Snake bite

Snake Bite Dream

Snake Biting Dream Meaning

Can you remember the snake featured in Adam and Eve? The snake deceives Eve into eating the fruit from the forbidden tree. They had both sinned and wanted to hide from God after being tempted by the snake. Both Adam and Eve are banished by God into the wilderness and the Tree of Knowledge is destroyed. 

They both just wanted love! To be together, to be united. The bite of the apple is the same symbolic bite that has hit you in the dream. The most worrying dangerous relationship is the one whereby we cannot see the reality of a situation. There is a saying God hears all conversations that we cannot hear. Someone might seem kind, caring, honest, and even loving but hidden behind that person is something that we cannot see. People take advantage of our need to be loved, hugged, and comforted. They are the lovers that are secretly married or the friends that gossip and talk about us behind our backs. These people are not there for us, they are there against us. Dreams of a snake bite have significant spiritual connotations and I am here to help you uncover what they are. 

Snakes are considered evil, when you see a snake bite in a dream you know that there is something you need to know! Snakes are present in the bible as symbols. Moses fled from the serpent in (Exodus 4:2-3) and also Moses' rod turned into a serpent. At that point, Moses ran away. The serpent was a symbol of evil in the Garden of Eden and this is why Moses knew that the snake was evil. Symbolically, there will always be someone slithering in the background of your life when you dream of a snake bite. Snakes themselves are considered to be an omen that you are going through an anxious time due to someone being deceitful. Questions you need to ask yourself: Are you understanding situations in your life or maybe there is something you need to know?

What does it mean to dream of a non-venomous snake bite?

There are around 3500 snakes that are nonvenomous if they bite. Generally, if you are bitten by a snake that is not poisonous you are likely to survive - this is the same symbolically. As I've already outlined snakes represent hidden people that wish to do harm. The largest non-venomous species of snake is known as the four-lined snake. This is because they have four lines on the body and they feed on mice and rats. If the snake was non-venomous then I don't think this is a particularly good omen but a spiritual message. As I've already discussed in my youtube video above snakes themselves inject venom within the dream which is connected to how you are healing as a person. It can suggest that you going to go through an emotional storm but are finding it difficult to heal yourself. As I have already outlined most of the snakes in the world are considered harmless. If multiple snake bites you and it is not poisonous then this can suggest a minor problem with somebody close. The snakes that “bite” you generally consist of sea snakes, coral snakes, and basically what is known as colubrid snakes.

The dream is a warning to protect yourself from dangers in life. In the story of the garden in Eden we see the power of immortality which is stolen by a snake. The snake itself is also associated with the renewal of life, the cycle between life and death. In some dream dictionaries, nonvenomous snakes mean that deceit will not be as bad in the long run - it is there to teach you!  Remember, in the Bible God warned Adam not to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge. The snake itself was God's created animals, therefore, throughout all the poison or no poison we will grow with life. 

What does it mean to dream of a venomous or poisonous snake biting?

The poison from snakes in a dream is spiritually associated with how we heal from an emotional storm. Think about the snakebite itself. Was it poisonous? If the snake clutched onto your flesh think of this as symbolically injecting healing. If we turn to the Bible (because I love the biblical meaning of dreams) we can see Mark 16:18 whereby if you drink anything poisonous it would not hurt you. He was able to handle snakes with safely. This is fantastically interesting, it can mean that no matter who poisons you in life in the end you will be safe. You will be protected! 

Interestingly, only 600 snakes are venomous. Venom can only be delivered enough to kill from specifies of Bothrops or Crotalus and it is rare to die from a snake bite. 

The most poisonous snake lives in Australia and is known as Inland Taipan. These snakes inject 0.025 mg/kg of poison - followed by the yellow-bellied snake. Many snake experts believe the black mamba is the world's most dangerous snake as it is aggressive. As I have said in my youtube video that Paul in the bible (Acts 28.3) was bitten by a snake after making a fire. He was not expecting the snake to appear from the fire - and everyone criticized him afterward as said he deserved the snake bite. Watch out for those people that are critical of you is the key message of this dream.

Is dreaming of a snake bite good or bad?

