Despite all the positive symbolisms, not every Hindu interpretation of snakes has a good outcome. Also, if an individual dream about eating or chewing a snake, it speaks of the possibility of having children or coming into a large portion of wealth. For example, if a snake bites a person it means an ailment will be cured. The Swapna Shastra (Hindu interpretation of dreams) says that any dreams about snakes only indicate positivity.

Further, looking at a large and lengthy snake in one’s dream could be a warning of possible misfortune, while witnessing a snake coming out of a body part could mean the body part will suffer from physical discomfort in the near future. In other interpretations, the snake bite dream is considered a symbol of good fortune, whereas killing one signifies impending misfortune. In Hinduism, this awakening has great spiritual meaning referring to wisdom and fertility, which implies balance among the chaos of the cosmos. In this case, dreaming of a snake could signify that the individual’s kundalini is finally taking shape and coming back to life. A coiled serpent resting at the base of the spine is said to be symbolic of the kundalini, also known as the spiritual energy that rests at the base of the spine.

Along these lines, if an individual has a dream about catching a snake, it is said to be a symbol of victory over the dark forces in his/her life. It is said that the cobra around Shiva’s neck is the symbolism of his control over malignant forces. Naga or cobra is a symbol that needs no introduction in the religion and is often associated with Lord Shiva. It is a well-known fact that snakes are revered and feared in the Hindu religion.
