I dreamed that my husband daughter and i was standing in clear water, there were
a few black snakes on one side but there was a brown looking snake with 2 heads
i point it out to my husband….the snake heads were the form of humans and it
had a smile…when we got out of the water my husband took out a pair of his
underwears and left on a bicycle…we argued and then i threw the underwear in
his face, he left me and my daughter behind and i walked along the road back
home…. can you please interpret that dream for me?
A lot of dreamologists place tons of emphasis on the snakes, themselves, in dreams. They’ll associate them with deep, dark, hidden emotions or desires. Personally, I think it’s a lot simpler than that. I believe that snake dreams have two main purposes and symbolisms:
1. I think our mind uses snakes very often as a means of ensuring that we’ll remember the dream! For people who are like me, they are their #1 fear - and, therefore, extremely memorable.
2. The fear factor, itself, is important. If snakes are, in fact, one of the things you fear the most - whatever is happening in the dream is an inner fear that you may not even be aware of.
In your case, the presence of the snakes along with the situation you described: …”he left me and my daughter behind…” seems to indicate that you may have a fear of being abandoned or left. There may be a relative in your life who has been sick, or a friend with whom you’ve argued, or a situation in your marriage that has you concerned. But keep in mind that it doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with your husband - just because he was in the dream with you doesn’t mean he’s the one you’re afraid of “losing”.
Many people have this sort of dream when their children either start school or begin college. They aren’t afraid of losing them for good - but they are afraid of losing a piece of them.
Thanks for sharing your dream - and I hope that your fear turns out to be completely unfounded. Best wishes and happiness-

I haven’t been sleeping good lately. I have been having the same dream every
night. My dream starts out with me laying in my bed in the dark and I start
feeling spiders crawling on me. I try to knock them off me when I realize there
is a stranger in my room. I yell to my husband and he doesn’t move. I can’t make
out the fugure it just kinda floats around the room looking at me. I usually
wake up from these in another room in my house with really bad chest pains and I
can’t breathe. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Dreams like this indicate that something is “haunting” the dreamer. It could be regret, worry, guilt, indecision…basically any emotion that doesn’t have closure.
These dreams are our mind’s way of forcing us to deal with things we’d really just rather sweep under the rug. The more ”ghastly” the dream is, the more important it is that we deal with our feelings. And, maybe it’s because I have a STRONG phobia of spiders - but I’d say this dream is about as ghastly as it gets!
Just take a few minutes and ask yourself what sort of emotions you’ve been bottling up lately. Then, decide the best way to confront them Many, many, many times - just becomming AWARE of the emotions is all that’s needed. That should be enough to get rid of the 8 legged demons.
Best of luck, and thanks for sharing your very interesting dream!

I had a dream about falling down in snow…my hand went deepinto the snow and
then I felt a sharp pain and as I pulled my hand out of the snow ….I had
sliced my left palm of my hand open and it gushed blood…I grabbed the area and
put pressure on it and then woke up.
This dream is actually more important because of the clean white snow than it is for the fall, itself.
Usually when we dream of snow, or often rain, our subconcious is trying to get us to clean something up in our life. Usually, the dream will include something memorable like a vivid color (the blood), an incident (a fall), or sometimes a person from our past - something that will STAND OUT, to insure that we remember the dream.
I’d say that it isn’t a very big problem in your life, but that you are aware (deep down) that you need to clean it up and make it….well, white as snow.
Thanks so much for sharing your very interesting dream!

I am engaged to the father of my children. Although we have been together for
many years, I recently fell in love with someone else (I will call him John). I
had a really odd dream where I was giving birth to a baby and I asked John to
watch. He did and I gave birth to a really tiny baby that almost looked like an
embryo. I put the baby in the refridgerator and John and I left. I had
forgotten about the baby but then I remembered that my baby’s father would watch
it. I prayed that night before I went to sleep that I would have a dream that
would be about John and my future and if John was waiting for me to approach him
about him and I having a relationship where we are more than just friends.
I took my time with this dream, because the symbolisms and emotional currents were so strong.
The baby would indicate a strong desire on your part for no one to get hurt. When we dream of infancts, it’s usually symbolic of our desire to “take care of,” “nurture,” or “fix” something in particular. In your case, I believe you want desperately to fix your relationships.
The fact that things didn’t end at all well for the baby in your dream indicates that you know you aren’t doing a very good job of taking care of, nurturing, or fixing this situation in real life. Your mind seems to be saying that trying to “Hide” your feelings isn’t the answer. You have to get things “Into the open” - as opposed to, say, hidden in a refrigerator as your dream self did with the baby.
I wish you the best of luck - you’re living on a very dangerous line, emotionally, and I hope you move to a more peaceful and safe one very soon. I hope and pray that everything works out for all of you.

