Dreaming of
Big Snake

Miller considered a large snake a harbinger of serious trials and hidden enemies acting on a large scale. A huge snake blocking the path — toward a serious obstacle in affairs. Killing a large snake — toward victory over a strong adversary or the overcoming of a major problem. A large snake that does not attack but simply is present — toward an influential person in the environment whose intentions are unclear.

Vanga saw in a large snake the embodiment of a powerful hidden force — natural or human. An enormous snake coiling around the body — toward some force or person exerting a strong, almost all-encompassing influence over you. A large snake moving away — toward a threat or influence retreating. Feeding a large snake — toward the fact that you yourself are nourishing something that may cause you harm.

Freud interpreted the snake as a pronounced phallic symbol, and large size amplified the sexual component of the image. An enormous snake — toward a powerful, possibly suppressed, attraction or toward fear of masculine force. A large snake attacking — toward a conflict between desire and prohibition. A tamed large snake — toward the integration of sexual energy, the acceptance of one's desires.

Nostradamus saw in a large snake a symbol of global forces and events extending beyond personal life. An enormous snake encompassing the horizon — toward major changes in society or the world. A large snake underground — toward a destructive force gathering strength unnoticed. A snake rising vertically — toward the ascent of someone or something that will radically alter the familiar order.

Hasse interpreted a large snake unambiguously as a serious danger or a powerful enemy. An enormous snake at the threshold of the house — toward a threat directed at the family or property. A large snake sleeping — toward a danger that is dormant for now but will awaken at any careless move. Running away from a large snake — toward a temporary reprieve that does not mean the problem is definitively solved.

According to Tsvetkov, a large snake — toward a serious trial that will require all of the dreamer's resources. A snake coiling into a ring — toward a vicious circle of circumstances that is hard to escape. A large snake hissing — toward an open threat or warning that should not be ignored. Stroking a large snake without consequence — toward an unexpected alliance with someone who seemed dangerous.
