In Ancient Greek, the word for poison and medicine is the same. Even though the presence of a venomous snake in your dreams may be scary, you are invited to understand poison as medicine. Snakes are scary in part because of their venom. When a snake presents itself to you through your dreams, you are connecting with the symbology of the snake. In any case, you are invited to open to the journey of transformation.

Perhaps you’re letting people know you’re poisonous or not. Or consider where in your life your messaging about yourself is no longer serving you.

Where in your life do you need to shed your skin? Consider where in your life your boundaries between yourself and others no longer serve you. Their skins tell you if they are poisonous or not. A snake is known by the patterns of its skin and scales. Skin represents the boundary between the body and the world. Where in your life do you need to shed your skin? Where do you need to be reborn or transformed? Their skin no longer fits their body and needs to be shed. If you are dreaming of snakes and are seeking out their meaning, then discovering their meaning for you will lead to potent effects in your life. Regardless of interpretation, snakes are an extremely potent dream symbol. The meaning of snakes in dreams varies with how they show up, how you feel about them, and your personal associations of the symbol.
