2. SNAKE.

  In our physical life, the Object snake, which is also called serpent by some people, is notoriously poisonous. It has a deadly venom which is capable of killing humans. So, we understand that snake is a killer therefore, we consider it to be an enemy. Many people run for their dear life once they see a snake. Hence, and individual's soul recognize the object snake, in the physical surroundings as an enemy of man.

  But in the Scriptures of God; the snake which is our next Object in our dreams analysis and interpretations; is mentioned in Genesis 3: 15. We read that God placed enmity between the snake and human beings. And each time we watch preachers or hear the teachings in the media, the soul records the snake as an enemy.

  Now, when God speaks to the spirit of man in a dream concerning his enemies; the soul of man brings the object of snake into perspective because, the Element of enmity is described. This is so, because the soul understands it as such. It is not surprising, because the man is already aware from the Scriptures that the snake has been his enemy from the beginning of creation.

  Having said that, we shall elaborate on the various Symbols that are key to the analysis of the dreams involving a snake with a view of understanding their interpretations.

A. SIZE:

A python or a very big snake in a dream means a strong, powerful or a very deadly enemy.

B. NUMBER:

Many snakes in a dream implies that the individual's enemies are many.

C. LIFE:

A live snake means that one has enemies who are alive and active. But dead snake is shown to inform one that his or her enemies are dead, defeated or destroyed.

D. ACTIVITY:

A snake that chases man in a dream, shows that the individual's enemies are alive and working against him. If the snake moves on air, it is particularly indicative of spiritual enemies.

E. BATTLE:

  Where a snake is shown running away from the individual or the individual was unable to kill the snake before he wakes from the dream; it shows that the enemy escaped defeat. If the fangs or teeth of a snake were seen in the body where as, no snake was seen biting the victim; it speaks of the injuries inflicted by an enemy long ago or the injuries inflicted by a spiritual enemy or that caused by an unknown enemy.

  But in a dream situation, where the fangs or teeth of the snake were removed from the body while still dreaming; this implies that wicked machinations or evil plans of the enemy have been nullified, cancelled or destroyed. When one kills a snake in dream, he has conquered his or her enemies. And in a dream where a Cutlass, weapons or instruments were brought to the dreamer or he held such weapons for killing the snake in the dream; it means that he has helpers, whether they are divine or human; in the fight against the enemy.
