Dream Theme: Snakes

In dreams, snakes usually signify hidden fears and anxieties that threaten the dreamer. The dreamer's subconscious could be alerting the dreamer to a potential danger that he or she is not yet aware of in real life.

To some people, snakes can be a positive symbol. They could represent knowledge, healing or transformation.

Getting bitten by a snake in a dream can signify unconscious concerns about one's health. It can also suggest a frustrated sexual impulse or other suppressed urges and emotions that might be bothering the dreamer.

Being in the coils of a snake might mean that the dreamer is caught in his or her own habits and routines and cannot escape them.
