Enhance your Dream Interpretation

Here are two key points to refine the interpretation of your dream.

Key Interpretation Tip #1

The most important point to remember when interpreting a snake dream is that the presence of a serpent in your sleep means you’re symbolically receiving a wake up call from your unconscious.

Dreaming about a snake means that you need to pay attention to something important that you have been avoiding or that has escaped your awareness until now. Interpreting your dream will help you discover what it is and what you could do to about it.

In conclusion, when you’re dreaming of a snake, you can use your interpretation to encourage positive changes in your life. A snake dream can function like a two-sided coin: For each negative feeling in the dream, such as fear, apprehension, anxiety, or confusion, there’s an opportunity to realize something positive that will serve you in your waking life. Use this dream interpretation guide to decipher the precious clues that your dream is giving.

Key Interpretation Tip #2

It’s important to recall the presence of the snake as it was in the dream, so you can get information about  qualities that could remind you of a situation, a person or your emotional state in your waking life. This will get you started in finding out what the snake in your dream symbolizes because this reptile is most likely an transposed image or symbol of something that’s actually happening or preoccupying you while you’re awake.

Dream Work Basics

The following dream work basics provide instructions that can be applied to any dreams, but are particularly useful to interpret dreams about snakes. A series of questions specifically tailored to analyze snake dreams will help you interpret this symbol and define its meaning in your own terms.

When a snake dream comes, you’re receiving a message that probably leaves a strong impression. Whether you are being bitten by a snake or see snakes everywhere in your house, it’s time to pay attention to the message your dream is giving you in the form of images and symbols.

Here are a three simple steps to keep in mind to start your dream interpretation:

  1. Record your dream.
  2. Look at dream meanings in dream dictionary.
  3. Personalize the interpretation of your snake dream.

Record your dream

Whether you are dreaming about a snake or any other symbol, it’s useful to record your dream before you start interpreting it. Write it down or record it on a voice recorder. Take notes about what you dreamt about as soon as possible, preferably just as you wake up to minimize the loss of content as the memory of the dream quickly fades away.

Look at dream meanings in dream dictionary

To get started with your dream interpretation, look at possible explanation for the symbols in the snake dream meanings section or your favorite dream dictionary. This ambivalent dream symbol is often hard to interpret, so take a look at all the possible meanings to gain different perspectives.

Personalize the interpretation of your snake dream

Go further by connecting the dream interpretation with your waking life. To finish interpreting your dream, you need to create your own meaning for the symbols and images, especially if you are dreaming of this wild reptile. To further analyze what your dream means, ask yourself the questions given in the snake dream interpretation guide below.

Specific Dream Interpretation Questions

Snakes or serpents are rich dream symbols with a plethora of meanings that vary depending on what’s happening in your life, your feelings, cultural background and much more. In addition to the main dream meanings you can find in a dream dictionary associated with this reptile, you can figure out what your snake dream means by personalizing your dream interpretation.

Discover how to figure out and interpret the meaning that best suits you. The following questions guide you in interpreting the images and symbols associated with snakes and broaden your understanding of the hidden message in your dream.

  1. What do you know about snakes in general?
  2. What is the snake like in your dream?
  3. What role does the snake play in your dream?
  4. How do you feel about the snake you dreamt about?
  5. What symbolic meanings associated with snakes grab your attention?

Question #1: What do you know about snakes in general?

An accurate dream analysis will emphasize generic associations you make with snakes or serpents and connect them with elements in your waking life. Look at the general characteristics of the snake as an animal and see how they relate to your dream and your life right now. For example, a common interpretation is based on the fact that snakes shed their skin when they grow. This characteristic is associated with transformation, leaving the old behind, change taking place in your life.

Questions to further interpret your dream: What do you know about snakes? How do you feel about them? How do the traits you attribute to snakes relate to your personality or a situation in your life? Are you undergoing a radical transformation in one area of your life? What is changing?

Question #2: What is the snake like in your dream?

Whenever you want to figure out the meaning of a snake dream, try to connect with the animal that showed up in your dream. Invoke the snake’s characteristics, what it looked like, how it behaved, if it had a specific intention, etc. Look at the qualities of the snake in your dream and if they correspond to qualities you may have or aspects of situation or people in your life. The hypothesis behind this interpretation technique is that the snake represents a part of you or experience you’re having in your everyday living.

Questions to further interpret your dream: What does the snake look like? How does it behave? How does it move?

Question #3: What role does the snake play in your dream?

