What does green snakes in a dream mean and 1 snake turning into a chameleon for a Muslim?

Answer 1

Green is a positive color for a Muslim, signifying Paradise and submission to God's will. But a snake is generally a negative symbol for a Muslim, representing an enemy or adversary. It is interesting that a snake turns into a chameleon, because a chameleon is a lizard that changes color to match its environment. Your description seems to suggest that it might be the green snake that changes color. (This can be true even if in the dream there were two separate snakes, because the second one can represent a change in the first one.) In that case, the symbolism might be that there is someone who appears to be a friend, who appears to be a sincere and pious person, but actually he or she (the snake can represent a female) is changing color, trying to fit in by imitating others, but actually misrepresenting himself. In English the expression to "turn colors' means to betray one's friends. This person could be someone you know and the dream may have occurred because subconsciously or intuitively you are aware that this person is insincere, even before your conscious mind knows anything definite.

Another possibility is that you yourself may not be 100% sincere in some aspect. You would need to examine yourself inwardly, be honest, and ask yourself whether this could be true about you. If it could, then be thankful because the dream is offering a wake-up call and guidance so that you can repent and return to your true colors. You are not a bad person, but you may have been led astray by trying to please other people while forgetting to please God first and foremost. If this is so, it might be because you wanted the approval and friendship of those you admire and so you tried to make yourself appear similar to them, before you were fully deserving of being regarded as being at their level.

My remarks about the meaning of the dream for a Muslim are based on Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams. Normally I am not in favor of dream dictionaries, but in this case it is important to take into account the Muslim culture and values.
