SNAKE - To see a snake or be bitten by one in your dream, signifies hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced.

What does it mean when a snake cross your path?
When you cross paths with a snake respect the force of their nature. When you lose respect for the snake is when you get bitten. The same is true in life. Snakes teach you to show restraint. They also teach you how to preserve your energy and only strike when you have no other choice. When you cross paths with one remember the significance of being witness to a rare event in our modern world. If you believe in higher meanings realize your connection to the source and follow your path especially when you doubt things the most.

What does it mean to see snake on your car windshied?
Assuming this is a dream, not an unfortunate snake that happened to fall on your car ...
Dreams speak in metaphors, and in contemporary Western culture the snake represents threat, betrayal, temptation or treachery. Snakes can also represent immortality, healing or eternity in different contexts. In this dream, I think the snake is threatening.
The car windshield is protective but also transparent. The driver must be able to see through the windshield in order to drive safely. There is also the element of forward movement.
Putting all of these elements together looks to me like a lack of clarity that threatens the ability to move forward. The dreamer is the driver, and the snake on the windshield blocks the driver's ability to see what is ahead on the road / in the future. It is time to stop the car -- take time out from what you are doing -- and get the snake off the windshield -- get rid of whatever it is that is blocking your vision or causing such a problem that you cannot move forward.
Because you mind chose a snake to block your vision suggests something a bit more deliberate and malicious than, say, a pile of leaves on the windshield or a brick wall. There is the feeling that something or someone is intentionally preventing you from moving ahead.
