It would seem difficult to find such an odious symbol as an ancient reptile - in most cultures it is the embodiment of dark forces. But there are also traditions of deifying animals, which may be why the interpretation of the image in dream books is ambiguous. In the interpretation of what a dead snake means in a dream, soothsayers are not unanimous - it is all the more interesting to figure out what signs are hidden in a dream.
Hopes and Doubts
Despite the sense of danger, the reptiles were often treated with respect, and their deaths were seen as a warning sign. Even Aesop in his dream book gave the following interpretation of the dream: pressing problems will not be resolved in the near future. He is echoed by Zhou-Gong’s dream book: if you dreamed of a dead snake, you will have to give up hopes and regret missed opportunities.
The interpretation of what she dreamed about in the river is somewhat similar. The river is a symbol of obstacles. Seeing her in the river means worrying, expecting a happy event that may not happen.
Other dream options and their interpretation
If a reptile bites a person, it is not considered a sign of trouble. Some sources interpret a reptile bite as the appearance of rumors and gossip, others claim that it is a symbol of wisdom. To more accurately understand what to expect in the near future for a person who has been bitten by a snake in a dream. If a biting reptile prevents the dreamer from moving, it means that a loved one may harm him or betray him.
Visions in which a person kills a reptile speaks of the strength of the dreamer, who is ready for any trouble. Such a dream foreshadows the emergence of a large number of problems that at first glance will not be solvable, but the person will successfully cope with them. Therefore, if you had a similar dream and any problems appeared, you should not be afraid, but you need to go to their solution with complete self-confidence.
Women's dreams
Why does a woman dream about a dead snake? In Biblical tales, she acts as Eve’s ally, suggesting how to open a man’s eyes to her seductiveness. If in a dream the dreamer is to blame for her death, then in the fight for her beloved she will not take into account moral standards. The same applies to defending any of your interests. You should not trust a man - this is why a woman dreams of being bitten by a dead snake; it predicts betrayal on the part of her partner.
Why does a girl dream that a dead reptile is stinging her? - A modern dream book foreshadows deceit from a close friend. A girl’s dream of a duel with a dangerous animal, ending in its killing, foreshadows a heated quarrel.
Why do you dream of dead snakes according to Miller’s dream book?
Snakes, according to Miller, are the personification of evil and sins. Their death is the gaining of hope for some positive outcome of current events and the possibility of the triumph of the side of light and good.
A dead snake in Miller’s dream book means your triumph over a defeated enemy. In the case when in a dream you simply find a snake already dead, this means that there are no obstacles or dangers on the way to your goals. If you kill the snake yourself, it means that you are defending your interests, no matter what. If in a dream you see a dead snake that has bitten you, this is a sign that you should not let your guard down. Fate can still present you on a silver platter with the “consequences” of the plans of your “dead” or simply neutralized enemies. And these consequences do not bode well for you...
