A rattlesnake bite is the sudden arrival of an aggressive impulse that the mind is currently processing. This dream is the brain simulating the impact of a sharp and immediate hostility.
The experience of this sudden puncture points to an encounter with malice that cannot be ignored or bypassed. The dreamer faces a situation where the threat is no longer a distant possibility but has become an active presence. This realization of hostility is a way for the mind to prepare for the reality of an ongoing conflict. There is a clarity in recognizing the source of the sting.
The dream of being chased by a rattlesnake shifts the meaning toward an attempt to outrun a looming hostility. This flight suggests that the dreamer is currently experiencing the pressure of a threat that has not yet struck but is actively gaining ground.
When a rattlesnake attack occurs, the dream moves from the potential of harm to the actual engagement with an enemy. This change indicates that the brain is working through the moment of impact, where the threat is no longer being avoided but is being met directly.

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.
