. It was venomous and could really hurt me I think. I was terrified. I heard my mom, who wasn’t there before, exclAim in a voice that didn’t sound very worried or nervous “this is like the kind of all snakes in the jungle” or something like that. I was running away so scared when the dream ended. I half woke up and my eyes were still closed but then I thought I felt something move on my pillow and I freaked out thinking it was a spider and i shot out of bed but I didn’t see anythIng.

      Now that’s cool.My Dad had a ’69. I think it was an R/S, with a 307 V8. (Could be wrong; I was 10 at the time and I’ve slept since then.) Metallic blue. I miss that car. No chance of fidning it, either — he had to trade it to buy a pickup truck in ’72, and he found out later it was sold to a young lady who totalled it within two weeks.*sigh*

    I dreamed of a large black snake that had large fangs and was arched and aggressive in the house. It was almost like it was really angry about being stuck in he house. It didn’t attack me and I opened the front door and let it out. Any thoughts?

    Wow, Susanne! Thanks for sharing your poefuwrl dream. If this were my dream, I’d consider my feelings about Kerkrade and Rita Dwyer with the connections to hearts by golden thread. As dreamers we are all connected and Kerkrade was a place some of us chose to reconnect and make new connections. Some of us participated in the psiberdreaming conference, connecting even more. As I type this I’m remembering the color red featured prominently in the psiberdreaming conference, especially our presentation, Spirit of the Abbey, which featured Rita Dwyer! Hmmm I might ask myself about some of my dream/dreamer connections especially with Rita Dwyer I might also ask myself if there’s something I wish to communicate, maybe about dreams, maybe via the internet, something that can be read (red), lol. Creating a database Hmmm I might consider the literal implications. Best wishes, Susanne. Thanks for dreaming with us. Love, SherryLike +1

    I dreamed that there was a brown and tan snake that seemed to keep showing up suddenly swinging swiftly toward me like it was trying to bite me. I was most afraid of it when I was at church and could see it from a distance and it suddenly swung toward me. I was in fear of this snake throughout the entire dream and it eventually bit me on the hands and arms. The bite was very painful and it happened a few times.

      Love where you went with this Sherry!!!!Yes there is a def. feeling of the first part doing thgnis for others, and the last part I feel like I was doing thgnis for myself, it’s ineresting how when I taught, accepted the outcasts, the dancing, art, and accepting unexpected love it became a portal of time, and i transformed into their age like a time machine, I went back. (Come to think of it, my younger years were alot like that, filled with creative outlets).Thanks for the insights Sherry!!!Love GloryLike +2

      For me there’s also a connection beewten ancestors and Asians, who do honor theirs. All the Puerto Rican’s I’ve known were so colorful and expressive! Known to be hot blooded too and lots of other stereotypical connections. Maybe my ancestors had their own type of expression? Maybe they rebellious/courageous? I’d spend some time thinking about how me and this cute Asian guy can get it on! LOL!Like +1
