Snake symbol

💡Possible meaning

This symbol has a dual meaning, one positive and another negative. Positively these represent healing through regeneration and transformation. This is why you will see the snake as part of the medical symbol in many countries. Snakes were long thought to be immortal because when they got damaged or old, they would simply shed their skin and regenerate. On the other hand, the shadow side of this symbol represents lies and deception. This comes from many ancient stories about the snake and its evil intentions to trick humankind. This is also a masculine symbol and, at times, can represent a penis, often showing up during dreams fueled by sexual desire.

Dream

My husband and I are traveling in our rv and decide to take a tour through India. We met some amazing people. The colorful display of clothing and spices everywhere. We met a family that we stayed with. In very humble room. Outdoor shower with little discrete. Walking through the room a lady was just lying naked in bed asleep from the heat her son was showering and then joined her for nap. I decided to take a stroll out to the market and take in the sites. A skinny man approached me to talk about his size, wondering about bigger people in USA. Many people approached me with kindness and questions about USA. Many vendors had their children with them after school as they were in school uniforms and were taking dancing classes in floors above market on open patios. My husband troy joined me and we walked the streets. We went into a local eatery to try some food. So many options and the waiter gave us suggestions. We started off with ice cream as a palette cleanser. They gave Troy the wrong flavor, it was pistachio and he punched his hand down on counter saying I hate pistachio and the green cup of ice cream spilled over. They quickly corrected it and not a change on their faces they were so genuinely nice. Apologize and got his right ice cream. We then decided to try some sake for the first time. We met another couple from America traveling and talked with them awhile sharing tips. Troy with dirty hands was trying to get attention from the lady and got her scarf dirty. He had crumbs everywhere. She got her little broom to clean up the crumbs when it was in a line she had Troy blow them towards the alter where many crumbs laid. We ate our snack and proceeded on a bus tour through city. We met wild life out in an open field. There was a very playful bull, chicken and some strange cute creature. They would hop around field jumping over each other and us. They landed on one of the couples. We laughed. As were sitting in grass we were getting little bugs crawling on us. They looked like watermelon jelly square candy. Pink and green translucent square bugs. We didn’t mind but the lady told us they are poisonous so she gave us a blanket to sit in. We continued watching the animals frolicking in the field. We continued our bus tour and ended up in another small market with vendors and children dancing. We saw a Mickey Mouse character that I had to take a pic with. I stood by him and he didn’t see me. He turned around and jumped back. Said you have to warn me. And laughed. He took another person then I was next. Then when it came to my turn he had to use the bathroom and would be back. In the corner of the market was saw a small crowd and went to look and there was a snake they were watching. Not my husbands favorite so we left quickly.

Snake

Dream

So I had this dream I was letting my two dogs, Lucky & Daisy out the back door and into the yard to potty like I do in real life on a daily basis. But in the dream the backyard was flooded, very muddy and gross. The weather was overcast and gloomy and everything looked yellowish. In the muddy puddles in the yard I could see a giant black snake slithering towards Daisy. So I yelled for her to come in. The dogs however paid no mind to the snake and it didn’t really bother them either. So I closed the door and came back a little later to bring them in. Both dogs came back into the house but then the giant black snake (that in the dream I recognized as an anaconda) was right there. I was frozen and unsure of how to react. I was so big it came up to eye level with me and then lowered down. I tried to back away slowly to shut the door but before I could it latched onto my right foot. My entire right foot up to my ankle was in it’s mouth. I feel to the floor and was terrified this thing was going to eat me. So I started army crawling with all my might towards where I knew we had a gun in the house. Then I woke up before ever reaching the spot. It’s worth mentioning that in real life my right foot is suffering from old injuries and I am actively trying to work on it with PT

Dream

So, I was waiting in an airline terminal and the guy next to me got bit by a snake. And then I was on a plane and when I got on the plane, the flight attendant, he came over to me and he said, we know you're really nervous about this flight, go ahead and put these on, take this medicine, and then that way you'll sleep and everything will be fine. So, after that, I was, the plane was landing and everybody else disappeared but me and then there were like two pilots and the flight attendant and they were talking about, you know, the plans for the flight and how everything was going and went ahead and landed. Then I was at work, I wasn't working. I was going kind of in and out of my office, walking around the halls of where I work, talking to people. I kept falling asleep and waking up in my dream. I felt like there was a little bit of danger there, but I wasn't too bothered by it. I ended up helping out as much as I could and then leaving.Then I was in a neighborhood living in a house with my oldest child and my two young children. My oldest child is an adult, my other two children are 10 and 8 and then we ended up moving out of that home because it got pretty bad off and dilapidated and we moved into a nicer home up the street. My oldest son decided to leave the house and he was playing with a couple of drones and I couldn't find my two younger children. I searched for them in a neighborhood and couldn't find them and I was talking to people along the way that I didn't know but were very helpful. At that point I ended up thinking about checking our old house. After that, I found my two younger children in the older house. The youngest one was sleeping, the older one was crying and I couldn't figure out why. So, I comforted them and hugged them, made them feel better and then we left the home together.

