What does it mean when you dream about a black and orange striped snake?

Answer 1

Snakes are often seen as symbols of life, death and rebirth. In North American native tribes, the shedding of the snake's skin is associated with life and a new beginning.

Snakes are also seen as symbols representing evil. The Bible uses the symbol of the serpent in the Garden of Eden to represent Satan. In other cases the snakes is seen as a phallic symbol.

Recurring dreams indicate a fear or an unresolved issue. One way to deal with the recurring dream of the snakes is to try lucid dreaming. This is when you become conscious in your dream and are aware that you are dreaming. If you are able to do this, then ask the snakes what it is they want and why you keep dreaming about them? If the snakes are hostile and you are afraid in the dream then face the snakes and master the situation in some way. Seeing the dream through to the end is important in overcoming it.

You will have to look at your dream in its entire context and determine how you felt about the snakes in the dream. You should also look at the other associations in the dream.

Answer 2

Snakes have a number of different and even contradictory symbolic meanings. The colors orange and white have no particular significance in snakes or of themselves, other than perhaps being less threatening than black or angry red or poisonous green. If the snake in the dream is quite realistic, it might be a "creamsicle" corn snake, which is pale peach and cream colored and raised as a pet. (see photos in website linked below.) Symbolically, if you dream was scary, the dream snake symbolizes your fears and anxieties. But snakes can also represent healing and regeneration, so the snake in this dream could indicate an improvement in health or a more positive, healing attitude.
