As you know, sleep plays a very significant role in human life. It brings with it rest from daily activities and helps to restore wasted energy. But he also has another important function: correctly interpreted night visions help to correctly comprehend current events and foresee future ones. You can understand the meaning inherent in them with the help of dream books compiled by the most authoritative and recognized experts. They will find the answer to any question that interests us, well, for example, why is the red snake dreaming?
Symbol of lust and financial ruin
We will start our review from afar, namely from the 16th century - the era when the famous astrologer, philosopher, and at the same time the interpreter of dreams Michel Nostradamus lived in France. His judgments about what a red snake means in a dream can be fully trusted, since the centuries that have passed since the death of the scientist have proved the truthfulness and validity of all his statements.
He had a very preconceived opinion about the red-headed reptiles he saw in a dream. So, in his writings it is said that they usually dream of those people who in reality are overwhelmed by lust and other basedesires. In addition, their image threatens a person with loss of fortune and deprivation of other benefits. True, the sage immediately makes a reservation that this prediction applies only to those people who, according to the eastern calendar, were born under the sign of the snake. Further, he claims that the black snake seen in a dream symbolizes a secret ill-wisher plotting evil, and killing it is getting rid of possible troubles.
The image of a snake as a symbol of sexuality
Let's mentally move from Renaissance France to Austria at the beginning of the 20th century, where Sigmund Freud, the founder of scientific psychoanalysis, wrote his works, who saw sexuality or the consequences of its suppression as the basis of all thoughts and actions of a person. In the dream book he compiled, you can also find the answer to the question of what the red snake is dreaming of, and he gives it based on the characteristics of the sexual instinct.
So, the snake is in his interpretation a kind of symbol of the masculine, and its appearance indicates the peculiarities of the dreamer's sexual life. So, its increased sexual activity may be evidenced by the unusually large size of the reptile, a pronounced aggressive behavior and a bright, especially red color of the head. Further, the author writes that a snake bite indicates that in reality the dreamer will soon have a rival, and if he sees a reptile peacefully basking in the sun, he can be sure of his masculine abilities.
Opinion of an Austrian psychiatrist
Roughly in the same years when Mr. Freud told the public about the meaning of the sexual instinct,overseas, his American colleague Gustav Miller published his scientific works. In his dream book, which has gained worldwide popularity, there was also a place for comments about what the red snake is dreaming of. In this image, the venerable psychiatrist almost always saw an omen of some evil inclination. As for the plot details of what he saw, they, in his opinion, indicated only what kind of attack would soon fall on the dreamer.
Thus, a snake wrapped around his body promises illness, and a snake lurking in the bushes - insidious machinations of secret ill-wishers. If you dream of a reptile with a red head or covered with bright spots, then this indicates that in reality he suffers from real or imaginary neglect from others. Only if the dreamer finds the courage to grab with his hands and kill the dreaming reptile, in reality he will be able to defeat his enemies and safely avoid other blows of fate.
Symbol of a beautiful but treacherous woman
In one of the most difficult periods of history for Russia, when the atheist government of the Bolsheviks came to power in the country, all kinds of fortune-tellers and clairvoyants began to enjoy special popularity. On this wave, the Polish interpreter of night visions, who bore the pseudonym Miss Hasse, also gained wide popularity. At present, as well as a hundred years ago, she is one of the most respected and sought-after connoisseurs of dreams.
In the dream book she compiled, the red snake personifies the cunning, quirky, butat the same time, an unusually beautiful woman who, one way or another, is able to influence the fate of the person to whom she appears in night dreams. For girls and married ladies, she can portend the appearance of an insidious rival, and for a man promise an unexpected romance that will end in big trouble for him. In both cases, one must try to kill a red snake in a dream, then the intrigues of the beautiful intruder will be upset: rivals will remain out of work, and men will get away with their involuntary hobbies.
What did the Bulgarian dream interpreter tell the world?
