Psychiatrist Interpretations

Sigmund Freud, aka Freud, is the founder of Psychoanalysis, and he expresses that the snake in your dreams represents your unconscious sexual desires. According to Freud, snake dreams are connected to the male reproductive organ. He believed people dream of snakes so they are connected to feeling sexual power and that a male holds a hidden fear of transformation.

Freud believed that the snake was the most important symbol for the male as the snake is associated with a male powerful bond between himself and a female, and that it is associated with feelings of “sexual power” in a dream – a symbol of possible fertility.

A Freudian interpretation of the snake dream emphasizes your relation to sexuality and male figures in your life. For Freud, the snake is the symbol of the penis.

So if you are a woman experiencing a snake dream, then it is associated with sexuality representing your relationship with men, especially romantic or sexual ones, or your male energy. Freud, in his book, The Interpretation of Dreams, written in 1899, quoted about snakes featuring in dreams:

“Most of those animals which are utilized as genital symbols in mythology and folklore play this part also in dreams: the fish, the snail, the cat, the mouse (on account of the hairiness of the genitals), but above all the snake, which is the most important symbol of the male member.”

From a Jungian perspective, snake dreams offer people the dangerous possibility of connecting with the wisdom of the collective unconscious and drawing strength from its archetypal energies

Carl Jung believes that the serpent is associated with wisdom and symbolizes healing

“ What Nature wants us to do is to move with a snake­like motion. … The snake is the symbol of the great wisdom of Nature, for the too direct way is not the best way; the crooked way, the detour, is the shorter way. Snake-dreams usually occur; therefore when the conscious mind deviates from its instinctual basis. Snake dreams always indicate a discrepancy between the attitude of the conscious mind and instinct, the snake being a personification of the threatening aspect of that conflict.”

Mythologically speaking, the snake represents the primal life energy that rises out of the primordial waters of being – that earth-bound, spiritual energy that is incarnate in us all.  In a human being that energy has the potential to become the highest spiritual principle.  We see this aspect of serpent symbolism in the images of Kundalini yoga.
