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.
Feel your body connect with this ancient tree; feel how it radiates strength and stability as you draw closer to it. Now, look up at its branches as they twist and turn up towards the sky like an ever-changing tapestry. Amongst its leaves, you spot something glistening – it’s a snake! The sun reflects off its smooth scales, creating dazzling patterns that seem almost magical in nature.
Welcome this snake spirit animal, for it comes bearing important messages of transformation and awareness of what lies in the shadows. Listen to what the snake has to say, and find courage within its silent wisdom. As you observe this part of yourself, let its teachings guide you toward new beginnings and a greater understanding of your own inner power.
Looking more closely at the snake and its graceful movements, you feel deeply connected to its energy. Allow your awareness to travel through each scale one by one, noticing any area of potential growth or transformation.
The snake spirit animal stands for ancient wisdom and creative power; it symbolizes death and rebirth, going beyond boundaries and limitations. It encourages you to be more aware of your innermost thoughts and feelings and what lies beneath the conscious level of your being. The snake is also a representation of healing – both physical and emotional.
Use this moment to allow yourself to be guided by the power of this spirit animal. Feel how it can shift the energy in your body; notice any areas that feel heavy or stuck, allowing the serpent’s energy to move through you and help release any tension or resistance.
Feel the grounding energy it brings, connecting you with your inner wisdom and strength. Now is the time for self-reflection – take note of anything that comes up during this meditation, whether a thought or an emotion – and explore these feelings further if need be.
As you bring this meditation to a close, feel your feet firmly rooted to the ground, and imagine a wave of energy undulating through you from your feet all the way up to the top of your head. Notice any release or expansion that comes with this wave, and take some time to just be present in this moment.
Thanks to the snake spirit animal for its wise teachings, and acknowledge all you have learned. When you are ready, slowly open your eyes. You feel refreshed and connected to the wisdom of the snake within yourself as you take this knowledge with you into your day.
An inspiring message from your spirit animal
Hear my silent whisper,
As I slither and glide,

And to welcome the new.

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 used to have odd dreams as a child. Two that I can remember involved a massive swarm of snakes, from vipers to emerald tree boa. What meaning could that convey for a 7 and 9 year old kid?
I had the same type of dreams a a kid. Now i just dream with one, never the same type of snake, but they usually show up in my bed while im asleep. I’ve never figured out what this could mean.
Today morning around 430 am I was dreaming that is bought a snake as a pet and made a pet home for it ,what does this mean

My dream: a dark color snake (not black), was climbing for the wall up to the ceiling and kept trying going up and up, and the ceiling didn’t let it go higher. The head and part of the body almost fell in the process, but it never fell to the ground. Stay in the top.
Last night i dreamt I was in woodland with friends and my fiancée it was evening and we were chatting and drinking tea, I looked up over a friends shoulder and there was a large black and red stripe snake wound round a long branch of a tree. It was just watching and eventually 2 of the group removed it and put it in some shtubs so it was away from the group and unharmed it didn’t return and I was calm but the dream has stuck with me all day.

Around 4 year ago I became fascinated with snakes, I’ve always been an animal person but more toward the furry variety, around the time my fascination began I was in a dark place mentally, as the years went on and my snake collection grew, I became more confident and noticed a huge change in myself and my life, I now have a job that I love, in a house that I love, with the person I love and after reading this I’m convinced it is through the snake spirit guiding me through my hardship. For that I am eternally grateful.
Again, as with Daddy Long Legs, when I was younger I was fascinated with snakes. When I was only in kindergarten, my brother had a very young ball python and an older albino Python.
The ball python adored me. As she was too small to choke me (although at the time I wouldn’t have even worried about that if she were), I often let her lay across my shoulders. She tended to sleep that way or curled up on my chest. That loving snake never even hissed at me, much less tried to strike at me.
The albino Python was much, much bigger, big enough to kill me then to be completely honest, so my brother would never let me even pet him. The albino always seemed to get out of his tank, only to sleep on my bed (then I slept with my parents as I was too scared of the dark to sleep alone) or on my car seat which was in the van he somehow managed to get into.
Needless to say, I was immensely attached to the Ball Python, so when she began to get sick and refused to eat, I was sad. My brother tried to coerce her into eating with a live mouse rather than frozen ones.
The mouse escaped; I later found it in my toybox, and for some reason I cannot fathom, I was terrified of the mouse–I’m an animal person, I’ve never been afraid of an animal! Especially not a tiny mouse.
I’m not sure if me having a link to snake spirit animals is a factor, but the ball python escaped her tank for the first time to fall into a sleep on my chest that she never awoke from.
Now I’m starting to wonder if it was because of having an affinity for the snake spirit animal, or if she simply felt safer to pass away in my presence.