You can probably gather from what I have said so far, the dream of a snake bite is essentially a warning and an alert and in a dream, is not considered a positive omen in most dream dictionaries. It is all about control and power, and deceit. After all, snakes are evil in the bible. Don't fear though, it is a dream which is trying to alert you to be on guard. The snake is an omen, a symbol of so many cultures.

The snake bite is considered to be a growth sign. In that, you will grow in life from experiencing such a dream. The bite itself represents a new beginning like the death card in the tarot pack - and you should prepare yourself for change. Think about your inner desires and what you wish to prepare in life. Often, I see this dream when we are experiencing something toxic. Removal of a relationship with a friend or lover. If the dream of a snake bite was terrifying then this can suggest you have reached a point in life where you need to focus on the positive things.

Civilization has for centuries been aware of the danger of the snake bite, everyone fears hostile things, and people have learned that snakes can result in distress, pain, and even death. The very word that we use is "venom" which has a somewhat sinister conflation. With the accumulation of all my lovely dream books I have now collected I have spent ages writing this interpretation. Please scroll through as I think I have covered most dreams of the snake bite here. In ancient Egyptian times, the venom was actually used in medicine and the agents in the venom were included in Greek medical writings and papyri. The reason that I mention this fact is because the snake bite spiritually might be venomous but secretly it is a lesson you need to learn in life. 

The presence of a snake or serpent in your dream indicates that it is important to harness your energies. It can mean temptation but in my experience represents a person in your life.

In dreams, when asking the question is this a good or bad dream there is something you need to know. We sometimes encounter fear of snakes. In fact, snakes are one of the most popular dreams that we have. Why? I will try to answer this question but it is clear that the snake itself is presented in our waking lives all the time. Spiritually, in ancient dream books, they believe that being bitten by a snake can be associated with a possible realization in life, and you will suddenly encounter a difficulty which will quickly and swiftly come about - much like a snake bite. You may be feeling bitterness, which has resulted from problems in your life.

In order to make it as easy as possible to interpret the dream of a snake bite, it is important to understand the surroundings of this dream and your actual feelings at the time of seeing the snake.

A quick summary: to dream of a snake bite can represent the following: fear and fascination, a huge impact in life, a threat or alternatively temptation. The most important aspect of this dream is that a snakebite represents immediate, quick emotions. In ancient times, around 380 BC the most common hazard in Egypt was being bitten by a snake. During this time treatments would involve spells, incarnations, and also spiritual rituals. It was believed that snakebites would poison not only the physical being but also the spiritual. From a superstition perspective in the Middle Ages, the toxins from viper bites were thought to engage our inner spirit.

It wasn’t until the Italian physician Franscisco Red in 1698 uncovered that snakes have venom and that this is connected to the weight, dose, and toxicity of the snakebite. Going back to the spiritual interpretation during this time, the snake bite was connected to the feeling of bitterness, which was a result of problems in life. I have outlined all this information because I believe that it is important to recognize that spiritually you may undergo a difficult time, but you need this experience in order to grow. A snake bite in a dream refers to patterns you have developed in your waking life.

What is the spiritual meaning of a snake bite?

The snake bite is connected to our own inner respect and forgiveness. Once a snake actually shows its fangs in your dream and they are removed from your flesh the bite is over. However, it is the venom that remains without forgiveness and it could kill you. This is what may endanger you in your dream. Spiritually speaking a snake bite is supposed to have a negative effect on your spiritual soul. The venom is a spiritual representation of “not forgiving others.” It’s important that you ponder this concept when you have encountered a dream of being bitten by a snake. Often these types of dreams occur when we are finding it difficult to overcome a problem or situation in life.

There are basic meanings within dream dictionary books but the most prevalent spiritual association of the dream is that you need to show forgiveness. Most importantly self-forgiveness. Try to feel at peace with yourself. If you are encountering any guilt or shame it can carry what is known as a low vibration and effectual life force. This consequently creates low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and worry. Spiritually, I believe that the snake bite dream is a wake-up call to restoring your own life force back to you - in regards to what I call a healthy balance. A more practical viewpoint is that forgiving other people will help you forgive yourself.

What does it mean to dream of a snake's teeth/fangs?

