Some will try and bite you.” I began to shake. At that moment two more appeared, green and white tail and a red and white tail. I could tell there was something he did not want to tell me. “Will they bite? Is there a snake problem?” He half smiled. I sat up and questioned the two snakes I saw. Suddenly another snake appeared, the tail black and white. He motioned as if to ignore it so we laid on the bed talking about our future, our dreams. The red and white tail of the snake shook a little and I felt slightly freaked out. He began to show me around through the hallway to his bedroom, our bedroom. Old vintage farm house, remolded lovely, cold, and dark. The house felt dark –not enough sunlight shinning through. We wanting to move, I wanted to move up north – Seattle area?! This was his house in that area. The house I realized was his and I was moving in.

I found myself in a house with a familiar partner (my current partner yet the face was a blur). Is the snake in my dream a representation of a repressed emotion or thought? Could the vibrant colorful snakes (ready to strike or not) in my dream actually be a piece of the truth my soul needs to live out in order for my physical self to reveal a truth I have kept hidden in this lifetime? Are my dreams and messages everything I need to be able to continue to move forward down my current path? Or are the snakes in my dream and yours just a mythological symbol representing my current waking issues only shedding light on an aspect of my darkness? Or are these questions being asked just all one in the same. I have noticed that snakes are popping up suddenly for many dreamers and for myself. Is the snake in a dream real or a symbol? I will use the following snake dream as an example to answer this particular question. I bring these questions up now because I am always sensing what dreamers are wondering and seeking for themselves (or at least my guides in waking and dreaming guide me to hear what dreamers are asking). while other dreams may just be our minds venting out what we have sought so hard to bottle up and store away (whether just yesterday or years earlier) wanting to shake ourselves up in waking? Why is it that sometimes we dream and the realness of the dream has truth to it and other times we dream and what we read about the symbology / mythology behind the dream is what reveals the same meaning to us? Are all dreams not real? Are only some dreams a snapshot of our soul traveling to the astral plane, living out it’s (our) true Self…. Creepy crawling, beautiful, intriguing scary snakes… so different to sense when up close and personal in a dream. Some people, some dreamers need a little more push or a little more information before they are able to see, hear, and understand what I intuitively have received instantly. Why wouldn’t it? But I will admit I am also a dream translator that will look at a dream from all angles if when something I see – when I receive an intuitive hit - does not give the dreamer an AHA! moment, feel right, or resonate with dreamer I am guiding at that moment. And Yes those vibrant colors (of energy) on the snakes existed, if you saw it, felt it, sensed it… it was real, it did happen. Yes your fear you felt was as real as your fear may be towards something in your waking reality. Yes your soul did exist in that house filled with snakes within your dream.

If you read my blog you know that I am not the type of dream interpreter that goes directly to the mythology or symbolic meaning of any image, rather I view first from the perspective of how dreams are real, as real as our waking reality – yes your soul did actually soul travel through space passing through and far beyond the existence of time.

But it is the meaning behind the snake that varies from dream to dream and person to person. Snakes appearing in dreams seem to be fairly common for most dreamers.

Dream with lots of snakes
