A dead rattlesnake appears in a dream when the mind has finished sorting through recent hostility or a specific instance of ill intent. This image marks a threat that has lost its power to strike or cause harm. The brain uses this symbol to signal that a source of malice has been neutralized or has exhausted its influence.
The dreamer finds that the danger which once seemed active has been rendered inert through the natural course of events. This transition from an active threat to a lifeless one allows the mind to move past the tension of anticipation. The presence of a dead rattlesnake indicates that the period of defensive alertness is drawing to a close. Stillness follows the end of a conflict.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
