The snake bit my left hand and the tip of my right hand index finger. I ran for help but knew not to get too excited to not quicken the poison running in my bloodstream. I found help with EMTS …but I felt myself dying slowly as they took their time to help me. I could feel my organs dying one by one as the EMTS looked at my left hand covered in black patches. I felt myself drifting towards heaven …then I awoke.

I remember ignoring it as I was feet away from the viper. My buddy told me to back away from it and, he flung it on the bed, the viper was very lifeless. I then turned the lamp on and it came after me. I’m deployed right now, I tried to put this dream together, but I can’t? What does it mean, or symbolize?

I was upstairs in my house with my niece and cousin, there was a tank half full of water in my mothers room opposite mine. i was in my room on my own while the others were in my mothers room. In the corner of my room there was a beautiful big yellow snake slithering towards me. I felt initial fear as it was coming close to me. It didn’t look to attack me but i panicked a bit. as it got close the lights went off. I could see the outline of it close to my feet, i jumped over it and went into my mothers room. My cousin and niece went to look at the snake but as it was coming close to the my bedroom door. my cousin closed the door as it was half in and out of the room. Stuck underneath the door we left it for a while but i decided i want to place it in the tank. I went to the door and tried to pick the snake up, I placed it in the tank but then realised it was only the head.

I had a dream about a strange yellow/gold cobra, with a stinger on it’s tail, almost like a scorpion. I was afraid and trying to get away from this snake, a friend tried helping me get away and the snake got him and dragged him out of sight through a door. Can’t really remember much else, just thought it was a really odd dream to have. Any ideas on the meaning behind a yellow cobra with a stinger?
yesterday morning i dreamt of a very bright yellow cobra underwater.
i could clearly remember that it had a light yellow colour and was quite bright. it stood with its wide hood, in some hollow of trunk i guess. it came forward not moving, i became cautious but not scared and at that moment near me was my father.
unable to talk underwater i gestured my dad at the cobra, and my father understood and dragged me away, as i was pulled back i remember the cobra leaning a bit forward and i was watching it, then i was watching it and it was watching me
then i woke up suddenly

Hi guys,
I just want to interpret my dreams i am seeing. This is the second time in a span of 10 days i am seeing snakes in my dream. Today i saw another dream about snake.
I will explain both the dream. Please help me understand the meaning of both.
By reading blogs about snake dreams i got to know for sure, that this is the transformation period of my life.
Dream #1 – Me and my friend(someone close friend) were on a bike ride to a new place for expedition. On our way destination(some exotic place) during the twilight , it was about to became dark and we thought of stopping some where for the night and continue our journey next day. So we found a group of people staying in the jungle. They were also out for an exploration or they were the local people of that area, but they were staying on tents. We asked them a shelter for a night to stay with them and they were so lenient and gave the permission to stay with them. After a while me & my friend thought of helping them. So we thought, we will help them in cooking their dinner. So we thought that we will cut the trees and make some arrangements for tree wood to prepare food.
The scene was it was twilight and about 6-7 pm evening and a dark night was about to arrive. Stars were shining in the sky. I was able to see the dusking of the sun and rising of the moon in the sky. It was like the yellowish-reddish color all over around us. And as we were in the jungle it was lush green as if we were in some part of newzealand jungles(lush greenery).I was actually enjoying the scenery.
Now after cutting some trees we were on the way back to tents, with small logs in our hands. And i was talking to my friend to look all around us and enjoy the beauty of mother nature. I was actually enjoying the scenery in my dream. Suddenly there comes two snakes in front of us. Don’t know from where. but i think one was from left and one from right. They were just one step closer to our way. I told my friend to stop. One was a a COBRA with bright yellow spots on its face.
Both were infront of us and i was about to put my leg in cobra’s tail because they suddenly came in front of us. But just before that it looked back and saw both of us. And the python didn’t even looked back and was slithering smoothly. I put my leg back and moved one step back. And then they both continued slithering ahead. After that the dream disappeared. Then i saw some other dream i couldn’t recollect it.
Dream #2 – The dream i saw today. I am with my mom and elder brother. Usually i am very scared of snakes and so is my mom. We were going some where in the market. Suddenly, we saw a small serpent and a mongoose fighting on the road. After seeing the glimpse of the fighting we continued to walk to our destiny. I don’t know where we were exactly going. There was also mob watching the fight on the street. And my elder brother who is a little bit is an extrovert went to see the fight and took the small serpent and a mongoose and threw them in the a deep fissure. And every one was watching this. After some time he tried to put his hand inside the fissure to take something out and got a dead half cut snake in his hand and was holding and showing it to everyone. And just after seeing this i was awaked.
These dreams are also coming because just before the night i saw the second dream i talked something related to snake with my mom.
About a fortnight i watched the video on youtube which was about a fight of a snake and mongoose. Also a video about a animal called honey-badger who can eat snake if it is hungry . I had also something in my mind related to a novel which i started reading about two months ago(The Immortals of Meluha by Amish Tripathi). And watched a movie in which an actor mimics a snake with his hand and tongue.
I think all these videos and texts were some where lying in my subconscious mind and a new story was cooked out of them. But still if you can clarify the meanings of those dreams in my life, i can take preventive measure or take important decisions that will affect my life.
Thanks in advance friends!!

I rarely remember my dreams, but boy do I remember the one I had last night.
For some reason, I was at a house near a swamp. Someone came to the door of the house in a boat, and I told them I would help them park their boat. So, we went off deep into the swamp and parked the boat. We got out, and I saw a pastel yellow snake. I thought “oh, don’t worry about it, it’s just a snake.” And while we walked on, I saw the snake again. Suddenly, the snake traveled up a branch and fell backwards onto my leg. I gasped silently and thrusted backwards. The snake started following me, so I started running towards the house. A smaller snake began following me too, and a small mouse. The mouse ran up in front of me and bit my hand. I woke up.
I have no clue what it could mean. Help?
I dream of seeing various light colored snakes with white pigment while I was walking and then the next scene is that when I was in the rest room moving my waste in the bowl, in the middle of the process when I looked down, there were same colored snakes that are kind of crawling on the back side (kind of watery side in the rest room) it seems that they are not scary in what they do but I was so scared that I stopped what I was doing not even able to wash or wipe my ass, stand up, put my shorts on and run outside informing everyone what I saw. Then, when I went to the sink, the sink was full of dirty dishes, etc. and I was thinking who will clean it and said that my niece Donna will have to do it. I was trying to prepare myself to church and realized that we are already late. When I saw my watch it say around 10:40 and it seems that it should start by 10:00 am and that my husband is to drive my family to the church so I have to hurry, then I went to looks like a shower room but very dirty to wash or fix myself, then I saw maybe more than 1 small snakes in different places inside that room in dark color, I think moss green or green but maybe their dead, not sure of others, but the one on the table or something is dead with its head crushed, so I hurriedly went outside. I think I realized I cannot go to the church at that late anymore.
