Benedita LumeCapturing a snake shows a hidden enmity or a threat that moves in the shadows of your life. This dream shows a moment where you attempt to grasp a treachery that has been working against you.
The act of catching such a thing is a way of subduing a danger before it can strike. You find yourself in a position where you must confront what is slippery and dishonest to keep it from causing harm. I have held a heavy, silent worry in my own hands, and I know how the heart tightens. You possess the strength to meet these difficulties head-on. You carry the calm that comes when the trickery is finally caught.
Handling snakes or catching many snakes shows that the deceit you face is not a single event but a surrounding atmosphere of many small plots. This expands the dream to show that you are managing a wider web of untrustworthy people or situations.
A venomous snake or a big snake makes the threat feel much more potent and heavy. The scale of the danger is larger, which means the effort to subdue it requires a much deeper reserve of your courage.
The green snake shows a treachery that is new and growing, like weeds in a patch of soil.
Trying to catch a snake shows that the danger is still loose and the trouble is not yet settled.
Picking up a snake or grabbing a snake is a sudden, direct movement toward the problem. It shows a person who does not wait for the threat to move first, but instead reaches out to claim it.
Holding a snake means you have the danger within your reach, but it has not yet been put to rest.
Grabbing a snake by the head or holding a snake by the head is the highest form of control. By taking hold of the very source of the movement, you show a mastery over the malice that seeks to unsettle you, dear.
A black snake or catching a black snake points to a darkness in the motives of others. This detail deepens the sense of a shadow being brought into the light.
