A dream about snakes can be a frightening experience for many people. It is not unusual to be afraid of snakes! Therefore, when we dream about snakes, it is very important to look at the context of the snake in the dream and its relationship to our waking life. A dreamer will help you understand the meaning of a dream about snakes.

Your personal experiences and beliefs about snakes will greatly influence what your dream means. In order to interpret the meaning of your dream, the first step is to ask yourself a few questions:

How did you feel in the presence of the snake?

Were you frightened and anxious, or did you feel relaxed? The way you felt is an indication of how you feel about the situation in your life.
There are many different types of snakes – for example, a dream about a boa constrictor would have a different meaning than a dream about a rattlesnake. A boa constrictor – something can “suffocate” you, restrict you; in the case of a rattlesnake, something can “rattle” you, that is, disturb you, distract you. Whatever it is that can bother you, it is probably much less threatening than it seems.
