Snake Dreams<\/p><\/div>\n

By Courtenay Turner for Boomeryearbook.com<\/a><\/p>\n

As a dream analyst I often encounter people who ask me to provide
\nanswers to what specific things in their dreams mean. They want me to
\nrespond much like a human dictionary. For instance they will say
\n“what does it mean when I see a snake in my dream?” They then look to
\nme hoping I will say “it means you will have money fall into your
\nhands soon, or that you cannot trust your loved one” etc.
\nUnfortunately I don’t believe it is this simple at all. Perhaps this
\nis fortunate because it provides much more specific insight when we
\nreally delve into what these symbols mean to us as individuals.<\/p>\n

The reason I cannot provide a universal response to what snakes, or
\nlightning, or falling or anything else means is because we all come
\nfrom such diverse backgrounds and life experiences that mold our views
\non the things we may see in our dreams. Let’s take the snake example.
\nPersonally I am terrified of snakes, but I have friends who think they
\nare beautiful, powerful, have them as pets etc. When I dream of a
\nsnake it will mean something very different for me then when they
\ndream of a snake.<\/p>\n

You may be wondering if there is no universal dream dictionary how on
\nearth do I decipher the meaning of my dreams. I encourage you to
\nfirstly write down your dreams. This will help you to remember them
\nmore clearly, and to use them as a tool for self discovery. When you
\nare analyzing various symbols or situations in your dreams, ask
\nyourself how you would describe the symbol both in the dream and in
\nlife and examine where in your life you see such a description. Here
\nis an example: again back to snakes. I would describe snakes as
\nterrifying, toxic, and powerful. Then I would ask myself what in my
\nlife or what part of myself do I think is like a snake which I
\ndescribed as being “terrifying, toxic and powerful”.<\/p>\n

The beautiful thing about dreams being such a unique metaphor for all
\nof us is that the symbolism and meanings may vary not only from person
\nto person but even at different times in our lives. If tomorrow I
\nhave a positive experience with a snake and tomorrow night I dream about a
\nsnake, it may have a new meaning than it would have for me tonight. I
\nlook forward to all of you unlocking the key to you lives through your
\nunconscious nightly reveries!<\/p>\n