Dream

I was back in my childhood home in Kansas. I was as old as I am now and my mom and stepdad were there. I was in my room and I felt a dark presence behind the door. The room was super dark and I tried to turn on the lights but I couldn’t. I desperately tried going back and forth flipping the switch and pulling the chains on the fan. I even made sure the light bulbs were screwed in. The presence was angry that I was trying to turn on the lights and I saw a shadow move from behind the door towards me and I screamed for it to stop and started praying every prayer that I have. I told it to go away in the name of Jesus. It didn’t go away but it loomed over me. Then my mom came in and flipped the switch on the wall and the lights came on. The thing looming over me disappeared and she asked what I was doing and asked if I wanted to go to the store. I said sure whatever. So we went to the store and it was the one here where I live now in Missouri. (I guess my mind is combining places that make up “home”) so we’re at the store and we get bombarded with people trying to sell us flowers. One told my mom she would need them when she buried me. My mom and I both screamed “WHAT THE HELL! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU” but the guy shugs and reiterates that she will need them soon for my funeral as if it was a fact. We push past them and go to the store. My mom has me look at cheese and I stay there for a couple of seconds before she tells me she’s done shopping. I look in the cart and it’s full of bottles of alcohol. We head out of the store and go home parking the car on the edge of the patio back in Kansas. We started drinking and then apparently it was the next day at high noon. My mom and my stepdad were like “oh there you are” and my mom was like “you had fun last night”. I couldn’t remember any of it but she said it was cool and I was funny. I shrugged and was looking at the edge of the patio where the cars were parked while my parents were around the corner drinking and looking at the side garden. I was trying to see if you could fit a third car, my car, on the edge of the patio. I had gotten on my hands and knees when a diamond back rattle snake wraps itself around my arms and around my back. I try to stay still and I try to call for my parents who were just around the corner. They didn’t seem to hear me. I kept trying to get their attention and even screamed for them a couple of times. I tried to grab the snakes head and pull it off myself but it bit my finger and slid to the middle of my back where I couldn’t reach it. I tried grabbing its tail to pull it off but it bit me in the back twice. Only then when my parents were done looking at the side garden and discussing what they wanted to do with it did they notice the snake around me. My step dad tried to take it off me once and it ended up biting me again before he was finally able to get it off of me. My hand and back stated to throb and my finger was swelling. My parents were doddling around as if nothing happened and I urged them to take me to the hospital and only after me begging them to take me did my mom say “ok let’s go”. She didn’t take me very seriously. We get in the car and she takes me back to the Walmart. I try insisting more that she should take me to the hospital and she waves me off and tells me I’ll be fine. Meanwhile I start to feel sweaty and shaky and I follow her into the store. She was trying to find the guy who tried to sell us flowers for my funeral. I kept urging her to take me to the hospital when we find the guy and she stays disgusting prices with him. My vision is going in and out as I plead for her to take me to the hospital and then I wake up.

Dream

I was staying at this house with these people that weren’t the biggest fan of me. I remember trying to dye my hair red blue and purple. I was told to I needed to find a house through this company, apply for the house and get the house all in the same day which is impossible. There was this snake that needed a home andi was thinking about taking it. This one kid kept hitting and shaking the tank so I was a little scared to pick the snake up, in fear that it right we were the same people. I ended up picking it up and it didn’t try biting me but the snake seemed sick. So I wrapped it in a blanket and it to store person and they said the snake hasn’t eaten much so it was very weak. Then I was at some work function and I kept running into the same guy and we would flirt a little and then go our separate ways. At one point we were up on this hill with loose gravel talking with some other people flirting when no one were paying attention. Then he slide down the big hill made of gravel while smiling but of course our boss Pete yelled at him because we weren’t supposed to do that. Next thing I know I was at school. Apparently I missed the 6 am- 2:30 pm day so I had to do a 2:30 pm- 11 pm school day which suuucked. Nobody told me what my schedule for the day was supposed to be so I spent a while just wondering peaking into teachers classes deciding who to ask where I should be. As I was wondering there was a sign that said not to go down a specific hallway which was odd but then my best friend and a coworker (in real life) showed up at the school. Next thing I know Caitlyn (my best friend) and I are in the room building this GIANT spider made of legos when a teacher walks in and ask if we are learning anything so we tell her some random spider facts and that’s satisfys her and she walks out

Dream

There was an 8 headed snake that was killing everyone in the house, I think each head represented something idk really what. But there were 5 rabbits that were also trying to capture people to be eaten by the snake. I was running with someone left the house and got to a neighbors house then 1 rabbit captured the person i was running with. I got to the front door, and a lady opened the door and barricaded the outside so I could come in but a rabbit came and tried to get me but i was able to kill it somehow, I looked behind me and the lady was inside the house and the door was locked. I saw another rabbit hopping up towards me so I tried to knock quieter so the lady would hear but the rabbit wouldn’t. I’m not sure if she was too late but I woke up before anything else could happen…

Parking Lot

Dream

I was in the car with my mother. She dropped me off at a parking lot and told me to call if I needed anything. She pulled off as another car pulled in. The car parked and out walked my ex’s bm. She was acting cool and she had the kids get out of the car and stand next to the car. I tried to say hi to them but their body language was morbid, like something was wrong. Seconds later I hear a tire screeching and turn to see a car turning high speed into the parking lot area. I noticed it was my ex and I looked back the kids and the bm who I knew was a snake and I took off running in the opposite direction. I was too focused on running so I kept trying to get Siri to call my mom without being too loud but Siri kept messing up or couldn’t understand me.
