IX. Zhou Gong's Dream Interpretation
Snake is one of the common animals in our dreams. In popular folklore, dreaming of a snake is a symbol of wealth. However, in psychological analysis of dreams, snakes do not represent wealth but have multiple meanings such as sex, wisdom, and intuition.
Sometimes, the snake in the dream symbolizes sex. In a woman's dream, the snake mostly represents the male genitalia. For example, in a girl's dream, a small snake bites her leg. According to the context of the dream, this small snake represents the male genitalia, and the biting process is the process of sexual activity.
Another example is a couple living apart who reunite, and the wife dreams of a small dragon spitting water. "Small dragon" represents the snake, and "spitting water" symbolizes the male genitalia's ejaculation process. If the dream involves a poisonous snake, it implies harmful sexual activities.
In a man's dream, the snake symbolizes the female. The author encountered such a dream in the course of dream consulting: a young man dreamed that he was entangled by a large python, with the snake's head pressing on his head. Here, the "large python" symbolizes his mother, and "entanglement" symbolizes constraint. This dream indicates that in real life, his mother is very strict with him, affecting his ability to be independent.
Also, in some men's dreams, snakes represent their feminine side. If the snake's appearance causes the dreamer to feel fear, it means that the dreamer does not accept their feminine traits, which reflects in reality as a hidden fear in their interactions with women.
When a snake appears in a dream, it sometimes symbolizes wisdom. For example, in the dream of a senior executive in a company, he received a staff with a carved snake and was very happy. The "staff" symbolizes his current position and authority, while the "snake" represents wisdom. In many national myths and folk tales, snakes often appear as wise beings and deities, so when the appearance of a snake in a dream has a mythological flavor, it often represents wisdom.
Dreaming of a snake sometimes also symbolizes "intuition." Intuition is one of the four psychological functions (the other three are sensation, thinking, and feeling), which "indicates" how to "do." Snakes are sensitive animals, similar to human intuition. So, people often receive the "insight" of snakes in their dreams. For example, a student dreamed of a snake disappearing under his mattress, while he was searching for his meal card during the day. The next day, he cautiously lifted the mattress and found the meal card. In fact, this was his intuition helping him find the meal card, and the snake in the dream symbolized his intuitive activity.
"Mystery" is also a main "feature" of snakes. In the dreams of Swiss psychologist Jung, snakes often appear. He himself and the analytical psychology he founded are known as "mysterious," so his connection with snakes is "close." His "intuition" and "mystery" come from the "snake" in his heart.
Sometimes, the snake in the dream also symbolizes "temptation." Finally, the "beautiful snake" that we do not accept, i.e., the "temptation" it symbolizes. The temptation of snakes is shown when they catch frogs, staring motionlessly at the frogs, making them lose vigilance, and then suddenly "bite." Similarly, if such a scene appears in a dream, for example, being stared at by a snake, it often symbolizes encountering someone with great temptation.
Training yourself to treat snakes kindly in dreams. Generally speaking, when encountering a snake in a dream, especially in the fear felt in the dream, it is easy to choose to hit, kill, burn, or throw away the snake. But this is really not the best way. According to the study of image psychology, snakes as a common image in dreams often carry a large amount of psychological energy. If you use methods like hitting, killing, burning, or throwing away, it will affect the balance of overall psychological energy. Therefore, the best way to deal with a snake in a dream is to pay attention to and train it.
It is indeed difficult for the dreamer to "treat the snake kindly" in the dream itself, but it can still be "repaired" after the dream. We can tell ourselves after the dream that if we dream of a snake or similar scenes again, we should first look carefully and not rush to "act"; we can also imagine returning to the snake scene in the dream and experiencing the emotions in that dream until they are clear and complete.
The benefits of these two approaches are: preventing the psychological energy represented by the snake in the dream from being repressed, but instead using this psychological energy to serve the dreamer's psychological growth. That is to say, through this experience, one can enhance their intuition, discover more wisdom, and make their personality more complete and perfect.

XI. Psychological Dream Interpretation
Dream interpretation: Dreaming of a snake implies that a "slippery" person or situation may appear. This refers to a situation where you cannot trust someone. Or there is a person you know but cannot control.
Psychological analysis: Because snakes are related to sex, they imply unresolved issues or fears regarding sexual behavior.
Spiritual symbolism: In a spiritual sense, the snake in the dream symbolizes moral corruption and deception. In ancient myths, the snake that bites its tail symbolizes perfection, endless vitality, and power. When you are committed to spiritual self-sufficiency, this symbol will appear in your dream.
XII. Case Analysis of Dreaming of Snakes
Case 1: Dream: I am afraid of snakes, every time I think of a snake, I get shivers, but I keep dreaming of snakes. My dreams are either being bitten by a snake or the snake wrapping around me, which is terrifying, and each time I am scared awake. (Female, 33 years old)
Interpretation: Dreaming of a snake is a manifestation of sexual desires. According to Freud, a snake is a symbol of the female, and a woman dreaming of a snake represents longing and dissatisfaction with sex. In the East, dreaming of a snake sometimes symbolizes money. In the West, dreaming of a snake symbolizes many difficulties, obstacles, and betrayals. If you dream of a snake wrapping around you, it means that you were a slave to sexual repression during this period. If bitten by a snake, be careful of accidents. If there are many snakes, it indicates that the environment around you is not good.
Case 2: Dream: Someone dreamed of putting a snake in their pocket and playing with it. Later, the snake crawled away and entered a storage room through a door crack, and no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find it. Eventually, the person woke up in anxiety.
Interpretation: This is an ominous dream. The snake represents a petty person and conspiracy. The snake crawling into the storage room represents the dreamer's secrets being discovered by a petty person, and the dreamer will be harmed. Recently, be careful of rumors, especially in interpersonal relationships, and do not offend people.
