  Last night I had a black snake in my dream. I was standing in a tree to save myself from some other animals… But I didn’t notice the snake which was already there in the tree. It tried twice to bite me… The second time it bit my left hand….. It was an awful feeling…

  I had this dream of this black snake that was on the ground at the foot of my bed coiled up in like an attack mode with its eyes set on me and I was just watching it and was too close it struck twice and bit my hand or arm the second time and I somehow got ahold of it with my good hand and had it by its head and ran to find my dad for help. My dad didn’t come to take the snake from me he was scared to do anything he wouldn’t even help but he had a friend that stepped up and took the snake from me and that’s when I woke up. What does this mean?

  I had a dream in which I was walking and noticed a yellow big snake. I made a run for it but when I turned around I saw the snake in front of me with his mouth all covered with something clear. Even though the snake’s mouth was covered it still bit me.

  I dreamed of two black snakes. I skinned them, one dead the other still alive and moving. I asked two men why that one snake was still alive, and they said to watch out for the snake’s teeth.

  I had a dream that my throat was slit open, about 2 inches and 2 skinny black slimy snakes came out of my throat whenever; one longer than the other alternating. I was afraid to swallow because I don’t want the snakes to go to my stomach. I was also told to take an x-ray of my body but I was scared that I might see the shapes of snakes all through my body thru the x-ray. Then I woke up. I don’t know what this means…

• Michaela // Sep 25, 2011 at 5:18 am

  I’m just confused, the snake in the picture up there on this page was in my dream. I saw him at a beach and I threw rocks/pebbles at him. Then he chased after my mom and never went after me, though. Then my dog bit him.

  In my dream my boyfriend and I went to a sort of group home for adults to see a friend of his. When we arrived, my brother for some reason, pulled in behind us, with his family in his truck. He got out, smiled, said something that I am unable to remember and left. Now the home that we were visiting was a strange place - the only male living there it seemed was my boyfriends friend, and the atmosphere was cold, with zero life. There was no music to be played, no-one was allowed to sing, or do anything that represented life and being alive. Anyway we went inside to the friends room, a small room, very little furniture, and after a few minutes I got bored and decided to go outside.

  When I got outside I thought, “I am going to sing”, and began to hum out loud. As I began to sing I looked to my left and noticed three pillars with three medium sized black snakes, red spots, sitting on top of them. The snakes descended to the ground and began to follow me, so I climbed on top of a mound of dirt and as they were ascending toward me I pulled a sword form my pocket and sliced off the snakes’ heads, then I woke up.

  Can someone tell me what they believe this dream can mean? thx

  I had a very rare Scary, Snake Dream.

  One of my Friends was complaining about her heavy hair. I was checking the same and among her long tresses, I find a snake coiled. I get scared and keep her parents informed. Slowly we remove the Snake and place it on Window Sill. Her Dad checks it out and finally the Snake is killed.

  soñe que una serpiente negra con cabeza azul me alfateaba mi miedo hacia ella y abria su ocico y se iba hacia mi cara y el veneno me lo echaba a la boca hasta quedarme paralizada y no poder mover mi cuerpo..

• kota // Aug 1, 2011 at 2:51 am

  I don’t think I’ve ever dreamed of snakes before - I don’t have much interest in them. Last night, however, I had a very vivid dream in which I ate a snake and I specifically remember having to pull large, bitter tasting chunks out of my teeth. I have weird dreams quite often, but this one just seemed extra bizarre.

• Bonnie // Jul 19, 2011 at 11:41 pm

  I dreamt of beautiful rainbow coloured snakes who needed t get into water and without which, they were dying. I was at a beach and I was scared of them, but nonetheless, I picked up one and dropped it back into the sea whereby, it swam off happily…the second one, I could not catch, so I covered it with wet sand and it made itself a neat burrow. (I wonder what could this dream mean) !!

• Matt // Jul 15, 2011 at 5:39 pm

  I had a dream about a really fat blue snake coming up from underground. The setting was nighttime and there was a party going on with drinking and drugs. Family members were there, including the dogs. So everybody notices the blue snake and just gathers around it. It opens it’s mouth, but no one’s scared, just very interested in it.

