Dreams communicate through symbols which have unique meaning for each individual dreamer. To one person, a snake could represent "a snake in the grass," that is, someone or something that is not to be trusted. But to another dreamer, the snake could suggest the caduceus, the symbol of medicine and healing. Alternatively, at this time (December 2010,) a python might be seen in dreams after seeing the recently released Harry Potter movie, "The Deathly Hallows, Part 1," in which the python Nagini is vividly portrayed.

Dreams are a function of the subconscious.

Symbols have different meanings to different social groups. It therefore depends on the group to which you belong what those symbols mean.

For someone that has no knowledge of the group to which a person belongs and to claim to be able to interpret those symbols is nonsense.

Dreams mostly mean nothing and are a function of the subconscious mind. We know little of the conscious mind. Those people that claim to be able to interpret the subconscious are charlatans, playing upon the insecurities of people in need real support. Either for financial gain or kudos.

What does a albino and grey and black snakes mean in your dream?

The colors of the snakes in this dream may not be as significant as what the snakes are doing, or the context in which the snakes are seen. Because snakes have many different and contradictory symbolic meanings, the context and emotional tone of the dream are critical in discerning its meaning. For example, snakes can represent dishonesty, evil, and treachery, but they can also symbolize healing, regeneration and medical practice.

Well, it could be that you are feeling as though you need to try and control something. The snakes could represent a difficult situation in which you are trying to control. I dream of snakes too, but it is usually that they are every where you look and I have some kind of weapon.

What does it mean when three snakes crawl away from you in your dream?

It depends on what type of snakes you are seeing in the dream. Pythons, Adders, Cobras and Boas all come with different meaning. However, (if it helps any) if the snakes are crawling away from you in the dream it means the problem/issues that first caused them to appear is dwindling. Anything moving away from you in a dream indicates predator 'retreat'. In other words, danger is averted.

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

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.