If the snake itself displayed its posterior maxillary teeth which is the official term for snake “rear fangs” then someone is going to make their importance known to you. It can often indicate a decision needs to be reached. It is very difficult to uncover what somebody is actually like when you first meet them. You have to look and serve them in different and very awkward situations. I often believe that watching and listening to somebody over a long period of time will allow you to sum them up. By dreaming of the snake's teeth it can often indicate that you could meet somebody who will not appear to be themselves. For example, it could be a neighbor or someone at work.

This person could be pillars of the local community and this will result in you experiencing what we call “icon intimidation.” This basically means that you will judge this person on their own merits and that what they do for the community can sometimes screw your own judgment. This person will be what I call a “persona non grata” and you will not be able to uncover their true character. Often snake bites appear when we are about to be attacked by somebody unknown.

Why do we dream of a snakebite?

There are various emblems that have snake symbolism. We also need to turn to the biblical story of the Garden of Eden which I mentioned before. Biblically, snakes have been connected with deception and also trickery as well of course with temptation. Dream psychologists believe that the snake bite dream was connected to our sexual urges and Sigmund Freud the famous dream psychologist from the 1930s believed that the snake was known as a phallic symbol. This means the snake itself is basically your own enslavement of your passions. This moves me to the question of what does the snake bite can imply in your dream? If I return to dream analysts snakes are connected to our own hidden unconscious thoughts and beliefs and the snake bite dream can help you better understand the problems that you face in waking life.

What is the detailed interpretation of the snake bite?

The details around your dream are important when understanding the meaning. If you have encountered any threat from the snake in your dream, this is an indication that you are finding it difficult to cope with your subconscious mind. You may find in life everything is content and happy, but underneath there are some things that are concerning you. There are various factors that you need to consider when seeking an interpretation.

Generally, the image of either a snake or serpent represents your power within. It is important to understand that this dream equals some kind of emotional storm in your life, normally as mentioned in the opening sentences above, around relationships and energy. Dreaming of a snake in the grass that jumps at you and bites you means that you are going to hear the news that will upset you, and which involve frustration, regret, and depression.

If you are swallowed by a snake, then this means you need to consider your reasons for thinking negatively, and you need to return to the real world and be content and happy. If the snake is surrounding your body and keeps biting you, then this dream is a direct interpretation of entrapment, which may be connected to a love affair. If you are suddenly bitten by a snake, this shows that you have upset too many people around you at the moment, and it is time for you to seek space. If the snake bites you and the bite is not fatal, then the dream relates to patterns that you have formed in your life. If the bite was fatal, then you have an enemy around you at the moment.

To feed a snake and get bitten in the meantime means you have been undertaking hard work and it is time to refresh your mind and think about what will make you feel all creative. If the snake in your dream changes itself into another person, this can indicate that it is time to give up a bad habit.

Green snakes belong to Colubridae species, known for their color. They are docile snakes found in gardens, green snakes seldom bite or are aggressive when held. They are normally smooth and normally thrive from rodents. They can inflict terrible wounds when they bite. 

Green is usually associated with your own energy is quite interesting because it is connected to the spiritual process of money and finances. If you dream that you are bitten by a green snake is a direct indication that you may (not always) have a problem with your money or you are worried about money or business.

Try to think of the positive aspects of your life, and how you can protect your money and energy. The color green itself is connected to joy, love, happiness and it's the symbolism that you need to close the door on something difficult in your life. If you manage to kill the green snake after it bit you - then this can suggest that you are moving fast towards security and harmony traditionally green represents financial prosperity but please be aware when you dream that the green snake bite you can suggest possible distrust of others. 

Often, dreaming that a green snake bites you can mean that your finances will be attacked by and it is very important for you to protect what you can! If the green snake was chasing you then bit you it can mean that you need to think about how you interact with others. Also, the green mamba is a snake that others fear. What are you fearing?

What does it mean to dream of a brown snake biting?

I am sorry to say that this dream is not the greatest sign. The brown snake is connected to the earth. One of the most important conclusions to be drawn from a dream of a brown snake is that brown is connected to darkness. Brown is generally a darkened variety of spectral yellow and this has a spiritual meaning because it is associated with a certain force by the link of our life force. Bites from brown snakes are not that painful, some people do not even know they have been bitten. The pain itself is normally experienced through having difficulty swallowing and breathing. Brown stakes are normally responsible for about 2-4 deaths per year in Australia but these statistics are increasing.

