Having a dream about many snakes
In general dreams, snakes are rarely used to symbolize wisdom, because when the dreamer is facing a major inner conflict or has deeply reflected on their inner self, they can dream of a snake that symbolizes wisdom.
Physiologically, snakes represent the spine, and spinal diseases can be represented by injured snakes. From the perspective of Yin and Yang, snakes represent Yin.

Snakes have other characteristics as well, for example, being cold-blooded, so they can symbolize emotional coldness in a person. For instance, pythons can wrap around people or even swallow them. Because snakes can also symbolize a person's emotions, this person may be persistent and suffocating, making you feel unable to breathe; or they may be overly attentive to you, which makes you lose your independence. A mother who is overly indulgent may appear as a large snake in her child's dream, ready to swallow the child.
Even people who have not read the Bible know that Eve was led astray by the serpent, causing her and Adam to be expelled from Eden, beginning a life filled with human suffering. In many primitive cultures, due to the mysterious appearance of snakes, people have an inexplicable reverence for them, even worshiping them as deities. Therefore, snakes symbolize the stirring desires and profound powers within human nature, simultaneously inspiring both reverence and fear.
Most people find it unpleasant to dream about snakes, perhaps being chased and devoured by them; or maybe they just lie still without harming you, but you still feel scared and want to run away! When you dream about snakes, especially when you feel extremely frightened, it usually means you are encountering your deep-seated fears. Think about what kind of snake did you dream about? How did you feel about the snake in the dream? How did you interact with it? Where did you meet the snake? These can help you further understand what you are really afraid of.
Speaking of snakes, intellectuals who have read two books cannot help but think of Freud's statement: snakes represent sexual innuendos. Dreams about snakes can indeed imply your views on sex or your sexual life. Perhaps it is a lack of sexual desire, or a sexual behavior that makes you feel guilty, or maybe it is a satisfying and fulfilling sexual life.
Snakes have completely different interpretations in China and the West. Dreaming about snakes in China is a symbol of wealth, while in the West, dreaming about snakes is a symbol of sexuality. However, through recent psychological research, it has been found that in dreams about snakes, especially among women, the result is always a symbol of sexuality.
Snakes are one of the most commonly used symbols. The meanings represented by snakes are rich. First of all, snakes represent sexuality, especially the male genitalia. Looking at the shape, these two are indeed similar.
A woman once told this dream: "I dreamed of entering a house, the roof and walls were made of glass, as if it were a greenhouse. In the middle of the house, there was a large snake, locked in a pot, as if there was a glass cover on top. The snake was moving hard, and I was very afraid it would break out."
This dream reflects a common concern among women, fearing an unintended pregnancy due to a broken condom. Snakes represent the male, while the glass cover and glass house represent the condom, and the house also represents the female's sexuality.
A man dreamed that there was a snake in a small pond. This snake raised its head, grew larger and larger, turned into a dragon, and then it spewed water.
Snakes and dragons often can be interchanged. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake is also called "little dragon." We will talk about this later. Look at this dream, which is a process of sexuality. **Erection, growth, finally spewing "water" from inside.
The author of this dream was a young soldier, separated from his wife. Having such a sexual dream is quite natural.
A girl dreamed that a snake bit her leg, and blood came out of her leg.
This represents a man's violation of her, causing her to lose her virginity. If this girl is no longer a virgin, it represents that she has suffered other injuries.
Poisonous snakes often symbolize harmful sexuality, such as rape, but poisonous snakes or snakes can also represent poison and harm related to sexuality, representing hatred and resentment, etc.
For example, someone dreamed that he was with a celebrity, and suddenly many poisonous snakes emerged from the ground to bite them. The celebrity jumped up and avoided them, but he couldn't jump. After analysis, the snakes represented others' jealousy towards him. He thought that if he were a celebrity, he could avoid jealousy or make those jealous people "not bite", but as an unknown person, he could not avoid the harm of jealous people.
Someone dreamed that he was bitten by a white snake. After analysis, he was hurt by a classmate wearing a white shirt. The snake represented his hatred toward that classmate, and also represented the classmate's hatred toward him.
Snakes also represent evil, treachery, and deception, as well as temptation. This is consistent with the image of snakes in many myths and folk tales. In the Bible, it was the snake that tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. Snakes are often seen as animals of hell, messengers of the devil. They drag people into darkness, degradation, and evil, and their methods mainly involve temptation. In folk tales, snakes do not actively catch frogs. Once a snake sees a frog, it stares at it. At this time, the frog seems hypnotized and steps into the snake's mouth. In people's minds, snakes represent this kind of hypnotic temptation. Therefore, when people find someone who is tempting and evil, they call them a venomous snake. If this tempter is a woman, we call her a beautiful snake or say that this woman is a venomous snake.
Therefore, the snake in the dream may be a person who is evil, cunning, habitual in deception, with hypnotic charm or allure.
On the other hand, snakes also represent wisdom, a deep wisdom that reaches into the depths of the human heart. Jung pointed out: "The god of medicine, Asclepius, is associated with snakes... In the temple of Asclepius, there was an ancient clinic called Asclepion. This clinic was a cave, covered by a stone at the entrance, where a sacred snake lived. There was a hole on the stone, and the patients dropped money through the hole into the cave as payment for medical treatment..."
Snakes also have the ability of wisdom and prophecy. In Chinese folk beliefs, the superstition of snakes also has a psychological basis, that is, snakes symbolize wisdom in people's minds. In ancient China, people regarded the holy snake as a sacred creature. The images of Fu Xi and Nu Wa are human-headed and snake-bodied. The image of the dragon is also related to snakes, but the dragon is generally not evil, and is more powerful than ordinary snakes. Myths often mention that dragons or snakes guard treasures in caves, which are the wisdom, the insight into human nature."
