Owen SterlingKilling a snake is the brain’s way of processing the resolution of a hidden hostility. This dream occurs when the mind works to eliminate a source of treachery or a deceptive influence that has been felt in the periphery of waking life. Overcoming this enmity clears the mind of suspicion and social friction.
The process of addressing such a threat can be heavy, as it requires the recognition of an enmity that was once concealed. This confrontation gives the dreamer power to act as the internal work of neutralizing a threat is completed. Relief follows the successful removal of what was once a source of unease.
Cutting a snake in half or simply cutting a snake adds a dimension of division to the victory, as the dreamer breaks the power of the threat through a decisive, physical separation.
A cat killing a snake or a dog killing a snake introduces a companion into the resolution, as the dreamer finds help or a watchful ally to manage the deception.
A big snake increases the scale of the challenge, signifying that the hostility being overcome is substantial or carries significant weight in the dreamer’s life.
Fighting snakes or killing multiple snakes indicates that several layers of dishonesty are being addressed, as the mind works to settle many different plots at once.
A white snake shifts the tone of the dream toward a more subtle or perhaps deceptive purity, suggesting that the enmity being resolved is disguised by an appearance of innocence.
Throwing away snakes or throwing snakes suggests a desire to distance oneself from trouble, moving the threat away rather than destroying it through direct contact.
The presence of a black snake intensifies the feeling of the threat, since the dark color points to a malice that is deeply hidden or difficult to see.
Killing snakes in a house brings the conflict into the most intimate sphere of the dreamer, indicating that the resolution concerns the stability and peace of one’s own personal life.
The failure to kill a snake or not being able to kill a snake indicates that the process of resolving a source of treachery is unfinished, leaving the source of suspicion still active in the mind.
Using bare hands to kill a snake suggests that the dreamer is relying entirely on their own inherent strength and direct effort to settle a matter of treachery.
