Snake Dream Meaning
Dreaming of a snake is one of the oldest and most talked-about symbols in dream interpretation. In tradition the snake often stands for a hidden rival, an unspoken jealousy or a strong feeling you have been holding down. The snake's behaviour decides the meaning: a calm snake points to a situation you can control, while an attacking snake points to something you need to face.
Old interpreters link the snake shedding its skin to renewal. That is why killing a snake or escaping from one is read as finally breaking free from a worry that has been gnawing at you. How you felt at the end of the dream is the best clue to what the snake wants to tell you.