• Terry // Jul 5, 2011 at 5:04 pm

  I had a dream about a coral snake floating away from me. I had a tortoise baby turtle in my hands. It jumped out of my hands and the coral snake bit it on the leg. I was so sad about it, I cried and cried.

• Carmen // Jun 24, 2011 at 9:19 pm

  My dream was terrible. I can’t remember the first bits but it was all very confusing. Then towards the end my cousin manipulated a stick quickly under a building that in my dream was where I stayed.

  Out came a snake when she moved the stick. I held in my arms my daughter of 4 months. This snake was shortish but fat. It was a cobra so was new in my dream. The snake was spitting and hissing and seemed set on getting myself and my baby.

  My cousin was trying to hit it away with a stick but this snake wasn’t having it. I ran with my child in my arms but I was too slow. So I pulled myself up onto a large window ledge. I placed my baby on my lap in between my arms so she was out of the snake’s view, as my logic was that the snake would see me and bite me.

  I closed my eyes bracing myself for the searing pain which would surely come with the bite and thought of all the things I’d miss when the venom kills me, breaking my heart to think I wouldn’t see my little girl grow up. It took a little longer than I had expected so with hope in my heart I opened my eyes and found the snake had some how come across my lap and had bitten my daughter square in the face. It was hanging off her cheek.

  I can not tell you the sick feeling a felt and the pure rage. I pulled the snake’s mouth back so as not to rip my little girls face. I pulled the snake off her and was holding it. I was screaming for my husband, begging him to suck out the poison quickly while I have the snake in hand.

  The whole time I couldn’t see my daughter’s face. From the time I opened my eyes to discover the snake on her cheek I only saw the side of her face. She didn’t move or make a sound.

• Barry // Jun 23, 2011 at 6:28 am

  I had a dream that I was being confronted by a cobra, I seized him by the neck and he kept trying to bite me, his fangs did scratch my skin and I could see the venom pumping through his fangs but he was unable to puncture my skin. After several attempts of him trying to bite me I flung him out of sight.

• Nomwe // Jun 12, 2011 at 11:17 pm

  I saw the brown skin of snake on top of the green grass. Then when I changed my position to head facing upward I saw very long snake. It was light colored, looked yellowish and had a small head. Snake was standby doesn’t move. I told my self that the snake was changing its skin.

• Rebecca // Jun 4, 2011 at 12:10 pm

  I dreamed of a bright green almost turquoise snake. Very large and it looked at me as it crawled away. I was not frightened.

• aerah // May 5, 2011 at 8:18 pm

  I had a dream last night there was a colorful snake that starts from small snake and grows to be a very long snake. I don’t know if it’s chasing me, but I remember the snake crawling around my body and in my side.. I also remember seeing my cousin in my dream. I ask her to hold the snake in her hand…

• Tanya // May 4, 2011 at 8:21 pm

  I had a dream that I was with my stepsisters and we had had a massive fight. I was feeling really sad, but they were fine. Then one of my stepsisters gave me a box with about 4 snakes that looked like they were dead in it. So for some reason, still feeling sad and crying, I threw the box up in the air and thousands of snakes fell out. Lots were wrapped around me and I was laying on others. I was terrified and my stepsister got them all off of me by picking them up by their heads with tweezers.

  We packed all the snakes away in the box again and I was talking to someone I dldn’t recognize about them. I threw them up again and the same thing happened, only this time, before my stepsister could get them off with tweezers, some of the snakes bit me. But I wasn’t as terrified as I was the first time. They were all little snakes in different bright colours, and the bites didn’t really hurt - only a little bit.

  I really need help finding out what this dream means.

• Anna // Apr 22, 2011 at 12:01 pm

  Had a dream that I was at work and I went to the box where we keep work and there was a dead snake in the box. The skin was there but the insides of the snake was missing. Afterward, I was walking and a flat snake crawled up my pants leg. I though it bit me but when I went to the doctor I was told it did not. When the snake went up my pant leg I was able to grab it and hold onto it until I got to the doctor’s office.

  In my dream when I was given my pants back I noticed that my pants had been pressed and looked new. Can anyone tell me what this means? I am so confused.

