Expert in decoding dreams about snakes

Dreams about snakes are not necessarily scary, but rather represent flexibility, change, creativity, and healing, says astrologer and dream interpreter Stephanie Gailing, author of The Complete Book of Dreams. Dreaming about snakes can represent a desire for personal growth, or even hidden desires and temptations. The interpretation of a snake dream will depend largely on the dreamer's thoughts and feelings and the context of the dream itself. Author Stephanie Gailing suggests considering how the dream makes you feel. For example, are you frightened or fascinated by the image of a snake in your dream? Your emotions can also be influenced by how you perceive snakes in real life. If you have a negative association with snakes, your dream about snakes may also bring negative feelings. On the other hand, a person who views snakes in a positive light may have dreams with different feelings about them.



According to professional dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg, author of Dream on It, the context of the dream, regardless of its theme, is the most important factor in decoding the message. “Dreams are messages that you send to yourself to help you become better, so always pay attention to what is said in the dream, or more importantly, what you are thinking in the dream,” Lauri Loewenberg emphasized.

Decoding some common dreams about snakes:



- If you dream of a snake shedding its skin, this dream can signal a change in your personal life. "You may be shedding some old beliefs or attitudes to find a new, better version of yourself," says author Lauri Loewenberg.

- Seeing a snake while walking: can indicate that there is something in your life that you have overlooked and need to address.

- If you see a snake sleeping: can symbolize something lurking or someone in your life that makes you feel anxious, stressed, or insecure.

- If you dream of being attacked by a snake: maybe in life, at some point, somewhere, you also feel attacked or criticized. If you witness a snake attacking someone else, it is a worry about someone you really care about when they are facing difficulties.

In general, snakes bring a feeling of surprise, mystery, curiosity, and sometimes fear. Therefore, dreams about snakes can be the way the human mind reflects the worries about real life.