Only 20% of people are bitten by the brown stance and keeping the body still after being bitten is normally the best thing to do to keep the venom from spreading. The brown snake's venom contains neurotoxins and coagulants which can do so much damage. The reason I mention this is because brown snakes statistically have killed more people than any other snake. This means that the brown snake is significant as it represents someone super toxic. When brown snakes feel threatened they raise the front parts of their bodies.

What does it mean to dream of a white snake biting?

White snakes in dreams are connected and linked to magic. White snakes are about love and there is a Swedish story about the white snake bite, it is unclear if this is lore or if this actually happened. At the time, a woman experienced flattery and in a nutshell, she used a white snake in magic to regain his love after it bit her. The white snake was part of her spell and the use of a white snake affirms that mythical beings such as snakes are linked to the manipulation of others. The white snake plays an important role in folklore. Eating white snakes in these times was thought to protect someone from harm and also used for the magic of charm. In 1764 there was a case where a white snake was reported to be used for Maleficarum (witchcraft). The reason I mention this is because seeing a white snake bite can mean that someone is going to give you flattery and offer love but they might not be what they seem!

What does it mean to dream of a yellow snake biting?

Golden or yellow snake bites are connected to your own personal power. Yellow is our internal creativity.

All snakes are amazing but the types of snakes that are yellow are the albino ball python which is small only five feet tall, the yellow rat snake, and the Moluccan python. These yellow snakes may have black rings or other colors. Most yellow snakes are harmless. To notice the body scales of the yellow snake can suggest that you may focus on creativity for a while but this may be blocked. In most snakebite dreams, the color of the snake can provide us with robust information on what is crossing us in life.

If you have a snake on your body and it bites you, this can show some type of entrapment and ongoing problems in a relationship. This can signify marital difficulties and divorce. Even though it may be a negative situation and cause problems, the feeling of happiness will return eventually.

The Asp is the modern Anglicization of the word Aspis, which in antiquity referred to one of several venomous snake species found in the Nile region. If your dream involves seeing an Asp, this is a negative dream for a woman, and it indicates that she has a few enemies that want to do her harm. If you are a man, this indicates that you are going to overcome any difficult problems in regard to a masculine situation.

Cleopatra tested a wide range of deadly poisons on condemned people and animals for her entertainment, and she concluded that the bite of the Asp was the least terrible way to die. Therefore, in dream terms, it is important to understand that bad times are not that bad!

What does it mean to dream of multiple snake biting you?

Seeing many snakes bite you in a dream can give you so much information as to the people that surround you. More than one snake can indicate a huge amount of toxic people in your life. Alternatively, multiple snakes can suggest a group of people who are going to cause you stress. There is also a focus on health issues or problems you may find.  Ask yourself if you have been emotionally challenged, seeing loads of snakes bite you is an indication that you are a victim of criticism as I've already outlined in my YouTube video.

In dreams, multiple snake bites can be quite alarming and confusing. In many cases, this could mean that you are facing a difficult situation or challenge in your life that may feel overwhelming. Snakes are symbolic of transformation, so this could indicate a time when you need to make certain changes in your life.

It is possible that this dream indicates the presence of stress and anxiety. It might signify the feeling of being cornered or ‘trapped’ within oneself due to personal struggles, which often results in fear and distress. This dream also be interpreted as the need for protection from an unknown person. I also feel it could be a message from your subconscious about repressed emotions such as anger or guilt that should be addressed instead of kept hidden away within yourself; only once these negative thoughts are gone — can you move forward with strength and positivity. Seeing lots of snakes biting could represent temptation – there, take advantage of problem-solving/self-development going forward.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting someone else?

If the dream entailed biting any enemies that you do not like this can suggest that your words can have an effect on others. Try to think about any wounding comments you have made.

What does it mean to see a dream about a snake biting someone else?

What a crazy dream! If you see a snake (or many snakes) biting someone else this dream can be an incredibly powerful symbol. Since ancient times, snakes have been associated with life and death and so the image of a snake biting another person often carries great significance.