A common interpretation for the presence of a snake in your dream it that this reptile represents something or someone who has a strong influence in your life, whether it’s someone you know, a belief system, or a situation. You can also interpret the snake in your dream has a potential warning about an adversarial person or situation in your life.

Question #4: How do you feel about the snake you dreamed about?

A useful dream interpretation tip that is applicable to any types of dreams is to pay attention to the general feeling or atmosphere in the dream.

Consider also the feelings you have about the snake you just dreamed about once you wake up. If negative, you can interpret your dream as a call to look at how you may be deceiving yourself or others in your waking life. If positive, look at positive transformations in your life, changes that are coming you way with opportunity to grow, expand.

Question #5: What symbolic meanings associated with snakes grab your attention?

Look at the symbolic meanings of the snake coming from spiritual traditions, religion, myths you are familiar with. This can help you interpret the archetypal meaning of your dream.

    I had a dream that there was black and brown rattle snakes everywhere, but out side. There were snakes on the floor, in the pool, but these snakes were just laying there not trying to attack or anything. I felt very scared but I would still walk or swim through them and got to where I wanted to get.

    In the dream all the snakes were of a poisonous nature (corral, rattlesnakes .etc) . . and the way they were positioned created a round symbol with each snake representing a ‘squiggly dash’ or coiled dots. I was in the center then a small circle of squiggly dashes (snakes) then a little larger circle of the same and the circles repeat themselves continually getting larger . . up to 3-5 circles. The circles include squiggly dashes lined up in what appears to be the 4 directs: north, east, south and west and then northeast, southeast,southwest and northwest with a ‘coiled’ snake in between the squiggly or crawling snakes on the north/south/east/west axis .. like the cross hairs of a scope on a rifle. In the very center is where I am standing . . The snakes are animated and making sounds but not moving out of position . . then I see a snake by a rock . . angry and hissing .. I have no fear of the snakes but am aware of their presents. They act like their ‘trying’ to scare me but again, they don’t move out of place . .

    Last week a neighbor called and said there was a rattler in her front yard. I went down and killed it. It was about a foot long . . After killing it I brought it home in a paper cup, set down at a table and all the sudden all electricity in our rural community went out. (12 homes) . . the power was out for about an hour. I said to a neighbor that it seemed the power failure and the killing of the snake were related. Another neighbor killed 2 more rattlers that evening. I’d like to know the meaning of this dream. I must pray about it . . there’s answers in prayer . . I just have to listen for it. If anyone has input, I’d gladly listen. atb, Diggie

  • Dreamt a snake August 20, 2012

    Hi
    I had a dream about 3 months ago. In this dream I was sleeping on the outside verandah of our village house on a dirty sack when a snake crawled past me. I was not bitten but the site of this black snake woke me up. Five minutes later my wife started screaming and I woke her up. She couldn’t recall her dream but sounded scared. The next day someone tried to kidnap our children who had visited their grandparents in the neighborhood.
    This is very strange but true. The question I have;
    1. how comes we dreamt this danger at the same time?
    2. was their witchcraft involved and someone was trying to send us some evil spirits.
    3. My dogs had been barking a lot in the nights leading to this, could someone have been outside our residence sending us these spirits.
    4. the kidnap never succeeded since we had picked the kids earlier (about 45 minutes earlier), is this something that could re-occur.
    5. Was this God warning us in these dreams?

    Everything sounds so crazy.

    I had a dream and there were snakes every where and they were just swimming around in a lake. I was standing on the edge of the lake and i felt like they were all Analyzing me and the one snake swims by me so i go to look where he’s going and it just snaps our at me and bites me in the back of my calf. I feel to the ground and after about 5 second i felt the bite starting to hurt and then i woke up. I never had a dream with a snake in it and i heard it was something bad if you did. I would really appreciate if someone could explain what it means. Thanks

    I had this dream where a little girl or boy and a crowd of my friends were trying to get away from a green cobra-like snake with black sort of like swirls on its back. I moved toward the kid to stop the snake from biting them and I stuck my left hand out for it to bite me instead of the kid, it went for it but kind of knowingly tried not to because I wasn’t the one it was going for. It bit my left hand right below my thumb, and then it slithered backward onto the ground and died. The fangs were stuck in my hand and then fell out and I looked back at everyone and we were in a zoo or Australian (only way to describe it) setting and people were coming to comfort me and were smiling. My eyes started to close and I fell backwards and I became unconscious and I could hear people shouting to get help then I woke up.

