Dreaming of snakes

I had a dream about snakes last week or last 2 weeks ago and I still wonder what it means until now. I do not remember exactly the sequence but as far as I can remember, I was holding a snake gently and then suddenly I accidentally squeezed his neck. I think the snake was alerted of danger so he kept on biting me and strangled my hands. After that, I was hysterical because I was afraid to die. To my surprise, nothing happened to me. And then I woke up. According to some dream interpreter site, it could mean a problem in life.

Gillian Holloway, Ph.D. identifies being bitten by a snake as meaning different things. She says, “In many dreams a single snake will come to bite you, and you may in fact be bitten after a brief struggle. To your amazement though, you will not die, and may find that the situation is not as bad as you thought.” According to Holloway you have this kind of dream if you are struggling with some problem, relationship or challenge. “Such a snake-ordeal is an important signal that you are going through a kind of initiation; a psychological and spiritual trial that has the potential to change your life for the better if you deal with it bravely and with a clear heart. You may have to give up something you thought you couldn’t, or take a stand for your principles or faith.”

Snake Bites
When one is bitten by a snake in a dream, this often actually points to overcoming a situation that appeared dire. The a snake bit dream may point to learning to overcome a situation and regain your power in life. Snake bites can be viewed as in injection of wisdom, rather than life threatening venom.

Actually, I think that is true. At that time I was in a middle of uncertainties. I was uneasy and a little lost with what is happening in my life. And now I totally understand it. I received a very bad news last Friday night. I do not want to elaborate the case but we have been waiting for that moment for more than a year. Before the news last Friday, we already received that that dream will become into a reality by November but due to problems in our economy (fall of 2 giant companies), it had to be canceled. There were already a lot of plans made and they were all ruined as well. But you know what, it was not really that bad! We are not going to die nor are we going to starve. I am more at peace because I know every time fate closed a door to you, there will always be a new opportunity that you can explore. We just have to learn to open our eyes and thankfully I did. I saw a new opportunity coming at me. And I am happy.