• Don // Apr 10, 2011 at 5:21 pm

  I’ve had many snake dreams so heres one:

  I was in my backyard during the daytime, and I was with a little girl (did not recognize who she was) she had blonde hair, medium length. She had went into my neighbors yard and I went to go follow her through the gate of the fenced in yard. Then all of a sudden a dark colored snake came out of the ground and wrapped around my leg and curled around my left arm. I used my right hand and squeezed his head furiously and screamed at it him, stunning the snake, I through him into the air far away from me and the little girl. We ran back into my backyard and as we did the fence started turning into little marching spiders, then spiders and snakes started coming up through the ground in my neighbors yard. That’s when I woke up.

  The 2nd one I’ve dreamed of had me near the ocean, a place where me and my family used to go fishing at. There were rocks in the water I would step on. In my dream, hundreds of snakes would come up to me as each wave came crashing in, surrounding my legs. One snake actually bit me, but I felt no pain, I did not react to it at all. That’s when I woke up.

  The 3rd one, I was standing on the porch at my house, and I saw a huge (maybe about the size of a large dog) yellow snake eating a smaller snake. The snake finished eating and then set his eyes on me. I ran back into the house and the snake kept trying to knock the door down. Eventually someone killed it, I don’t remember who, but we plopped its dead body onto the kitchen table and the other little snake he had eaten came out of his mouth, along with a lot of other snakes. That’s when I woke up from that dream.

• Ray // Mar 18, 2011 at 6:32 am

  I saw a yellow snake which was coming near my 2 year old son and then I shouted, “snake, snake!” Neighbours came around and one of the men killed the snake by crushing the head with a sharp object. The next morning was my son’s birthday and I had this dream in the early morning of his birthday.

• Jamore // Mar 1, 2011 at 1:19 pm

  I dreamed that rattler was in the foundation of my house. Each time I tied to strike his head he would dodge but did not bite. He appeared to be entertaining himself. I wonder what does this mean or indicate?

• Dawn // Feb 28, 2011 at 7:24 am

  I had a dream I was outside on my patio, even though it wasn’t one I had seen before and I kept hearing a slight scraping/sliding sound. I had a feeling it was a snake but couldn’t see it yet because there were potted plants in the way. Suddenly I saw it come out from between two pots and got very scared because it seemed very aggressive towards me. I climbed up on top of the table I was sitting at and it started to come towards me with it’s mouth open. The whole time there was a loud humming/scraping/hissing sound with it. My male cat started to stalk it and distract it and the snake lunged at him a couple of times, then my litle female got into it but seemed more like she was playing with it and I think she got bitten on the head. More concerned about my cat, I got down and carefully picked my cat up to bring her inside where I saw my ex-husband just sitting there. I yelled at him for letting the cats out and that there was a big black snake out there trying to attack everything. That’s when i woke up.

• lacedric // Feb 26, 2011 at 7:35 pm

  I was in a dark place and on a hill there were a lot of snakes around, spotted and possibly rattle snakes. I fell and was bitten in the back by many snakes. Then I was being helped by people but was in fear of death. Then I woke up in a very bad mood.

• sheldon // Feb 14, 2011 at 3:59 pm

  My dream was just me in my living room. I walked towards the kitchen and
  there was a big rattlesnake and it was trying to attack and bite me. I was
  backing up with every strike the snake threw at me! So, I grabbed my hockey
  stick that was beside the dining room table and started hitting it with the back
  end of my hockey stick! It was hit and miss so I flipped the stick around and I
  cut of its head with the blade of the hockey stick. Then I was just staring at
  the dead snake in my living room for some time. Then my dad came out of nowhere
  and saw me just looking at this dead rattlesnake in my living room. And he
  grabbed the dead snake and he cooked it and we ate the rattlesnake… Then I woke up from my sleep.

• gigi // Feb 13, 2011 at 1:32 am

  Last night I dreamed of a long spiky black snake. It was trying to bite everyone it came across. I was in a hole in the wall store that carried mystical stones and potions and there were random people in the store with me. They knew of the snake roaming the store freely, but they all acted as if they were powerless to capture it. The snake could pop up anywhere and strike.

  So I was watching a woman defending herself against an attack by the snake. She sat at a table and the snake was on the table raised up and striking at her. She just kept blocking it with a pencil in the mouth of the snake. At that moment I felt bad for the snake and I don’t know why, but I thought the woman should treat the snake better than that.

