Dreaming About Snake
What it means
Dreaming of a snake often points to change, healing, or something in waking life you sense but haven't named yet. Because snakes shed their skin, they're commonly read as a sign of transformation, or of a worry you're ready to outgrow.
In more detail
The feeling in the dream matters more than the snake itself. A calm snake can suggest renewal and instinctive wisdom, while a threatening one may mirror a fear, a tension, or a person you find hard to trust. Notice where the snake appears and how you respond.
