The Unconscious World of Dream

Snakes - Serpents

New life, rejuvenation, healing. The snake sheds its skin and grows new skin; shedding the old, new growth.


(1) In Western societies the snake is seen as evil. In Eastern mythologies the snake (or serpent) is a symbol for healing, new life.

(2) A snake may symbolize sexuality; psychic energy, or the power of Nature; intuitive wisdom; the unconscious.

(3) Is the snake guarding something? If so, it may symbolize either your true and total self or something you need for the next stage of personal development.
