A professional dream interpreter explains what’s happening when you dream about snakes, and what that could mean for the near future
A professional dream interpreter has an explanation for why you may be seeing snakes in your dreams.
They’re sweet and slithery and apparently have a very significant meaning when they pop up in your subconscious, according to Athena Laz, the author of “The Alchemy of Your Dreams.” Her job is to help individuals figure out why they’re seeing the same patterns and symbols night after night.
Laz says that if you’re dreaming about snakes often, there’s actually a good explanation that may reveal something about your personality or your current situation in life. Snakes live on every continent, and nearly every culture has its own interpretation of the animal, but a lot of these theories are recurring and can be seen across folk stories.
You’re ready for some change and transformation! This is often a positive meaning, although sometimes situations can change for the worst, but generally these critters have long been associated with healing. While they make be scary to so many individuals, snakes have always been prized for their venom, which can heal and hurt people – which is why you see it on medical symbols. But the most important thing about snakes that most people overlook is their ability to shed their skin and grow.