    I have had this dream several times in the past couple of weeks. I am in bed asleep and my 2yr. old son comes in my room to wake me up dragging his blanket (like he does every morning). Then as he is walking into the livingroom a black snake with white stripes slithers across his blanket under the fridge. And as i am trying to get to my son my son starts to walk back toward me at the same time the snake comes back out from under the fridge. The snake starts to go toward my son but then changes direction and goes under shelfs in the livingroom. While I am trying to get out the door the snake comes out again and charges my son and I. When we get outside off the stpes there is another snake ready to strike and it is red and yellow. Then I wake up. Sometimes in the dream the snake chases my son after he walks out of my room into the livingroom and sometimes I dont awake in the dream the first time my son comes in to wake me. The snakes are always more interested in my son than myself.

    I was with my boyfriend and I was gathering some wet cloths when I notice his face has a surprised scared look so I freeze and ask him “what is wrong what’s behind me?” Then I realize there’s a snake behind me when it wraps it self around me and then goes on to bite me. I feel the venom in my body and when my eyes close I wake up from my dream. It was kind of scary.

      I was sitting on a stool with a round desk in front of me. I remember getting off the stool and walking away (other people were there) and then a gold colored snake wrapped itself around me and then bit me in the chest. It let go and I got up to go and find a help. I thought I was at church so I found our nurses standing around but no one would listen. then i screamed and called them gossip mongers and then went through a door where a dr told me it probably wouldnt kill me. Then i made my way back through an area where snakes were laying around like a desert but they didnt bother me. One snake ate another and then I woke up. I wan netiher scared or confused I knew it was dream but I just don’t understand it.

    i was walking & down a valley were really big snakes every where so I turned around to go back. Walking back, up a hill, the snakes were smaller. A couple of smaller ones were trying to wrap themselves around my leg.
    I got back to a house and had been bitten on the back of my leg, only noticing at that stage. It was like a mosquito bite. I tried looking for anti-venoms in a cupboard but couldn’t find any. I was calm, Then when the nurses were told I’d been bitten by a snake, I worked myself up to crying but everything was going to be ok. Then I woke up on the verge of tears.
    What does this mean? I have had a lot of family issues recently but I can’t work out exactly what it is I need to fix to make everything better in my life. Do I need to mind my own business, shut up a bit, stay away from people? Change my views? (because my views are so strong I can’t see myself doing that). I am going through a new change in my life as I’m getting married in a few months and getting to know my new husband’s family. Is it something to do with this or is it the family I already have?

    I assume since i’m pregnant that my dream has alot to do with the transition to saving money, changing my life, and getting situated for this child. In my dream I was walking with two small children in an adventurous way [ my to child cousin and I frequently go on walking adventures ].. The younger one out of the two noticed a snake in the rocks and we walked over it. We were not the least bit frightened.. The snake was small, gray.. almost like a baby rattle snake.. I think. The child then began to try and picked up the snake but I stoped him. The baby snake was very lethargic and didn’t move an inch really.. Then we began walking again. What does it mean ???

    What is particularly noteworthy to me is that -

    a) I nearly NEVER have, or remember, night dreams;
    b) I am presently away from home. Slept for the first night at my brother’s house, on the opposite (east) coast, although the dream took place in what appeared to be my home in Southern California.

    A slender black snake, about 14″ in length, burrowed it’s way through a dime-sized hole in the asbestos ceiling and dropped to the floor as I watched in horrified shock and sense of panic. It was very fast, and shimmied quickly across the floor, seemingly looking for another unexposed place as my mind-raced trying to figure out how to capture it, and worried about whether there might be more than one…

    I thought to grab some plastic grocery bags, one to put it in when I caught it, and one to hold it, as I feared touching it with my bare hands, not knowing if it was poisonous, not knowing if it would bite me out of it’s own fear… (I have learned to be relatively comfortable with snakes, as I know two different women who keep, and dance with them, and I have had opportunity to hold and “wear” them… but those were known animals, and this one was a shock to suddenly have in my home – I wasn’t mentally prepared for it’s presence, let alone it’s cold sliminess!…)

    The snake “escaped” into an old, unfamiliar-to-me, rotted wooden table – like a picnic table – which suddenly was there, in the middle of my living room. As I searched for the plastic bags, while trying not to lose sight of the snake, my heart was racing… I think I was in a cold sweat… and I remember feeling helpless and terrified, that my life could be so filled with unpleasant, unpredictable nightmarish challenges.

