I have had (another) dream about snakes, what does this mean?

Question

I have read before it means people are talking about you behind your back.

There were three brown snakes on someones driveway and I had to be careful where I walked trying to get past them and to their front door. They scared me, but not out of my wits or anything like that.

Answer 1

Snakes could mean lots of things, temptation, fear, sex and so on.

However, in your case

snakes = fear of finding direction, obstacles.

Your snakes in the dream is blocking the driveway or in front of the door. That symbolizes that there is something that you fear about making decison of. It could be your goal or your direction in life. You are trying to get passed them. However, those are your obstacles and fear. Whatever it is, you should know better. However, the snakes reflects your fear about making a right direction in life in this case

Answer 2

The snake is your emotional,mental,and sexual energy that can express pleasure or pain,sexual drive,ideas,depressed feelings,happiness,anger or movement.The snake is the instinctive flow of life.
If the snake bites you,this describes how your own emotional and sexual energy has been turned back upon you in a negative way through anxiety,perhaps through a way of life that depresses you or makes you feel angry or resentful.The snake is your own potential.Do not be afraid.Learn from it,for the snake is an ancient wise part of you.Find out how you are out of harmony with it/yourself.
The colour of the snake tells you in what way your potential energy is expressing.Green might be that you are finding healing or growth.Red could be passion or anger.
I hope I was of some help.

Answer 3

Snakes are symbolic of different things. A classic dream of the snake as being a symbol of transformation. Snakes are often seen as symbols of life, death and rebirth. In North American native tribes, the shedding of the snake's skin is associated with life and a new beginning.
In writing about Snake Symbolism, Gillian Holloway, Ph.D. wrote, "People who are dying or who have lost a loved one often dream of snakes, at or near the time of death. For whatever reason, these dreams seem involved with the psychic awareness of the transition from this life to the next...."

Carl Jung talks about a similar connection between earth and heaven in his discussion on the snake as a symbol for medicine. In Man and His Symbols, he writes, "perhaps the commonest dream symbol of transcendence is the snake, as represented by the therapeutic symbol of the Roman god of medicine Aeseulapius, which has survived to modern times as a sign of the medical profession. This was originally a nonpoisonous tree snake; as we see it, coiled around the staff of the healing god, it seems to embody a kind of mediation between earth and heaven."
Snakes are also seen as symbols representing evil. The bible uses the symbol of the serpent in the Garden of Eden to represent Satan. In other cases the snakes is seen as a phallic symbol.
Recurring dreams indicate a fear or an unresolved issue. One way to deal with the recurring dream of the snakes is to try lucid dreaming. This is when you become conscious in your dream and are aware that you are dreaming. If you are able to do this, then ask the snakes what it is they want and why you keep dreaming about them? If the snakes are hostile and you are afraid in the dream then face the snakes and master the situation in some way. Seeing the dream through to the end is important in overcoming it.
You will have to look at your dream in its entire context and determine how you felt about the snakes in the dream. You should also look at the other associations in the dream. Such as where you are ect.
Gillian Holloway, Ph.D. identifies being bitten by a snake as meaning different things. She says, "In many dreams a single snake will come to bite you, and you may in fact be bitten after a brief struggle. To your amazement though, you will not die, and may find that the situation is not as bad as you thought." According to Holloway you have this kind of dream if you are struggling with some problem, relationship or challenge. "Such a snake-ordeal is an important signal that you are going through a kind of initiation; a psychological and spiritual trial that has the potential to change your life for the better if you deal with it bravely and with a clear heart. You may have to give up something you thought you couldn't, or take a stand for your principles or faith."
If the snake withered and died after it bit you then it could be a dream of a sexual nature replicating the male orgasm. Snakes can also indicate trouble in your life. It could mean that something is worrying you and needs to be resolved by you.

Answer 4

In this situation the snakes might represent a problem that you have been avoiding. Something serious based on the fact that a snake bite could be fatal.

Answer 6

Snake(s). In its psychological interpretation a snake in your dream is a phallic symbol, and to dream of one, especially if it was coiled around you, or otherwise on your body, is a warning that you may be a slave to either your sexual passions or repressions. However, according to the oracles, snakes in a dream are warnings of various troubles, obstacles, or treachery. Of course the colors and other details must be carefully considered, but as a general rule: to dream that you were bitten by one portends a period of struggle against unfortunate circumstances, and if it was a cobra, it carries a special warning to guard against accidents in the following few weeks. If your dream featured a snake wound around you which you could not throw off, you are being warned to expect treachery where you least expect it. To dream of being surrounded and unable to kill more than one or two indicates that you are in danger of being seriously cheated by someone you trust, but if you managed to kill (or get rid of) them all, it is a sign that you will succeed in spite of any hostile opposition; to walk over snakes without trying to kill them suggests that you will, in the end, actually turn the tables on those who are trying to block your way. To dream of playfully handling snakes suggests that you are in danger of being led astray by unprincipled friends or associates; and if your dream featured a professional snake charmer at work, it indicates that you will have to defend your reputation against malicious gossip.