The famous blind soothsayer Vanga, just like her predecessor Nostradamus, who became famous for many fulfilled predictions, spoke more than once about the meaning of a snake with a red head seen in a dream. It is characteristic that the ability to think on a global scale did not prevent her from addressing the personal problems of individual people and commenting on the night visions that visited them.
Just like most interpreters, she considered the image of a snake a symbol of impending dangers, but she attached great importance to whether the dreaming reptile was poisonous or not. In the first case, the dreamer had no hopes for a favorable outcome of events, and only a snake or snake that appeared in a dream could promise him a happy ending. Note that a black snake seen in a dream, regardless of the presence of poison in it, was considered a bad sign.
Sign of illness of close relatives
The bite of a reptile Vanga regarded as a symbol of imminent betrayal by a loved one. She did not bypassattention and the question of what dreams of many snakes twisted into a ball. Such a vision, according to her, portends the envy of others, caused by the material or family well-being of a person. A snake with a red head in her mind was a particularly bad omen, promising a serious illness or even death of one of the blood relatives. The only way to fix the situation was to kill her and try to rip out the stinger.
Don't be afraid of dream snakes
No sympathy for snakes and the pastor of the American Baptist Church, David Loff. Being both a clergyman and a practicing psychotherapist, he gained fame in our country thanks to the dream book he published, which, among other things, reveals the question of what the red snake is dreaming of. As befits a true specialist, Mr. Loff does not give an unequivocal answer, but recommends paying attention to a number of circumstances, the main among which, in his opinion, is the dreamer's reaction to the image of a reptile that appeared to him.
If a snake in a dream causes fear in a person, then in reality he can really expect trouble, and it depends on the degree of fright how serious they will be. However, the one in whom the sight of the reptile did not cause such emotions is not in danger. Moreover, for him, the snake, which has been a symbol of wisdom from time immemorial, can serve as a harbinger of certain events, thanks to which he will significantly expand his horizons. This may be admission to an educational institution, a trip to some unfamiliar country, or howat least familiarity with a new and meaningful book.
Sayings of a Russian expert on dreams
Now let's turn to the dream book compiled by our esteemed compatriot - a talented writer and artist Evgeny Tsvetkov. Explaining to readers the meaning of the widest range of night visions, the author dwells, in particular, on what dreams of many snakes crawling towards a sleeping person and surrounding him in a dense ring. In his opinion, this frightening image can serve as the personification of human malice and deceit, which have become part of his real life. In this case, general advice cannot help, and everyone must look for their own way out of the situation.
Mr. Tsvetkov interprets a number of other plots in which snakes appear to the dreamer. For example, an attack on him by one or more reptiles means the onset of a disease, the symptoms of which will not be slow to appear. A snake bite portends a major quarrel with someone close, and if at the same time it seems to a person that he should die, struck by poison, then in reality he will face the collapse of the brightest hopes. In addition, the author recommends that you be on the lookout for those in whose night dreams the black snake crawls, since its image serves as a symbol of a secret, and therefore especially dangerous enemy, building his cunning plans.
An interpreter from the shores of ancient Hellas
Curious information about the secret meaning of the red snakes seen in a dream can also be found in the dream book, the authorship of which is attributed to the famous ancient Greek poet and fabulistAesop. He approaches the interpretation of this image very carefully and thoughtfully, because, on the one hand, snakes, no matter what color they are, symbolize evil and deceit, and on the other hand, they embody wisdom, renewal and transformation (remember the property of a snake to change skin).
The image of a snake while hunting and drinking water
In particular, the author writes that a person who sees a hunting snake in his night dreams runs the risk of falling under the influence of some stronger personality who intends to establish his priority over him. At the same time, he notes that it is not known how this will affect the future fate of the dreamer himself, since everything will depend on the moral qualities of the one whose will will guide his actions. Such diktat can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on him.
Further, Aesop (or the one who speaks on his behalf) writes that it is highly undesirable to see a snake drinking water in a dream - this suggests that in reality he will become a victim of betrayal by a loved one. If the snake is red, then one of the blood relatives can act as Judas, and therefore, this blow will be especially painful.