    The snake was very fast, and it jumped out of the table onto the floor again. Before I could get to it, it found a crack in the molding between the floor and wall and disappeared into it, leaving me anxious about if or when it would re-emerge… afraid it may come out onto me when I am lying in bed sleeping, etc.

    This was when I woke up/pulled myself out of the dream. I was quite disturbed, though clear that it was an important message -especially as I really almost never seem to dream at all.

    I read the interpretations and they all are relevant. I am definitely in deep transition/transformation, shedding skins, being re-invented. I am letting go of many relationships, former aspirations, and have no idea what is next for me, or what is still keeping me on the planet… I woke up realizing I have had a virtually secret addiction to pot for nearly twenty years – something I thought would never happen to me, and something I see has been holding me back from the public eye, as it is not consistent with my self-image and role as a world server.

    I used to believe I knew who I was and what I was here for… All of that has fallen away, and I have been in an existential depression for almost three years, finding no meaning or reason to get up in the morning.

    Any help with the significance of this dream is greatly appreciated.

The snake was more pink (then red) and white. i then took the snake and held it by its head/neck, the snake had small little human teeth and it tried to attack but i held it to tight. My mood was very neutral not scared just a little worried about how i was gonna get rid of it, then i woke up.

    Let me first start by saying I am terrified of and kind of snake, even if it isn’t venomous. In my dream, I was in a local grocery store shopping and I guess the store had a snake race going on that day. When I heard the gun fire to start the race, huge snakes jumped from each cash register counter out of cases they were being held in. Each snake went down the aisles of the grocery store and came back and popped back into their cases. I wasn’t scared initially, just wondered why in the world snakes were even in the grocery store to begin with. When I neared the other end of the store, there had been one snake that got a late start. Out he jumped and down the aisle he went. But when he came back, he would not enter the case he was being housed in. I asked a man nearby that had one arm, as I looked around for an escape just incase this snake decided to snap, why this snake didnt want to get inside of the case. He tried to usher the snake by into the case but the snake kept looking at me and started to hiss. I immediately jumped up on one of the register counters and started to panic. I was scared $#!*less. I asked the one armed man to please get the snake and let him know I was completely terrified. It looked as if the snake had stood up like it was going to attack. So I immediately leaped from register to register while the snake was in hot pursuit. I reached the exit and went to my car leaving groceries behind and all. Can anyone please tell me what this might mean or suggest???

    I had a dream last night that i was sitting/lying down with 2 of my friends by a lake where I live. I was in between my friends and a snake bit my right knee before I could even see what it was. I screamed as the pain was excruciating and the snake bit progressively harder and would not let go. One of my friends (who is my cousin) to the left of me did nothing while my other friend grabbed it and seemingly killed it on contact. Just like that my pain ended. Then a beautiful lady appeared from behind where we were. She’d heard me scream and knew I got bit by a snake and called 911. Though it would be logical to expect an ambulance I found myself being afraid of the cops arriving there. I am not particularly criminal in nature, though I have done my fair share of “misdeeds”. Though I was afraid, the allure of the female kept me waiting with her and talking laughing until my phone buzzed and I woke up.

    Any thoughts or interpretations would be appreciated.

    I had a dream that a king cobra was living under the deck at my mothers house (the house I grew up in) and my dog who passed away 3 years ago was in my dream a lot too. The snake only wanted to eat other animals so I had to be very careful about my dog. Yadda yaadda… It was very real and scary. But I wound up killing the snake with a wire that cut him in half. I woke up with chills down my spin bc I really felt the wire pulling through the snakes body. My goal was to kill this snake the whole dream so wondering what this snake represents…

    Hi. The dream I had last night has left me shaken. I dreamt that I had a cut on my right hand index finger. There was a dark piece of wool coming out of it. I grabbed the piece of twined wool and pulled it out of the cut. The wool kept getting wider and wider as I was pulling it out and then after pulling about half a metre of wool out, a puff adder snake was tied on the end of the piece of twined wool. The snake was alive but dazed. I looked at its mouth and was terrified. The snake itself was only about 30cm long. I felt disgusted and terrified all in one.

      I’m not a dream interpretator, but it sounds like you have something ugly inside that you fearfully want to get out.