  As soon as I thought it, the snake leaped from the table and tangled itself into my hair and climbed up into my head through my eye sockets giving me an uncomfortable feeling but not painful. It sucked in its spikes and wrapped itself around my brain Then it whispered to me that if I didn’t take care of him and do everything he asks he would squeeze my brain till it popped. I was so frightened that I promised I would, and begged him not to kill me. The snake quickly unwrapped itself from my brain and I could feel the soothing feeling as the snake left through my eyes sockets. Then it went back to taking strikes at the woman at the table.

  I dreamed that I was in the woods and found myself surrounded by a ring of worm-like snakes that were partially buried underground. I was uncertain as to whether or not I was safe in the center of the ring, so I reacted on instinct and gingerly made my way through the snakes to get to real safety. Although it was more risky to walk through the snakes than maybe to have just stayed put, the other side offered more long-term safety. Being inside the ring didn’t offer any immediate harm to me, but my instincts said harm could be pending.

  In the city riding bus to work, now at the office working on papers and the scene switches. I am walking home from work, grasslands, blue skies and sunshine. Ahead I see a weird shape like a cloud, black like the a clear night sky, I immediately put a hard crazy face on for defense as I walk by and a young childlike face pops up and says “hello”, the face is pretty, brown skin, light eyes with black hair in braids or twists? I say hello and pass by kept walking, walk walk all of the sudden I am facing a ditch like hill with a path previously made to climb out. I begin to climb and the dirt/sand begins slide back down. I said “how am I going to get out “if I pack the dirt/sand like steps then I can get up and out. I looked to my left and see a huge snake which begins to charge at me quickly. I was afraid and knew I had seconds; I grabbed the dirt/sand made like snowballs and threw two, then left the dream quickly.

• magali // Jan 10, 2011 at 2:07 pm

  I had a dream of a red snake approaching my neck. He seemed to grow long hair which seemed to be all natural and fine to the touch.

• biba // Jan 7, 2011 at 12:45 am

  Dreams of snakes normally signify fertility. It means you are either pregnant or about to be. For a guy I don’t know what it means.

• Jana // Dec 22, 2010 at 11:58 am

  I dreamed that my son had 4 little snakes in a tiny envelope. I wasn’t afraid of them. One may have been a coral snake, others looked like worms. They were not threatening. I told him they needed to be in a bigger envelope so they could breathe easier.

• Gloria // Dec 17, 2010 at 9:38 am

  I dreamed the same dream twice in one night: a long black snake leaped from the side of my computer desktop and bit me on the stomach.

• Mahdieh // Dec 14, 2010 at 11:56 pm

  I dreamed that I was in a house that was my house but it looked like it belonged to a poor person. Then, I saw a bunch of little snakes. After that the snakes turned huge and when I walked to the hallway I saw that a snake had eaten my turtle (even though I don’t really have one) and the turtle was at the end of it’s tail standing up and attempting to walk. My mom came and told me that the turtle was going to die because of the snake’s acid. Then, at the end of the hallway I saw two snakes that were coiled around each other. When I turned around I saw a huge red snake slithering towards me. But for some reason I wasn’t scared. It bit me om my right arm a few inches above my hand. It wasn’t venomous but I remember seeing on Animal Planet how some snakes have teeth that hook inwards and it would be hard to rip them off your self. I kept checking it’s mouth and the teeth weren’t hooked so i pulled it off easily. Please tell me what this means.

  P.S. Before I fell asleep I was crying because my friend informed me that she was moving.

• faith // Dec 14, 2010 at 2:59 am

  In my dream, my sons and I were looking down at a stream of dark water when a black snake bit my oldest son. I then saw two smaller snakes, but they were harmless.

• Judy // Dec 13, 2010 at 6:27 am

  I dreamt that I was mowing the lawn and a yellow garden snake showed up and coiled around my right foot. It somehow bit me, but I also had to fight with it to get it to uncoil off my foot.

