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.

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.

So a couple of days ago, I had a weird dream. In that dream, I was walking with my two friends and a snake appeared literally out of nowhere. It started chasing me. I ran. I can’t recall how it disappeared or where it went, but I do remember that after it left, I found something weird In a nearby bush. It was a cat. But it had bat wings. Bat wings.
The cat was injured, and suddenly I just felt a need in helping the poor creature (I always feel a need in helping someone but sometimes I just don’t act). So I picked her up and just ran along with my friends, feeling close to the injured cat. Also, the injury wasn’t noticeable, but I just felt that the animal was in pain.
(And after reading this, I recalled all the events when I’ve met a snake in real life)
I’ve read information about the other spiritual animals, but by reading this one, something like clicked, and I instinctively felt that THIS is my real spiritual animal. It just feels… Right somewhat; no matter if I like it or not.
I wanted to find dis out :3
Recently took some peyote in the desert and came across a rattlesnake. It’s presence calmed me and cleared my mind. A few weeks later I had a dream, in which I caught a rattlesnake and drank it’s blood. Any ideas on symbolism for that?
For several years I had horrible dreams of snakes biting so ferociously that I awoke in physical pain. I had never feared snakes till this. I haven’t had one of these dreams in about a year. Today however I had a powerful encounter with a Garter Snake and I don’t know what to make of it. I was at a wildlife refuge sitting on a rock bridge interacting with my bird friends when I noticed from the corner of my eye a very alert, aware snake approching me inches from my leg. I quickly pulled my legs back, awkwardly stood up and when to the other side if the bridge. Here is where things are really abnormal, it saw me, flicked its tounge and kept coming. It actually slithered to where I had been sitting and hung itself over the edge of the bridge facing away from me. I touched it with a blade of grass as I approached to gather my abandoned belongings in hopes it would hasten it’s journey. It tensed a slight bit and remained where I once sat. It was very warm out and the rocks were all warm. It looked at me as it approached. Um why?
So, I was at Newman Lake a couple days ago when me and my cousins were walking down to the resort to get some snacks. On the way, we saw a snake; I dont know what kind it was. All my life I had been scared of snakes, hated them, and had terrorizing dreams of them when I actually thought about them. This time, I wasnt scared at all, and thats the FIRST time Ive ever not been scared of them. Is this a sign? Does it have a meaning? Was the snake trying to tell me something? Please help me!!!!!!!
.
I walked up to my door the other evening. A snake was laying across the threshold of my door. It eventually went away. What could that mean?

I had a dream that I was in my house alone. I was only a young girl at the time. I was standing inside the front door of out home. I was looking out the Window in the door. I remember being frozen with fear. I saw a giant white python outside the door. It was hissing and looking up at me through the Window. It was trying to get in my house. I remember waking up just as it managed to get itself under the crack in the bottom of the door. I woke up terrified. It was an albino snake…it was about a half a door in thickness it maybe a bit more. Perhaps 2/3 of a door. And about 6 meters long. Someone told me that it was a dream of bad medicine.

I had a dream last night that I was in a house and outside with hundreds of black snakes slithering around the grass, some climbing the walls and the fence. It was night time and I was scared. I got ahold of a black one by the head and it spit at me but I wouldn’t let go. It felt like I had to give the snake to someone.
