Dreaming of a snake biting you is a warning signal from your unconscious mind (creator of your dreams) for urgent action to be taken regarding a key situation you are avoiding, neglecting or disregarding.

I invite you to read more the following interpretations, all of them based on my own experience helping people to understand their dreams:

Snake biting on part of the body

Dream of a snake biting my arms

If a snake bites your arm in a dream, it means that you are having a hard time coping with hostile, unfair or nasty situations. Indeed, this dream may be showing that you are are not able to protect yourself -emotionally speaking- in the face of an uneasy relation, circumstance or social environment.

The injury to your arms may be revealing that you have begun to recognize your inability to retain or protect things, situations or people you deem valuable in your life

Dreaming of snake biting my face

A snake biting your face in a dream is expressing your resentment, annoyance or irritation as a consequence of nasty or toxic comments you have received recently.

If you have had a dream of rattlesnakes or vipers biting your face, it means that you have severely criticized the previous day and, consequently, your personal reputation or social image took a big hit.

Dreaming that a snake is biting my head

To dream that a snake bites your head means that you are begun to acknowledge your own shortcomings or inner imperfections. It may also reveal that you are finally admitting the poor decisions taken in relation to a important matter in current life.

A snake biting your head could display the fact that you are having unpleasant and disturbing thoughts or ideas, which might be the cause of you worries and headaches.

Dreaming of a snake biting my shoulders

A snake biting your shoulder in a dream is revealing your concerns or problems with your sense self-confidence and pride. It is possible that you are being arrogant or stubborn because you are not listening to the advice given by your dear ones; perhaps you are being a little too cocky and do not want to respect the opinions of others.

Snake biting people

Dreaming of a snake biting a baby

If a baby is bitten by a snake in a dream, it means that you may be having issues or worries over something new in your life. Having a dreams in which a snake bites a baby reveals your concern about current situations that could be altering or threatening your disposition towards a new project you have just started (a career, a relationship, a business).

If you have a baby in real life then in most cases the dream may be just expressing the dreamer’s real worries or fears about something bad happening to her little one.

Dreaming of a snake biting my son

The first interpretation considers the dream as a simple manifestation of your worries about someone or something hurting your child in real life. Well, those are natural fears a good parent has.

In the world of dream interpretation, a small child -when you have none in wake life- could represent a personal project that you have started, something beautiful that needs to be protected because it is fragile, small and for whom you feel responsible during his growth.

Dreaming that snake bites your wife

Dreaming that a snake bites your wife is showing you are harboring worries over the current status of your relationship with her.

If in your dream a snake is biting your wife, it is showing she is going throughout a painful emotional process due to something serious in her life.
