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.
It usually means that there is a fortune in your future! Which means you can see more money in the future!:)
Are they nightmares? If so, it may mean you are afraid of them. If not,well.....the answers vary. Have you watched any movies on snakes lately or read a book that had snakes in it?Did you go to a zoo and saw snakes and perhaps you cannot seem to forget them? If you believe this is serious, discuss the matter with your family and/or friends. They may be able to help you with your mystery.
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.
Without additional information about the setting and actions in the dream, it is impossible to give a reliable interpretation. In general, a hairy snake of any color is most likely a phallic symbol.
More information is needed to give a meaningful interpretation. Colors in dream are not significant in themselves. A fluorescent green vine would mean something very different from a fluorescent green snake.
Nothing
The snake is representing someone that you know in the real world.
There is not enough information to give a meaningful interpretation of this dream.
It is impossible to provide any meaningful interpretation without knowing what the dream was about. Dream interpretation is not similar to a psychic reading.
This dream has too many possibilities to suggest a single interpretation. The tone and feeling of the dream - peaceful, funny, threatening - are vital to determining meaning. Either the snake or the dog might be threatening or friendly. They might be threatening to each other OR to the dreamer. The colors of the snake and dog might be significant or irrelevant.
From my own understanding, snake means someone doesnt like you.
You are (or you need to be) taking matters into your own hands and resolving a long-standing problem.
See a psychologist.
While it is difficult to suggest a meaningful interpretation based on a single image apart from the rest of the dream, an "adder" is a dangerous snake, and the color red is an additional symbol of danger. Taken together, the dream is likely to be a warning of some sort of danger.
It is necessary to describe a dream before it can be interpreted. Dream interpretation is not the same as clairvoyance or mind reading; no magic is involved. Instead, dream interpretation investigates the meaning of symbols and metaphors found within the images of each dream. Such images and their interpretation are unique to each dreamer.