    I had a dream last night that a large anaconda (atleast 40ft long) was chasing me. It wanted to eat me (my assumption) and only me. I was in the house I grew up in and for some reason I was the only one there. There were new neighbors that I didn’t know and all. And this snake came out every night to get me as it only chased me. it would chase me up trees and i would jump out of the tree and run inside, the snake would bang on the door and I would be on the other side trying my best to keep it from getting in. I was very afraid of the snake. so during the day time i spoke to one of the neighbors (i did not know him) and I was asking him about the snake and stuff and they knew about the snake but it didn’t bother them. He preceeded to tell me (as he sat in his lawn chair w/a beer in hand) that in order to get rid of the snake I would have to cut its head off. And I was remember standing there thinking that that cant be the answer. So that night the snake showed up as usual to get me. It would always slither at this slow pace but it was like i couldn’t outrun it. so the snake is at the door banging again and right before it seems its about to break thru I wake up. What does this dream mean and why did the snake only wat me? and why would the neighbor advise me to cut the snake head off it it didn’t mean none of them any harm?

    I had a dream last night unlike other snake bite recurring dreams from before…. In this dream the snake had cat heads was stripped gray… Like a tabby cat and both heads bit me in a sudden sneak attack… Curious to hear a well grounded interpretation without going into biblical negative stereotypes.

      The heads were on opposite ends so no tail… Just heads on either end.

    I had a dream a couple of nights ago, about snakes. I was in a small room, like in a trailer house, and a snake that looked something like a copperhead was climbing up the wall after a lizard. My 9 year old son reached out and tried to pull the lizard out of the snakes mouth, he was never bitten, but ended up with a couple of scratches on his hand from the fangs. Then the snake started turning into a white snake, with a black head, and red and yellow markings down its body, and then another snake identical to it, appeared. They were both very long. I didn’t know if I should be afraid or not, and I thought about getting my kids and getting out of the house, but then little snakes of all types started coming out from everywhere, under the bed, from the walls, behind things, they were all over the place. I remember grabbing one of my kids and then I woke up.

    I had a dream last night that I was in the Czech with my husband. We had went over for a mission trip. In my dream I had bought the plane ticket from my old pastor. My husband and I were sitting outside on the steps in the Czech and then all of a sudden these red snakes with 1 black stripe were all around us. They were even on the underside of the tables. I was completely terrified. One of them fell on my leg and I tossed it off me. At that time the snake lunged forward from the ground very aggressively and bit me in the middle of my throat. I woke up completely terrified and with a massive headache. Any insite to this dream would be very helpful.

    I was outside my home in the yard with my youngest son who is almost 2. I was holding an average size black snake with white diamonds omit and white around its hazel to yellow eyes. I can not remember why I was holding the snake. I wasn’t nervous at first then I started thinking I need to put this snake in the woods before it hurts someone. I tried to hold it by the head with one hand and the tail with the other. When I tries to take it away it started moving its body so forcefully that I was having trouble keeping ahold of it. The fear and panic began to grow as I tried to keep my son and myself from being bitten. The snake got its head out of my hand and it turned and bit my right shoulder. I could feel the bite and woke up grabbing at my shoulder trying to catch it. I had several scratches on my shoulder as a result of this.

    My snake was quite a light green and had some very thin lines on him(it kinda looked like a robot) At first it seemed trustful and nice but then it bit me and everyone around me turned there attention to me and started helping me.
    I then found myself alone and trying to push a giant rock out of the way and did like that another two times, until i entered a room with a book that had the antidote in it…While searching i woke up….

    Since the past few days i have had some problems… it may have to do with jealousy , how i feel about myself .. and could be one of my friends that i can’t trust! :(

    I had a dream lastnite 6/9/12 that a long dark & light gray anaconda snake was about to attack my cat as she had her back turned while sitting on my neighbors porch. I tried to warn my cat without alerting the snake, and as he begin to try to attack my son ran out the house to try to save the cat then I tried to yell at my son no but he had already gotten to close and as the snake opened his mouth to attack my son I grabbed it by the mouth with his mouth wide open…..then I woke up instantly but very calm but alert. This bothered me because about 2 years prior there was a snake in my home on top of the air conditioner, and thank God I saw it and immediately grabbed both of my kids and exited the house. The snake was found and killed by animal control and the snake was a dark gray in color and about 28inches long. Help someone to help me understand my dram….

