A dream is a common occurrence in any person's mind and almost every night we dream about something, it's just that we do not remember dreaming anything in the morning. Dreams vary a lot and they do not have any connection between them, even when they are all dreamed in the same night but some of the dreams people have are so called standard dreams. These are dreams that have a heavy connection into the real life and are all triggered by similar events in someone's life, and this is the case with the dreams that contain snakes.
Dreams of snakes have very different interpretations, some of the most common ones state that a snake is a symbol of transformation; different cultures saw different transformations portrayed by the snake. It might be that the snake represents a transition from life to death, a passing into a new stage in life or even the rebirth of someone's personality.
A common situation in which people dream snakes is when they have a friend or a member of a family that is about to die or suffering from a life threatening disease or condition. These dreams come as a result of the added stress and the fear that you'll loose the friend or loved one and are supposed to be linked to the fact that you realize the imminent death of the person.
Roman's interpreted the snake as a medical symbol, as we all know the symbol for medicine is a snake on a staff, the staff of the roman healing God. Amongst the number of interpretations out there the belief that snakes are a symbol of evil is the most deep routed hypothesis of them all, mostly due to the large number of Christians and the popularity of the Adam and Eve story, also some cultures see the snake as a phallic symbol.
Dreaming of snakes is often a single time experience, but some people can experience reoccurring dreams and these really are a problem. Repeating dreams mean that there is something wrong in your life, and repeating snake dreams mean that you have an issue that has remained unresolved and dealing with these dreams is often done through lucid dreaming, where you are recommended to ask the snakes why are they bothering you, if a hostile situation arises then you must do anything in your power to overcome the difficulty. Try to dream all the way to the end, this is crucial for a quick solution to the dream. Solutions depend on your feelings towards the snakes in the dream and their location, a good memory of what happened in the dream is what is desired.
One of the latest interpretations of the snake dream is that it represents a problem in your sex life and also a problem in your general life. Try to examine whatever is troubling you at the moment and pay close attention to your feelings when going to bed at night.