• qistina // Nov 30, 2010 at 8:25 am

  I had a dream that I was in school and it had a river near by. It was the last day, so we usually have a celebration. Suddenly a huge green serpent appeared, like really huge! It was like the size of a small two story school. In a flash it bit me and left, and I looked at my hand but the bite mark wasn’t there. When I was on my way home, I was bitten again by the same serpent. It kept following me everywhere I went, but then I woke up. My grandma says this dream means that there is someone who likes me. But I’m not quite sure. This is also the first time I have dreamed about this. Hopefully I won’t have this same dream again. It is scary.

  BTW: the hand that I was bitten on, a week back I sprained it. Could it help? Does it also mean that my hand will heal?

• PIzzaninja // Nov 29, 2010 at 1:25 pm

  I had a dream of a big snake trying to eat a little one, but couldn’t swallow it, and they were struggling… Then I saw the big snake’s head cut off on the ground, but I don’t know whether I’m the one who cut it off.

• Jessie // Nov 26, 2010 at 10:23 pm

  I dreamt I and someone else (never did see the face -it was more like a dark figure) was walking in a park which had a pond with clear sparkling water. As we walked on the pond’s edge and crossed over boards to the other side I began to see snakes swimming under water and especially a long brown snake with large scales and a huge head. The snake was swimming rapidly under water following me as I continued to walk. At one point I saw small wings/arms extend from its head. It never attempted to strike nor hissed but somehow it was menacing. In the middle of the pond was a tiny snake with its body extended and tail curled up and holding its head above water. I woke up at this point.

• Georgia // Nov 26, 2010 at 2:22 pm

  I had a dream I was near water and many many snakes would pop out at me and begin to hiss, threateningly. I went to a bed at some point and an enormous cobra as well as another snake were under the bed, slithering around almost guarding it. When I went back to the water with others, the snakes were gone.

• BeMe // Nov 23, 2010 at 12:32 pm

  I had a dream of walking barefoot on the sand beach As I stepped onto the deck leaving the sand beach behind I “lift up” to the deck and looked down into the ocean water just to see many snakes swimming in the clear to sandy waters. Someone- a lady - dropped a big snake gently between those other snakes for a bath. Big snake was feeling happy for getting to swim! What does that mean?

• MS J // Nov 12, 2010 at 2:00 pm

  I dreamed of a snake the size of an alligator swallowing a cat whole and when it was killed the belly of snake was slit open and the cat was still alive and jump out running. This remind me of Jonah being swallowed by the whale. Can someone please help me interpret it?

• Dannisha // Nov 3, 2010 at 8:50 am

  I dreamed I was standing in a room alone with many snakes all around me. They were on the walls and the floor. The snakes did not attempt to bite me or anything. They appeared to be garden snakes.

• Rob // Nov 2, 2010 at 2:39 pm

  I had a dream I was riding a bike when a rattle snake in the road lunged at me. Slithered around my body under my shirt until it coiled around my neck. Sqeezing tighter and tighter. I was with people I did not know them but they seemed like friends. After awhile they all wanted to leave me there with the snake aroung my neck. I was scared and didnt want them to go. Until another smaller snake came out of the bushes. I jumped, then the rattle snake un-coiled and left. At that point I woke up.

• jessica // Nov 2, 2010 at 1:31 pm

  I had a dream that a red snake was trying to get in under the bottom of the door. I was holding it out by a towel and it was pushing hard at the towel. I could feel how strong it was. At that point I woke myself up.

• Mina // Nov 1, 2010 at 8:52 am

  What does a rattle snake symbolize? it was coiled up, shaking its tail, and looking at me. Then as I looked around I noticed there were more of them crawling out from bushes and shrubs and moving towards me.

• Spot // Oct 22, 2010 at 12:12 pm

  I had a dream where I has trying to hold a snake down just below it’s head with my left hand as it kept twisting and struggling to bite me. It did not bite me.

• Marie // Oct 20, 2010 at 2:57 pm

  I dreamed about a small light green snake. It fell on the ground and then quickly slithered outside and came back as a green cat with no hair on its body. Then I was sitting around a table eating.

• Sabina // Aug 7, 2008 at 10:34 am

  I always dream about snakes. Different shapes, different sizes and I’m always scared. Once a snake bit me, most of the times they just come around me or my house and scare me to death - its like I can’t run or do anything but just sit there and watch. It’s an awful feeling. They are gigantic.
