Snake spirit animals, symbols for healing
The snake is close to earth energies and represents life force. Since it’s a reptile, the snake spirit animal is reminiscent of unconscious drives and primal instincts. When the snake spirit animal shows up, pay attention to how you use your energy, and where you draw it from.
If you see the snake as your spirit or power animal, be sensitive to your healing abilities towards yourself or others. Cultivate sources of energy and support, especially as they relate to the earth and nature.
In ancient traditions as well as modern times, snakes are symbols of healing powers and opportunities. In the Greek mythology, Aesclepius, the god of medicine, is featured with two snakes climbing up a rod, the symbol of what is known today as the Caduceus.

The snake and spiritual guidance
The snake can symbolize spiritual guidance. The presence of the snake in your life often means that you are in a period of transition and it points to ways promote your personal growth.
Snake could appear as a spirit animal when you are stepping into the unknown and need support to move forward. This animal is typically close to the ground and can remind you of staying grounded as you move through changes.
Dream interpretation of snakes
When a snake appears in your dreams, it most likely acts as an animal spirit guide inviting you to look at important facts or dynamics that are impacting your life. Snakes featured in dreams often leaves a strong impression on the dreamer: Such dreams tend to be frightening or disturbing because they call on strong unconscious energy.
Whether the snake spirit animal featured in your dream leaves a positive or negative impression, its presence should be considered as an invitation to look at positive changes and transformation.
The dark side of snakes in dreams
When the snake appears in your dream leaves you with a negative feeling, make sure you consider positive meanings as well. The snake spirit animal often appears in dreams as a warning about personal struggles and the need to pay attention to things or events that are escaping your field of awareness.
For instance, when you dream of being bitten or attacked by a snake, it could mean that you need to be careful about important matters you’ve been ignoring so far. If the spirit animal featured in your dream in the shape of a snake is chasing you, it may represent a challenging situation or relationship that you have been avoiding and is pushing you around.
The bottom line is that a dream featuring a snake invites you to check what in your life is “poisonous” and to look at important matters before they sneak up on you and create more damage or difficulty.

The other night I was dreaming that me and my sister were driving on a dirt road in the middle of the grassy plains of the South western United States, and the vehicle broke down, so we got out and began to walk. There were a lot of Rattlesnakes all spread out, 3 of them bit me, one of them bit me twice, once on the leg, once on the hand, and there was another that just sat there and watched me. I felt calm, serene even. We were in the middle of no where, but we made several trips to a medicine woman who treated me for the snake bite. I do not understand why these snakes came to me in a dream, What are your thoughts?
I was sitting in a rocky place and grey snakes were lying on the rocks, one
came up toward me, I was not afraid, then they disappeared. I lay down and fell asleep. When I stood up fro the rocks, someone in my dream told me I had a snake
attached to my neck and hidden down my shirt, wrapped around me. I pulled it off
but it had suctioned cupped it’s mouth to my neck and left a mark. Then I woke up.
I also had a dream involving a snake.in this dream i was alone in a jungle, moon high in the sky.i heard a hiss behind me and turned around to find a totally white snake on the rock next to me about head hight. I held out my arm to greet it i guess and it came along my arm as if i were a branch then to the ground. I awoke to my alarm. I not the one to be afraid of snakes, but this was about the time i started to see a bit of the spiritual nature one might experience. Any thoughts?
I had a dream that a snake was coming up from behind my bed, so therefore it was a nightmare. So I woke up I thought, and got out of the bed, and walked to my dressers,then I turned and looked back and the snake was still coming from behind the bed, and I was still laying there. I looked in my grandmother’s room from my room, then I heard a voice tell me to”lay down”. So I walked back and laid down and actually woke up and I was laying exactly how I was when I seen myself laying there.
I was running down a hallway and started banging on a door to help me, I turned around and the snake was coming for me. It was long, black and scary. It bit me on the right calf and I started to die. But I didn’t die I was just getting really sick.
I had a dream a couple nights ago. I was in a field and heard a loud rattle snake. I immediately jumped over a wall. All of the sudden, a very dear close personal friend came running through the field yelling my name. I yelled out to him there was a snake. It was to no avail. The rattle snake charged at my dear friend and bit him. I hopped back over the wall, ran to him, and killed the snake. I didn’t provide comfort to my pal…stating, “It’s very bad..you’re going to die.” One of my last thoughts before the dream ended was, I was happy to be alive and smart to have jumped that wall when I first heard that nasty rattler rattling..what does this all mean?
I always dream of being completely surrounded by all kinds and sometimes they go to strike at me but i always wake up before it does. Like the last thing i see is it coming to my face. Hence why covering my face is the first thing i do when i see one.