The most direct interpretation of this dream is that you are witnessing or being confronted with an impending decision where it will be difficult to choose one option over another. If the snake kills: or has venom-carrying fangs, in waking life --  these choices your making may have consequences. Snakes also create a spiral and therefore -- symbolize eternity.

I find solace in what Carl Jung stated: that wisdom lies within each person’s unconscious mind and through dreams they can gain knowledge into unresolved conflicts hidden in our psyche which otherwise remain out of sight from everyday awareness.

What does it mean to dream of the snake’s fangs?

There are only a few snakes that actually have fangs. These are cobras, cottonmouth, adders, rattlesnakes, and copperheads. These snakes exhibit grooved teeth and have a sack between its eyes which contains the poison which we call venom. When the venom is released by a spitting cobra it can travel around six meters! The most poisonous snake is a sea snake. To see the snake's fangs may imply a “betrayer” in life. Through the law of resonance, we sometimes attract people so we can heal them in life. This dream basically means that you should be kind to others - even though they may annoy you.

What does it mean to dream of a cobra snake biting you?

To be bitten by a cobra snake is quite significant, most victims die in 30 minutes and the only way to survive is to inject the antivenom after the bite.

Found in rain forests and plains of India the cobra is often the snake of charmers. Snake charming is not as popular in our modern world. Dreaming of a snake charmer who gets bitten can mean that you need a safeguard against a problem in waking life. 

What does it mean to dream of a rattlesnake biting you?

If you get bitten by the rattlesnake then this is a negative dream, as before it is a warning. We are focused on healing our inner souls in life and this is a message that you may need to heal your body and follow your passion. When you listen to your body, you begin to realize that you have your own power to heal. What this means in a dream is that to be bitten by a rattlesnake means you need to heal and not ignore the warning signs that you have someone toxic in your life. 

Where is the snake bite in your dream?

As I explained we must remain true to what our dreams are saying. Even complete focus we can be charmed by someone who is deceptive. The fool card in my tarot deck (please check it out) is significant here, don't be that fool try to uncover who or what is going to bite you going forward. I am going to briefly go over the different bodily locations where you have received the painful snake bite, and what these mean spiritually. I will individually go through these so move down the page and I cover all areas. 

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your head or face?

A face can tell if you are happy, worried, indecisive, aloof, or even friendly. Ok, we all make some mistakes sometimes but most of the time we try to correct them, our expression does not hide how we feel. To dream that the snake bite is anywhere near the head or face indicates someone is feeling guilty or worried about the way they treated you. Even though they have been tempted to cross you like Eve was tempted by the snake. In life, we make rapid and quick decisions about the people we meet. Being bitten on the face by a snake can indicate that there are hidden thoughts of others that are affecting your spiritual mind. Think of the snake as an attack. It is essentially attacking your voice, your mouth, your eyes, and your ears. If any of these areas are present in the dream, it can mean that you are in an emotional storm. 

If someone is lying to you, our face gives information on the conflict. It can tell if one is lying or not. Think about if anyone has lied to you recently. To be bitten on the face or your head can suggest someone is being deceptive sorry to say. This I found in an ancient spiritual book in my dusty cupboard. 

Symbolically, dreams of the face and snakes is associated with two-faced personalities. Which can be found in myths throughout the world. Having the dream of the snake biting your face could mean you’ve recently encountered someone who may appear to be one way in public, but then quite another behind closed doors.

In Nordic mythology, snakes are associated with healing and strength - both physical and spiritual. This means the dream is likely trying to tell you that even though some people may lie or try to hurt you, you should not give up hope. It also serves as a warning from the spirit --- to not be easily swayed by lies and deceit.

I also believe this type of dream could be connected to shedding skin and means removing old habits that no longer serve you - it’s time to let go of the past in order to achieve growth moving forward. Depending on where the snake bites part of your face in the dream will determine which part of your life needs attention. Also, think about where the snake was biting (cheeks), and decisions (chin) --- so pay attention next time such a dream is experienced!

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your mouth?

