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 is the product obtained from the snake star?
People don't really obtain a product from Snake Stars.
In the underwater ecosystem, Snake Stars pretty much attach themselves to black corals.

What does it mean for a Hindu to have dreams about a snake?
People seem to ask about dreams of snakes more than any other dream image. Yet snakes can symbolize many different things, from betrayal to regeneration. The dreamer's religious context can have a strong influence on dreams, but the larger cultural context (modern Western society vs. traditional India) also effects the meaning of one's dreams. No meaningful interpretation is possible from either perspective without further information about the type and location and actions of the snake in the dream.
