Killing a rattlesnake in a dream signifies the brain’s attempt to neutralize a source of active and overt hostility. This process of mental sorting identifies a specific malice that has become visible, allowing the dreamer to confront a conflict that no longer remains hidden.
The action of terminating such a threat serves to halt a cycle of aggression that was already known to be present. By resolving this tension during sleep, the dreamer finds a way to manage a confrontation that has moved from a state of tension into a state of direct engagement. The dreamer acts to end a conflict that has become manageable.
When the dreamer is killing rattlesnakes in a dream, the mind is working through a series of distinct or repetitive encounters with spiteful forces. This pattern of action suggests that the task of managing hostility is not a single occurrence but a recurring necessity.

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.