Our mouth provides us with the communication and ability to connect with other souls. Dreaming of a snake bite on the mouth can suggest that something is likely to be said. There once was a man that I knew when I was a little girl he was the caretaker of our school and looked after things like gardening and general maintenance. He had an office underground in the school. I can remember being super scared of this man, to the point me and my friends dared each other to go underground in order to see him. He reminded me very much of the older guy in home alone who helped the young boy (if you have seen the film). I feared him, I feared the downstairs office which was in the ground like a dungeon. It was dark like a cave. Once I went down there as my friends dared me. I faced my fear and entered the door. I screamed when he was stood there with a spade. I was scared but I spoke to him and he turned out to be a lovely man. I built up a friendship with him.

Sometime later he tragically took his own life. The reason was that his wife had cancer and passed over, he no longer wanted to be on the earth plane. You see, he was scared, he was going through an emotional storm that he could not get out of it. The feelings he projected on others that met him was fear. The fear, the sadness, the energy but the words which came from the mouth were kind, caring, and loving. You see, the snake bite on the mouth can mean that someone might appear to be who they are not. Someone you don't like or are fearful of is actually kind. That is why I see this dream in reverse and means that what we project as our outside body is not what it is inside.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your stomach?

To be bitten by the snake on the stomach is quite a common dream and many of you contact me about this particular one. The stomach is the solar plexus chakra, the centre of our universe. Chakras are energy centres in our bodies. Think of them as vortexes, they are focused on energy flowing throughout our body. The chakra is a doorway to your spiritual powers. This part of the body is connected to our own personal power, it is considered the sun chakra and provides a beautiful, warm golden light when we meditate. If a snake bites your stomach something is removing your internal strength and power. 

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your neck?

The neck in spiritual terms and the chakras is associated with communicating with others. It is known as the throat chakra. This is connected to your inner truth and when you encounter in a dream a snake bite this can indicate that you might be prevented from speaking the truth.

What does it mean to see a dream about a snake biting your eye?

If you cannot see or the snake bite resonates into your eyes then this can suggest that your gut instincts and how you communicate are going to be affected. Think of your own intuition and truth. Imagine that you have a third eye - the eye of the spirit. For this to be bitten in the dream can mean that you need to work on your own self-esteem.

Dreaming of a snake bite in the right eye can suggest that someone is trying to put a blindfold on you. Often the right eye in dreams is connected to something that is hidden. The left eye, however, is connected to being independent of anything else. This is common when we have energy blocks. Dreaming of a snake bite on the eyes happens when we are seeing things are exhausted or scattered. As the "bite" is hurting your psychic vision to move on. The good news is that this dream about the snake bite is helping you to rejoice and awake!

It can be a pretty scary and disconcerting experience, especially if the snake in your dream had fangs. In my own personal experiences, I have seen these weird dreams as signals from my unconscious mind telling me whatever it is I am afraid of at a given moment — even if it doesn’t make much sense on first glance. It could also be signifying some kind of power struggle or challenge you need to face, such as dealing with an intimidating person who might try to take advantage of you, or making efforts towards self-improvement by overcoming certain obstacles standing in your way.

I do feel like seeing a dream about being bitten by a snake should not be taken literally; there could be one underlying message that you feel attacked or bitten by someone in life.  If someone has been taking undue advantage or you are just worn out over a personal relationship perhaps this dream serves as a cautionary message so that you may become more aware that we need to think about any toxic relationships in life.

Okay… I am sure you will agree that snakes biting your eye can be a deeply disconcerting experience. In many ancient cultures, the eyes are seen as windows to the soul; and, when you dream of something attacking them, it could bring up feelings of vulnerability or even fear.

Most people interpret dreams involving snakes as being symbolic in some way. Snakes are often associated with danger and they can suggest a person or situation that is threatening you on some level. If the snake bites your eye in your dream, this suggests that someone or something has provoked a strong emotional reaction from you—possibly feeling hurt by something that happened recently or worrying about what might happen next. It's possible that it's warning you against blindly trusting other people and to be more aware of potential challenges ahead—or advising you not to take things for granted without considering all angles first.

In Celtic cultures (as well as in other ancient societies), dreaming of snakes was thought to have special significance because they suggest powerful forces that warn that someone might attack us, which can hypnotically mean that if the “eye” is attacked we might see danger but not register it. 

