Collections of interpretations of dreams ambiguously decipher what a snake means in dreams. Catching her in a dream is generally a good sign. However, a dream with such a plot can be correctly interpreted only taking into account exactly how the person who dreamed the dream perceives the snake. That is, you need to take into account the emotions and associations that snakes evoke.
Some people see them as a symbol of wisdom or cunning, while others see them as a source of danger. For some, a snake is simply a reptile that can be seen in a zoo or while walking in the forest to pick mushrooms. For others, this is a reason to experience disgust, horror, fear or other negative emotions.
The key to understanding the dream and interpreting its meaning is hidden in how exactly the dreamer perceives the snake in real life.
Do you remember?
Did you happen to see someone doing the same thing? Be prepared for hassle that will not bring results.
And remember: a poisonous snake in a dream always means something ominous, dangerous and destructive. Whereas, the non-poisonous reptile is a symbol of creation, wisdom, friendship and good luck.
Why do snakes crawl on their own?
Catching snakes in a dream is a rather unpleasant dream, but it is incomparable with a plot in which the reptiles themselves crawl to a person, surround him, or climb into his pockets, pursue him, or simply examine him. Such a dream becomes a real nightmare for many, regardless of their attitude towards snakes.
Meanwhile, this dream is not at all as bad as it seems. To understand it correctly, you need to look at snakes and remember exactly how they behave. If the reptiles are devoid of poison, and their behavior does not demonstrate aggression, then the dream is extremely good. It predicts that wisdom, understanding of the nature of things, smart friends will soon appear in a person’s life.
If the creeping creatures are poisonous or behave aggressively, then this is a bad sign. Such a dream tells the dreamer that he is surrounded by ill-wishers harboring evil intentions.
Who is he?
Why do you dream of a fearless character who managed to catch a snake with his hands? The dream book offers the following interpretation of the dream.
In a dream, this image can personify the dreamer himself in his dream appearance or a kind and wise person from his inner circle.
In rare cases, it is a symbol of the world order itself and universal wisdom, presented in a form more convenient for human perception.
Why catch a snake in a dream?
Starting to catch snakes in a dream and catching them is a dream with good meaning, regardless of what kind of reptiles the dozing person sees.
According to Miller’s collection of dream interpretations, such a dream means that in real life a person will be able to overcome dangers and defeat all enemies, stop the machinations of ill-wishers and curb evil both in the world around him and in himself.
In such a dream, as in any other, details are important. You should pay attention to the number of snakes. Their number indicates the number of ill-wishers in real life, or informs about the time period during which dangerous situations should be expected.
You can understand what exactly the number of snakes symbolizes by noticing the other details of the night dream. If there is a clearly distinguishable season in the dream, for example, snakes were caught in a summer meadow, then their number indicates the time period. But if the reptiles were caught in an abstract place in which there is nothing, then the number of snakes indicates enemies in real life.
Separately, European collections of interpretations of dreams examine scenes in which non-poisonous snakes have to be caught in a dream. What such a dream means depends entirely on a person’s personal perception of reptiles. The general meaning of a dream in which it was possible to catch a snake deprived of poison is that in reality a person will be able to master wisdom. For example, if such a vision visited a student or schoolchild, then it means successful studies and passing exams. However, if snakes cause disgust, then the dream suggests that the educational process, although completed successfully, will not be a joy.
Do not be afraid!
Why dream that a non-poisonous snake caught itself on a fishing rod? This is a reflection of far-fetched fears, unreasonable anxieties and fears. The dream book is sure: you come up with reasons for concern yourself.
Did you dream that you were lucky enough to catch a snake with a fishing rod? New opportunities will open up before you, or some event will occur that will lead to a total revaluation of your own existence.
Why catch black snakes?
The black reptile in a dream is not at all the opposite of the image of a white snake, but a completely independent symbol. In a dream, catching a black snake means touching knowledge that is beyond your strength. For example, if a person working as a designer-technologist in an advertising agency has a dream, then he predicts the imminent need to design layouts using an unfamiliar and complex graphic computer program.
If a high school student has a dream, then its meaning is that on some test there will be tasks taken not from textbooks, but from additional literature recommended by the teacher. For a housewife, this dream may turn into the need to prepare an unfamiliar dish from products that she has never used in everyday life.
That is, the dream does not predict joining the Masonic lodge or any secret order. He predicts those events that are most likely in a person’s real life.
What did you do?
In general, it is better not to catch a snake in a dream. This means that you will avoid great danger or great temptation. If you happen to see the opposite situation, the dream book advises: recall exactly what you had to do with the reptile next.
- Put it in your bosom, in your pocket - good fame, good reputation.
- Squeezing out the poison is a benefit.
- Ironing is a dangerous whim.
- Crush – control.
- Kill - liberation, victory, healing.
- Yes - an introduction to the secret.
- Letting go is a waste of energy and resources.
What do snakes mean in dreams?
The snake itself is an ambiguous symbol in dreams. According to some interpretations, she embodies wisdom, luck, strength and cunning. According to others, it is an image symbolizing mortal danger, enemies, destruction and evil itself.
Most dream books prefer to use both options in deciphering the meaning of this symbol, dividing reptiles into poisonous ones and those that do not pose a danger. Accordingly, poisonous reptiles are the embodiment of evil and danger. Those same snakes that are devoid of poison are a symbolic image of wisdom, harmony of being, strength and reason.
Of course, in those countries where poisonous reptiles are part of everyday life, for example, cobras in India, such a division of the meaning of a symbol in a dream is not used in the process of dream interpretation. The same applies to countries where snakes deprived of venom pose a danger. For example, pythons living in the wilds of the Amazon. For local residents, a dream about a python is unlikely to be a symbol of wisdom; rather, it will become an image that speaks of serious danger.
In a dream, a snake can also be the embodiment of a specific person, as every dream book states. Catching a snake with such content in the plot of a dream has a completely different meaning than performing the same action in relation to an ordinary reptile.
