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.

❤️ Feelings

The presence of a snake in a dream can also elicit feelings of vulnerability or a need for self-protection. Additionally, it may signify transformation or change, stirring up mixed emotions of both fear and excitement. Overall, the dream of a snake often leaves a lingering sense of discomfort and uncertainty.

Building (Action)
Fear
Snake
Violence and death

Dream

I was in a community of people. I watched one man brutally kill every single one of them except for me. He was extremely powerful. He saw me but didn’t kill me because he liked me. He said that he liked me. Then I met his wife. She was very mentally unstable and homicidal just like him. She wanted her husband to be loyal to her and was paranoid. She lost her temper and killed someone and me and my family happened to be there. My mother and i wanted to prevent more death so we walked will her and talked with her as if we were her friends. She calmed down and started to like me. Inside I was scared of her and her husband but kept calm. We kept walking and she kept talking with me. Then we ran into her husband. She got really angry again and I watched her kill her husband. I figured she would kill again with how unstable she was. But as I saw her kill her husband I saw two snakes fight one another viciously. The snakes were fighting until one finally bit the others neck until it died. Then I transported into an empty room with me and my sister. We were playing a game with our friends. Me and my sisters task was to build a wall around ourselves so that the other team cannot get through it or catch us. I created a hardened sand and built a very sturdy wall. The time was running out and I was looking for blind spots and I found one but it was too late to fix so I covered it instead hoping the team would not find it. I was able to easily get through the wall I built to the center. Then the other team came in to try to find their way through the barrier we built. They tried relentlessly but could not. While they were trying to get through my sister started asking me personal questions. She asked my why I was so obsessive and sometimes crazy. I told her that it’s because when you want something so bad, you are willing to do anything to get it. I told her that because my desires are so strong, I cross some lines. The challenge ended and my sister and I won. The other team could not get through. They asked me how I could build such a fortified wall and I tried my best to show them, and then I left the came and met the homicidal lady who killed her husband again. She took me by the hand and told me that she heard the words I said to my sister. She told me that she understands me completely and that I am beautiful. I was a little worried that a crazy woman identifies with me but it felt good to be understood.

Dream

Had a dream where it seems a force was after my mom. We were walking on a sunny day outside of what looked like various stores. Two of my aunties were not feeling too well and mom were notified about this. The dream then changed to living room & bed room. Mom was sitting on a couch telling me she was only one person and she could take but so much. I promised then to protect my mom. Mom then lied down to go to sleep. Various manisfestations started appearing and I started fighting. A young caucasian couple helped me too at the end. I think they were from a scary movie where they had to fight as well. I walked out of the room where mom was sleeping & i peeper in every now & then from the living room but i did go too far. In the bed next to my mom’s was what looked like a baby but i knew better. It was something sinister that looked like a baby. I grabbed it & threw it onto the floor and punch it until it was no longer there. One of my aunts was surprised cuz she thought it was a baby but i told her it wasnt. I looked back in my moms room & a lady that looked like my mom was lying next to her but she was much, much older & she had grey hair. She was holding my mom s hands. I immediately pulled her off my mom & folded her in half as if she were clothing. My mom seemed peaceful. But then, as she slept, two small snakes appeared in the nearby bed. I immediately grabbed them & pulled them apart. I even bit them. Several others were on moms blanket. Me & the young couple started pulling them off mom s blanket and destroying them. I woke up knowing that although i may be battling through grief & my own battling with my sexuality, i know that my mom too is grieving. While i lost my grandpa and grandmother, they were here parents for 60 plus years. I woke up knowing that i would fight for my mom & i know i need to fight for myself too

I had this really Weird dream and have been trying to figure out what it means it had a copper head snake and a ball python the small ball python was eating the huge ass copperhead and they had three green baby snakes this was all happening in my garage in the the snake cage my boyfriend was there ( there is actually a snake in a cage in my garage a small ball python) and at some point the snakes made like a circle and the copper head that was being eaten was visibly seen trying to tear through the ball python’s stomach then the two became one and it was horrifying that’s when I realized there were baby green snakes. The monster tried to attack me or bite me several times and a soft block with a pillow I think always stopped it omg it was scary I ran away eventually and the whole time my boyfriend was there. I wish I knew what the hell that meant.