    I dreamt of three blue snakes. The first two were very small and the last one that appeared was the other two’s mother. They were all in my room and i happened to know about the mother just at the moment of my dream. I was surrounded by people who i knew well including my family. Theywere all talking about the snake. Then i got to know that the babies are dead and i started to say that the mother snake is not realy good. But my mum told me its not true and she said wait and see. The snake came towards me and i started to feel the fear. But everyone were telling me not to be afraid and try to be cool. It came and climed up to my head and i was feeling the weight. My mum started saying ” see. I told u ” several times. The momentum that everyone was waiting for to see if its gonna bite me or not came and the snake started leaking my head. They all laughed and said she likes u, and tried to take it away from my head but it was not possible. When i believed the snake is gonna be there forever i woke up.

    In my dream I was chased by a snake, the snake was attacking different people and eating them but it was after me. Sometimes I saw it attacked me, sometimes I saw I have a boy child and I am trying to get away from the snake. I found then one person to get help with and then I woke up. What could be the meaning of this dream? I saw the dream in the morning and I was scared throughout the whole dream, thinking the snake would eat me as well. My horoscope is libra and its very rare for me to see a dream and when I see a dream it usually have some meanings which will occur in the near future.

      I use to have bad dream about snakes chasing me all the time about 12 years ago. I was told to use the word of Jesus, and Armor Up, like the bible says.And when I dreamed those dreams about snakes chasing me. I would armour up like a super hero, but the bible said your sword,etc. And I would be saying “No weapon formed against me shall prosper”, and striking the snakes with the sword chopping them up. I was like a karate kid,…and I had fun chopping them snakes up with my war gear on, quoting scriptures… I did that a few times in my dreams, and they stopped completetly. Actually I had one to try to come up 6mths ago… I was like “satan, for real”.. lets go at it…the dream last a half of a minute..Use the word of God, and fight like a soldier with your sword. The will stop! God Bless I hope this helps.

        I can also dream about something and then it happens afterwards , though it’s always bad on me… also even if i think about it it happens.
        I do NOT think God has to do anything about it, she can’t exactly help everyone in this world… she may only see things that happen to herself.

          dreams are personal and when someone needs help with getting to the point of the dream we really don’t need to be ugly about it.snakes are such an interesting animal to dream about. so many ways to sort out the meaning or warning. if it turns out that it has made you more aware about your surroundings good we need to be aware about our surroundings more and more. snakes in my dreams have meant different things at different times of my life. So just remember snakes in life makes you be aware.

    In my dream, there was an envelope of money that I had to retrieve from this giant chest of drawers and shelves. There were papers scattered everywhere, making it very difficult to find the money. And there had been snakes placed within the chest to protect the money from being taken.I moved a pile of papers and a snake fell out. I grabbed this head as he was slithering on the the floor and noticed that the skin on it’s head changes colors! From bright green to red to purple…the snake tried to bite me on the hand so I found a knife and chopped it’s head off. This happened two more times, I was confronted by snakes and cut off their heads. In the end of the dream, I found the envelope with the money in it. I dumped all of the money in to my hand and then woke up.

      I think many of my dreams stem from exeeniprces as a small child, places my mother took me to when she was newly divorced and would drive all over socal with me standing on the front seat. I was always looking, looking at everything and can’t imagine a modern kid being more interested in a DVD or game. Also had Dadvocate’s atom bomb dream regularly, probably incited more by movie and TV shows than reality. When I moved to Dallas they turned into tornado dreams, which stopped when I moved out of the region.

    The dream was my boyfriends, he just shared it with me, he is in Africa right now with his daughter who is 6, and I am in the states.
    He said that he and his daughter were in a room and I asked him to come see something in the other room, when we were walking away a big snake grabbed his daughter, and I shouted, he said I asked him if he had faith and he said yes and I said lets go back and kill the snake and get our daughter back, he said he fell and fainted and then I kissed him to wake him and told him that he was my hearts desire and that I had killed the snake.
    Very intense!!! What does this mean to him? I know there is some fear here and wonder what I can offer to him to sooth his fears.

    I was on a local boat in the tropical ocean looking at coral, lovely setting when all of a sudden there were black & white sea snakes everywhere even crawling onto the boat. Piles of them. The guide was grabbing handfuls of them & placing them back in the water. I was scared of them & found myself having to “swim/fly” up in the air & hover above to avoid them- I was able to use swimming actions to fly away!

      Harold, I have had that dream. I am being attacked or chsead by someone. I can’t use my arms or legs, they seem not to move. I have an extra dimension to my Paralysis dream; I can’t shout or call out for help.If you dream you are dreaming in a dream, does it mean much. A buddy of mine told me to stop buying drugs from my current supplier. I don’t use drugs nor alcohol.
