What Does Snake Mean in Dream Interpretation?
Dreaming of a snake means a hidden threat — or a transformation. Fear decides which.
The snake carries two ancient readings: deception and renewal. It hides in grass, and it also sheds its skin.
Your reaction in the dream sorts them out. Fear points to the warning; calm interest points to change and shedding an old self.

Frequently asked questions
Is dreaming of a snake always bad?
No. The snake means transformation as often as it means threat. What settles it is whether you were afraid in the dream.
What does a snake bite mean in a dream?
A betrayal, or a remark that hurt more than you let on. It points at something that has already happened rather than something ahead.
