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.
Meditation to connect with your snake spirit animal
Take a deep breath in and breathe out. Close your eyes and let yourself relax into a peaceful state. Listen to the sound of your own breath, and allow all other distractions to drift away.
Imagine yourself standing in the middle of a lush green forest. Feel your feet firmly planted on the ground, and sense the warmth of the sun beaming down from above. Look around and find a tall, strong tree with its roots deeply embedded in the soil. This is a sacred tree; it holds great wisdom for you today if you are willing to listen closely.

An inspiring message from your spirit animal
Hear my silent whisper,
As I slither and glide,
I am the spirit of transformation,
The serpent by your side.
From the depths of the earth,
I rise to guide your way,
Through the trials and tribulations,
Of each and every day.
With my venom,
I bring healing,
And the power to let go,
Of the old and the worn,
And to welcome the new.
With my scales,
I remind you,
To trust in your own strength,
And to face your fears head-on,
With courage at length.
So heed my call, dear life traveler,
And allow me to guide,
Through the journey of self-discovery,
And to help you rise inside.

I had a dream there where two snakes on a fence then they fell off the fence and ran off under some hay. Hmm what that mean
Well, I just had a dream that I got bit by a scarlet kingsnake, twice for that matter. I’m wondering what that could mean.
I had a dream about being somewhere outside during the day. As I stood still in one spot, a slim long small snake came out of my bottom lip and dropped to the ground then crawled away. I stood there just looking at it with no fear. I was not afraid, even after seeing the snake come from my lip, fall, then crawl towards the grass. I am afraid of every insect tiny or big, doesn’t matter, and definitely a snake coming out of my lip is not on the menu. In real life this would be terrifying, however again in this dream, NO FEAR. So now I’m like, what just happen, and why wasn’t I afraid.
Well…I don’t know if you’d like a response. But I liked to say something. My thought was …..is it possible that in your waking world …that there may be some fear around an issue that may be going on,and that the dream in which you had is ….well ..pretty powerful I must say… whatever it means. Maybe something needs to be said and some fear around what might happen as the result. Well…heck if i know!! although.. I dont believe that it matters ..the issue that is…its the message…which could suggest. That There’s no reason to fear ..Anything!!
the morning the super moon was setting I couldn’t sleep. It was 530 in the morning and I decided to start hiking. just as a grandmother moon is setting behind the mountains Who missed decide to join me and have breakfast. This moment I decided that I would like to learn my animal totem. Last night I was visited by a snake. In my dream I woke up during the middle of the night and got out of bed to a snake sleeping on the floor beside me. I was startled but I just got back into bed and went to sleep. What does all I remember from the dream besides the snake having beautiful reddish orange colored triangles on his skin.
I’m still learning and interpreting the meanings and surroundings of my journeys. But just the other day I was in a meadow, with 3 animals. None of which are my guide, but anyway… of these was the snake (bear and jackalope). I have a structured idea of why they were present now after having read the meanings here. Thank you for the information :)
I am 7 weeks pregnant ..i have lost 4 before this one …but for 2 nights i have been dreaming of rattle snakes every where in my grandmas house every where i looked there was a snake …and some family was there but they would not look at me all i could see was the back of them …i would try to talk to them but it was like they didnt know i was there ….
During a long massage, the image and fluidity of a black snake with a red mark across its neck appeared repeatedly. After a day of medical board exams. I am humble. I am renewed. I am curious.
Encountered a large (4-5 foot) bull snake that had been living in the garden shed, apparently all winter this year. And apparently while I was contemplating having an affair, which I did not, thankfully. I think the bull snake showed up to tell me I made the right choice. But I killed it anyway, thinking it was a rattler.
I few nights ago,I had a dream that I was in this two story house. The snakes were coming from underground, thru openings in the house, just everywhere! Different shapes and sizes. I remember my son and cousin were in the house, other family too but I don’t remember faces. I would call out to them for help. No matter where I was in the house, snakes were coming at me. But the snakes never got to me. I had a lengthy conversation with a guy that I recently met and we like each other a lot. Could that have anything to do with the dream? Or could it be about family? It was so vivid and I woke up so afraid! I’ve always believed that snakes were evil. Snakes=Serpents=Satan. Please help me shine light on this dream. I can’t stop thinking about it.
During my dream I walked out my front door and looked towards my car. Underneath were several snakes, python/boa types, ranging in size and length. My wife was in the car with the door open and I was like “close the door” but she said, as a larger one raised up with his head moving inside towards her, I want to see what he wants… then I woke up…
I get out my room I see a snakes laying down in front of my bedroom and here come a black cat was coming towards the room the snake scared the cat away what that mean please.
