Night visions are filled with the most bizarre images, many of which confuse us, and sometimes even frighten us. In order to correctly understand the meaning lurking in them, it is necessary to have special esoteric knowledge, and if they are not, then turn to the writings of recognized authorities in this very vague area, because much depends on the details of what you see. Let's analyze this using the example of what the snake in the house dreams of. In the dream books we will find comprehensive answers to this question.

Bad Omen

We will start our review from afar, namely from the 7th century BC, in which the famous Greek fabulist Aesop lived and worked, leaving behind, in addition to moralizing writings, also a wonderful dream book. The snake in the house, in his opinion, is a very bad omen, regardless of the general plot of the dream. For example, if she lies quietly in the middle of the dwelling,then this means that in reality the dreamer is going to provide (or is already providing) assistance to a person unworthy of his care.

Also, the image of an aggressive snake attacking the dreamer does not bode well. It is very possible that after such a vision, he will have to defend his reputation from slanderers in real life, and if the reptile still manages to bite, then his good name will be hopelessly tarnished. Even the sight of newborns and helplessly swarming serpents should not be taken with tenderness, since it promises the dreamer a quick betrayal of loved ones.

What did Nostradamus warn about?

Having moved in time and slightly delayed in the 16th century, we could make inquiries on the issue of interest to us from the outstanding French mystic, astrologer and soothsayer - Nostradamus, who gave the world his wonderful dream book. He also did not consider it possible to devote warm lines to the snakes in the house.

In his opinion, in a dream, these creatures are a sign of guile and black ingratitude on the part of those who in reality took advantage of our generosity and generosity. If you see a reptile with several heads - a sort of three-headed serpent, then it is better not to tempt fate, but to wake up as soon as possible. Only Ilya Muromets can cope with such a monster, but it will bring many troubles and all sorts of troubles to ordinary people.

The dream book of Nostradamus interprets the black snake seen in the house as a warning about the appearance of a secret enemy, ready to entangle the dreamer with his nets in reality. Authorrecommends that, without waking up, kill her and thereby save yourself from unnecessary trouble. If a black reptile not only inspires fear with its appearance, but goes over to an open attack, then it is possible that in real life this person will become a victim of an accident.

Reputation ruined at the dawn of existence

Among the authors whose works have come down to us from time immemorial, one cannot ignore the compilers of the famous "Bible Dream Book". The snake in the house is presented by them as an extremely gloomy character, and this is not surprising. The above interpretation is dominated by motifs inspired by that ancient story, when a cunning and insidious serpent, or rather the devil, who took on his appearance, led our common foremother Eve into temptation.

Eating at his instigation from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and pushing her simple-minded husband Adam to this, she made all future generations of people pay for this sin. That is why the authors of the "Bible Dream Book" interpret these representatives of the suborder of reptiles (as they are called in the scientific world) as a symbol of evil, enmity and deceit.

What the dark forces can tell about

Now let's turn to the esoteric reference book that is very popular these days with the intriguing title "Dream Book of the Sorceress Medea". We will treat him with full confidence, because who, if not a representative of the other world, understands the intricacies of night visions. So, unlike the authors of other dream books, the snake in the house is represented by Medea asa very friendly and somewhat helpful being. However, what else can you expect from a sorceress?

For example, if the dreamer dreamed that she was resting peacefully next to him, then he would have better he alth ahead, good luck in business, as well as making wise and deeply thought-out decisions. It is not bad to see a large snake frolicking merrily in the house. In the dream book, this plot is interpreted as a harbinger of unprecedented success in the love field. It is possible that the upcoming relationship will not be warmed up by high feelings, but it will bring voluptuousness and outright lust in abundance.

Beware of boas

This will be especially pronounced if the hero of a night dream turns out to be a boa constrictor, because it is not without reason that among various magicians and warlocks it is a symbol of carnal temptation. The only thing that the sorceress Medea (or those who speak on her behalf) warns about is the danger of snake bites. Deadly in reality, they can cause considerable harm even in a dream, because in real life they are harbingers of illness, betrayal and betrayal.

Freud and the features of his worldview

A very peculiar interpretation of the reptiles that appeared in a dream was left to us by the famous Austrian psychoanalyst of the beginning of the last century, Sigmund Freud. His tendency to see in everything a manifestation of human sexuality or its violent suppression was also reflected in the dream book he compiled. In a dream, a snake (in the house or outside it - it does not matter) is perceived by the author as a symbol of … the penis. For some reason nothingshe did not remind the venerable scientist of another. Based on this, readers are offered interpretations of various plot combinations with her participation.

So, if a man sees a snake basking under the rays of the sun, then this indicates a high sexual tone of the dreamer, with which he could be congratulated, but on the condition that the reptile did not try to get into his bed. Such a turn of the plot, according to Freud, testifies to his hidden or obvious homosexual inclinations or to the danger that threatens him from some non-traditionally oriented subject.

Developing this topic, the author further writes that a snake biting a man indicates that homosexuality in his life will not only supplant normal relationships with women, but will also cause acute feelings caused by conflict with others. However, if it was not the dreamer himself who was bitten, but another person, then this indicates his attraction to this person or to someone else, if the victim was not identified by him.

A drop of honey in a barrel of tar

A much more optimistic forecast is given by the author to women who dreamed of a snake in the house. Freud's dream book promises them quick and very pleasant changes in the intimate sphere. Perhaps married life, which has lost its former sharpness over the years, will reach a new level and still give unforgettable sensations, or perhaps their feminine charms will turn the heads of some third-party admirers, and they will knock on their hearts. In any case, nothing bad should be expected.

Opinion of overseasspecialist

Much less sympathy for snakes can be traced in the work of the prominent American psychologist Gustav Miller. According to the dream book he compiled at the beginning of the 20th century, many snakes in the house can be seen if a person lives in constant and sometimes unreasonable fear for his he alth. In addition, this plot may be fraught with a very real danger of encroachment by ill-wishers poisoned by envy of the success and well-being of the dreamer.

It is not known whether Mr. Miller was a staunch snake-hater by nature or was guided only by scientific research, but in his interpretation, literally all dreams involving these reptiles are harbingers of innumerable manifestations of evil. Even having killed this reptile in a dream, a person cannot be calm about his future, since such a plot speaks of his willingness to do anything to achieve his goal, but at the same time does not guarantee a successful outcome of the enterprise.

The snake is a harbinger of betrayal and deceit

As for women, for whom, according to Freud, snakes are harbingers of new love pleasures, Mr. Miller leaves them no chance even for these joys. Moreover, he promises them incalculable suffering from the duplicity and hypocrisy of their chosen ones. Especially negative, according to him, are dreams in which a woman is bitten by a dead (or, if you like, dead) snake. In this case, in reality it will be extremely difficult for her to recover from mental shocks and regain spiritual harmony.

The overseas psychologist considers the only exception to the plot of a dream in which a woman kills a snake with her own hands. Despite the fact that such a dream does not promise her personal happiness or business prosperity, it may indicate that with her uncompromisingness she will force herself, if not to love, then, in any case, to respect.
