What are the biblical meaning of snake dreams and their interpretation? Since time immemorial people have been dreaming of snakes. The symbolism of snake dreams is also discussed in detail in scripture (Genesis 3:1).
We see the devil using the character of a serpent to trick Eve to rebel against God. He deceived them that by disobeying God they will be like him, little did they know they were already like God as they were created in his image and likeness. They were placed in the garden of Eden to execute God’s Will.
The biblical symbolism of snake in dreams can best be interpreted based on:
- Where the snake bites in a dream.
- Based on the snake’s color in a dream.
- The snake’s action in the dream.
- The type of snake in question and its characteristics.
There are many sources from which we can draw the interpretation of snake symbolism. However, as believers in Jesus Christ, we are supposed to rely on God for the interpretation, for “in Christ Jesus is the total of all wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3

There is only one place in the scriptures where a snake is used to symbolize something positive. It is when God asked Moses to erect a brazen serpent that symbolized that the son of man shall be crucified to bring salvation to all who look to him. Therefore, the symbolism represented the redemption and salvation of mankind from his sinful nature.
The snake is portrayed as an evil entity. It represents the devil himself, the serpent in the garden of Eden. It also represents the schemes of the evil one, his cunning nature to deceive man to fall from the path of righteousness.
Since snakes are poisonous, they can also indicate evil influence and danger that lurks in the darkness to destroy the simple. It is fatal and can also cause paralysis and health issues. It may also indicate witchcraft or even a spell cast to cause sicknesses and poison your life entirely.
Snake dreams may symbolize spiritual warfare with demons of a higher ranking or even the devil himself.
