I've had a dream about snakes. A snake actually. I'm afraid at first, then I'm not. What does it mean?

Question

In my dream, I step off a ledge and my foot lands next to a snake I didn't notice earlier. It stirs and I'm frightened so I try to get away from it, but I cant seem to move fast enough. The snake catches up with me, and bits my calf, but it has no teeth and it doesnt hurt when I'm bitten. I keep moving away, and when I turn to look at it, it seems to have devoured my foot. I panick, but pull my foot out from its mouth easily. I'm not afraid anymore, and the snake seems harmless without its bite. And it's eyes don't seem menacing. It looks at me, as it was playing. I finally get up and go off, it tries to catch up but doesn't manage to. I woke up with the image of the snake on my mind.

Answer 1

that's mean you going to meet a big boy with a big one and you first time with him you gotta be afraid but after well you will not because you like... :)

Answer 2

You need to be the one to say what the snake stands for - but I can help you with this much:

In your dream you are stepping into a very familiar safe space where you are not expecting anything to fear. However, the "snake" is lying in wait for you. You are startled and respond with fear to your knowledge of what harm a "snake" can cause.

Your fear causes you to flee, but you cannot escape. Whatever the "snake" stands for will not go away. The illussion of the "snake" striking out at you is cleared when you recognize that the "snake" has no teeth.

Even when the "snake" seems to be devouring you, you are able to withdraw your foot unhurt. When the "snake" tries to follow you, it cannot keep up.

This is because the illusion of fear, danger , pain and suffering that one would expect from a "snake" is just that in this case. An illusion.

See if there is something in your life that can be substituted for "snake" as you go over this answer. If you cannot come up with something now, perhaps this will stay with you when something similar happens to you while you are awake. Something that you would be afraid of normally, showing up in a place that you have always felt safe in.

I hope this has or will be of some help, I have had similar dreams and with help from an advisor, my dreams kept me from running around in a circle of fear several times.

God Bless You.

Snake
To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you.� Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.

Foot
Alternatively, you may have taken a step in the wrong direction and your dream is trying to give you a head's up on it. You need to go in the direction that you want to go and not follow others. Take your own initiative.

Consider also the pun of "putting your foot in your mouth".

Eyes
To see your own eyes in your dream, represents enlightenment, knowledge, comprehension, understanding, and intellectual awareness. Unconscious thoughts may be coming onto the surface. The left eye is symbolic of the moon, while the right eye represents the sun. It may also be a pun on "I" or the self.�If you dream that your eyes have turned inside your head and you can now see the inside of your head, then it symbolizes insight and something that you need to be aware of.� This dream may be literally telling you that you need to look within your self. Trust your intuition and instincts.

Love & Blessings

Snakes are an ancient symbol of wisdom, and also of the sub-conscious. In the western world, the snake is an object and symbol of fear. In the context of this dream, the snake, in his wisdom, wanted to teach you to confront your fears. One of the reasons why fear is so destructive, is that we build it up in our minds, way beyond perspective, and having it blown up in this way can influence us to take the wrong action, or inaction on a problem. When we allow fear to develop in our minds, it becomes a big nasty monster with vicious teeth. Here, an object of fear shows you in a playful manner, that fear doesn't have teeth after all, if you confront it, face it, the situation is really much smaller than your mind makes it out to be. From the sound of it, the snake was successful in getting this message through to you, or at least partly...:)
All dream symbols have multiple meanings, and it is important when interpreting a dream to take the overall context in consideration, as well as any symbolism you might assign to a dream object youself. When trying to decide between multiple meanings, it is also important to look around your life to see if you can find a situation that one of the meanings would apply to.

Answer 6

Dream interpretations always say more about the interpreter than the dreamer. The images, story, background of your dream have significance but only YOU can really interpret your dreams. Some symbols have meanings which may be understood by others; their meanings can come from your culture, and some have said there are universal meanings for some symbols that all human beings can recognize. Read Jung, Freud, or any book on dream interpretation for some information on "standard" meanings ascribed to dream symbols. But meaning can also come from your personal experience; for example if you always walked east to go home at the end of the day, east could mean ending or completion for you, rather than a more traditional dawn or beginnings meaning. How do you know when the meaning you find for an image or entire dream is "right"? When you get that "aha!" feeling. I would urge you to be skeptical of anyone who tries to define the creativity of YOUR subconscious; take any interpretations others offer as, at best, their suggestions - and they may or may not have significance for you.

Snakes are symbolic of different things. Your dream of the dead child inside the snake sounds like a classic dream of the snake 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. You said they were in the backyard. Why were they in the backyard? What sort of association do you have with the backyard that might account for the snakes being there?
I had a dream about two black snakes chasing me and one of them bit me then I woke up all sweaty. Could you tell me the significance of the snakes?

It would depend on the association you had with the dream. Did you struggle with the snake or did it wither and die after it bit you? 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.
