Serpent Dream Meaning

To have a dream of a serpent reminds me of the tower tarot card, in that there are hidden fears that you need to overcome. It is also a dream of healing and the actual act of the serpent in the dream is important. I have read many dream psychologist reports, Freud and Carl Jung and they have both said that this is a dream of transformation. It is also suppose to be about renewed personal growth.

If you had a dream of a serpent then this is a positive dream, it indicates for some that you are spiritually grounded but it can also mean that things in life will work out. I have seen this dream many times for people who have contacted me over the last 30 years and in every case this is a positive dream.

If you are wondering, the serpent in a dream is a figure that can be either male or female, or neither. This can show the dead rising, or even the awakening or awareness of spiritual connections.

What does a serpent mean in your dream?

If a male dreams of a serpent, then this can show a difficulty in understanding females. The bearer of this dream is also confused about future successes. When the power of nature is understood fully, this dream shows that you can harness the power. Sexuality and sex is also demonstrated in this dream, suggesting that sometimes you need to be spiritually awakened in order to achieve everything that you wish in life. Representation of eternal life depends upon the color of the serpent in your dream.

A black serpent shows that sometimes it is not possible and you should not doubt what sex you are born with. In a woman's dream the serpent can carry weight in terms of preventing her from wanting sexual encounters. As the serpent has a distinct attachment with the Garden of Eden, this dream can also act as a warning for trickery that will go against your life in the future. This dream will highlight any injustices that exist in your life, and you should be inspired to work towards these in the future.