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your legs?

On the left leg, the snake bite is connected to the side of creative energy. It can mean that your energy is out of balance. For the right leg to be bitten by a snake incites you may have a hard time being able to express your thoughts and remove yourself from a situation. There could be outbursts of emotions if you dream of both legs bitten by a snake. To dream of seeing someone else who's leg is bitten by the snake is an indication that you have blocked emotions and this has manifested into a dream.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your feet (Left foot and right foot)?

Spiritually your feet are connected to our inner soul. When life gets too rough and difficult we move, we go away. In many spiritual traditions, the soul is supposed to reside inside the souls of our feet. In the bible, Jesus washed the dusty feet of his disciples by putting them in water. This act earned them blessings. Therefore this dream can mean that you need to wash free because someone is going to bite your soul. If the snake bit you on the left foot or right foot it does not make any difference. Each foot can represent our energies from a higher power and the action of biting the foot means that you might need to clear out the old to make way for the new. 

When we dream about a snake biting our foot, it can feel like a pretty disturbing experience. But did you know that there is actually an underlying meaning to this dream? Feet are often seen as associated with our journey in life, representing the direction we are headed and which path we choose to take. It's no surprise then that dreaming of snakes trying to bite your feet can be interpreted as having something to do with your life or personal journey somehow heading off track. I also feel, such a dream could also be indicative of you going through something complicated or difficult related to how well (or not) your footsteps are part of the journey in life.

Dreams where snakes bite us can also signify lack of emotional awareness within ourselves coupled with fearfulness about something in life. We may instinctively sense danger but oftentimes fail to really know why we are scared -- similar to feeling threatened by something real yet undefined. I also wish to say that dreaming about being bitten by a snake doesn’t necessarily have negative or bad vibes --- rather symbolic meanings attached that are connected to spiritual development/growth (new ideas emerging), strength & power (biting back when necessary), courage over adversity (never letting anyone stand in one's way)--- basically making you feel more badass while facing scary stuff head-on every single day.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your left hand?

If the snake bite occurred on the left hand then this can indicate how your words are being used. The word left has different uses in the bible. It can sometimes point to a direction (Genesis 7:23) and the dream can represent that you need to focus on moving towards a certain direction. Or, to leave someone with something important (Genesis 39.6) that is the biblical interpretation of the snake bite dream. There is also a symbolic meaning of being bitten on the left hand and this can be associated with the day of judgment soon coming to you.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your right hand?

Dreaming about being bitten on the right hand can suggest that you need to cleanse and heal. The right has used such as someone in authority is going to offer you a hand (Pslam 50:16) but that offer might not be what you want it to be - hence why you had a dream of the right hand.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your knee?

The knees are a symbol of strength. In the bible knees, appear (Job4:4) is about how we bend down in life. We go to our knees to beg for forgiveness. If you dream of a snake biting your knees then you are adopting the stance of forgiveness from someone close to you. Kneeling was common in prayer for the jews, it is connected to your attentive attitude, and dreaming of the knee being bitten can mean you are feeling somewhat superior.

What does it mean to dream of a snake biting your arm?

Arms represent primal energy, and have many different meanings in dreams --depending on the cultural context. In Indian traditions, dreams of snake-biting arms signify that Kundalini energy is waking up within you. This type of energy represents a highly powerful and healing form of spiritual transformation.

Some dream books say that snakes biting arms often interpret a sort of warning or fear - something in your life will be painful and not bring immediate pleasure or satisfaction.

To dream that a snake bites your left arm indicates you need to take some time away from daily activities and responsibilities just to reflect on all aspects going on internally as well as externally. If the snake bites your right arm it can mean that things are going to more relaxing but you may need to watch your money as the right arm signifies keeping hold of money in ancient folklore. If the snake coils your arm in the dream it can mean that you need to think about how you navigate other people’s emotions.

Dreaming of a snake bite on the chest

As I am sure you are aware I like to look at the biblical meaning of dreams, to dream of the chest is connected to our intimate relationships or someone that is super close to you. Ezekiel 27:24 the scared chest is mentioned. The chest is signified as the mans love. Who has bitten your love? Who has made you feel worried?
