Snake
In traditional lore the snake symbolizes wealth, wisdom and is a classic conception dream. A large snake coming into your arms is an auspicious sign of fortune or a precious new tie.
In traditional Korean dream lore the snake stands for wealth, wisdom, and above all conception. The house-guarding serpent was long revered as a spirit of fortune, so snake dreams are read as auspicious far more often than the fright they cause would suggest. Size, color, and whether the snake approaches or flees change the reading entirely.
Readings by Situation
A large snake coming into your arms
The most powerful of the auspicious readings. For someone hoping for a child it is taken as a conception dream; otherwise it signals substantial wealth or a valuable new tie arriving. For anyone in business it hints at a sizeable deal about to close.
Being bitten by a snake
Easy to mistake for a nightmare, yet tradition reads it well. If the bite did not hurt, wealth and opportunity are attaching themselves to you; for someone who has been unwell it is read as a sign of recovery.
Seeing a white or golden snake
The finest of all snake dreams. The help of an influential person, significant wealth, and recognition tend to arrive together. The white snake in particular was held to be divine, marking the fulfilment of something long awaited.
A snake fleeing or dying
Something nearly in your grasp is slipping away. If you have been putting a matter off, close it now; the same goes for a person you should reach out to before the connection cools.
The fright of a snake dream makes people assume the worst, but tradition reads most of them toward wealth and fruition. The exception is being chased by many snakes, which points to gossip and tangled affairs — a time to guard your words.
