Owen SterlingRiding a snake in a dream involves a movement of control over an element of hidden hostility. The sleeping brain uses this image to process how a person navigates an environment where enmity is present but not yet fully realized. By placing the dreamer in a position of transit atop the threat, the dream rehearses the management of a situation that carries the potential for betrayal.
The ability to stay mounted suggests that the dreamer is currently finding a way to direct or utilize a difficult tension rather than being overwhelmed by it. This process of engagement allows for a level of stability amidst an unpredictable or untrustworthy circumstance. The tension of the encounter is present, but the momentum is held.
Sitting on a snake changes the nature of the interaction from movement to a static state of occupation. This state of rest upon the danger indicates that the threat has become a known part of the surroundings.

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.
