If you look for the meaning of the snake in dreams you find vague interpretations, without a concrete definition.
The truth is that the snake can have different meanings, depending on the life of the dreamer, because according to various cultural traditions, it has different symbolic meanings for many people. For example, people who belong to groups that give the snake a religious aspect, or the meaning of power and wisdom. However, the scientific and exact translation of the general meaning that the snake has in dreams, is the following:
A snake in our dreams represents a bad event which will cure us. The poison will be transformed into medicine, and thanks to the knowledge we have of what will happen to us, we will change our behavior forever.
This meaning reflects the irony that we can see in nature: from the snake’s poison we make an antidote that can cure its victims. The snake means a lot of suffering for you, but this suffering will help you achieve higher levels of knowledge and will help you change your behavior for the better. Carl Jung discovered the exact method according to which we can translate the dream messages; however his method is quite confused and vague.
Continuing his research into unknown regions of the psyche through dream interpretation, I could clearly see that the dream messages try to protect us from the craziness that is accumulated in the wild part of our conscience, which constantly tries to invade the human side of the conscience in order to destroy it and control the person’s behavior, instead of being tamed by the conscious mind that has human characteristics and respects other human beings.
Therefore I can clearly define the snake in dreams as a bad event that will cure the psyche. The wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams in order to protect you from the craziness that the wild and primitive anti-conscience tries to impose upon your human conscience, is making you aware that you are in danger or that you are making a very big mistake that has to be corrected for the preservation of your mental health.