Please help. Last night I dreamed that I helped a cat (not mine) deliver a
beautiful black kitten with blue eyes. He was so cute, I thought I might keep
him; however, he apparently belonged to my next door neighbor, because when the
neighbor walked over to me, I congratulated him on the birth of this new kitten.
He snatched up the kitten, and at first I thought he wanted to cuddle it, but
then he proceeded to turn its fur inside out and kill it. I did not see him
actually kill it in the dream, but I saw enough to know what he did, and I ran
away screaming. I am very disturbed by this dream. Any insight you could give
would be greatly appreciated.
This sort of dream is pretty common, but incredibly disturbing. Any time we dream of a death, the trauma stays with us for days.
Your dream points to a few feelings you may be struggling with in your day to day life.
- Eagerness to help. I’d be willing to bet that you know of at least one situation right now where someone needs your help and doesn’t seem to realize it. From your viewpoint, you can see exactly what this person needs, even if they can’t. You KNOW you could help them if you could just find a way to make them listen.
- Frustrated. It could be the situation above that’s causing you to feel frustrated, or it could be a totally unrelated situation. But the dream seems to indicate a pretty high level of frustration in your life.
- Helplessness. You are feeling relative helpless lately. You strike me as a person who is usually very much in control, but has lately had to give up some of that control - and you strike me as someone who doesn’t like that one little bit!
When an individual irons out the wrinkles in their daily life, their dreams will be alot smoother.
Thanks so much for sharing your dream - and best of luck. I’m 100 percent certain that there is a situation in your life where someone needs your help and/or advice. Giving it to them will make both of you feel better.

ok. so, for a while, i’ve been having a lot of dreams that i get a new piercing.
like, in one dream i’ll get a belly ring. in another, i’ll get a nose ring or
another piercing in my ears. It never fails, everytime i have these dreams, the
ring always falls out. What is up with that??
Wow, that’s a very interesting one.
The symbolisms in this dream are very complex - and even contradictory. They’re also very vivid and, actually pretty clear in the meaning they’re trying to convey.
I’ve found that when an individual dreams of trying to mark themselves, whether by piercings or tattoos - it symbolizes a feeling of self-directed anger, frustration, or disappointment. Put simply, during the time(s) these sort of dreams occur, the dreamer doesn’t exactly love themself. They may have lost their cool when they know they shouldn’t have, they may have gotten a B on a test they know they could have aced, they may have forgotten to send a card to a friend on their birthday, etc.
When these dreams recur, it’s a case of the subconcious telling the dreamer: “Do something about it!”
The fact that the ring(s) fall out add a lovely little twist to the symbolism. It’s one of two things:
1. You aren’t willing to accept 100 percent of the blame. For example, if you’re feeling guilty for a particular argument - you know you didn’t start it, conduct it, or finish it on your own! So, sure, you feel guilty for your end of it - but you’ll be dashed if you’ll accept ALL the blame.
2. You accept the blame totally and completely - but haven’t a clue what to do about it. You want to make things right, but are afraid that your efforts will simply make them worse.
Only you know for sure, of course. I hope everything works out perfectly for you - just remember, the worst thing to ever do is to do nothing at all.
Joi
P.S. This dream’s a very good example of why outdated dream guides are of no use whatsoever. For example, 10 years ago, to dream of piercings would be symbolic of rebellion. Today, however - unless the individual lives in a very conservative culture or family - they aren’t nearly as thunderous on the shock scale. Times, cultures, and people change - which is why the symbolisms in dream analysis change. All of that is why I do a Dream Analysis Blog - you can’t get more up-to-date than day by day!

I had a dream where I was in an unground parking of some kind. Thier was a man
in a crouched position with his arms over his face. For some reason I could feel
his emotions. I slowly walked up to the man, nelt down beside him and sing the
word “OLYMPIA” in his ear. It was surprizing to even myself once I sang the word
because it was so beautiful I almost shed a tear. Once this ended it felt like
the sun broke threw the clouds of a storm and all light was on us. Calm,
Peaceful…?
A beautiful dream!
The symbolism here is a search for peace. If things have been sort of crazy in your life - either at home, at school, or at work - your subconcious is, understandably, trying to get you to find a peaceful balance.
It allowed you to have a dream where you could experience total peace - hoping that you would fall SO in love with the feeling that you search it out in your day-to-day life.
Whether you start finding time each day to totally relax, or whether you take a mini vacation - start carving out a little peace for yourself. The joy you felt from your dream? It can be yours on a day to day basis if you look hard enough!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful dream!

first dream : i had a very big fight with two of my best friends, a guy and a
girl. Somehow, i can feel the anger and the emotion on the dreams. in reality,
days before, i had fight with my best friend, the guy in the dream, but we
talked it through and we’re friends again now .
somehow, after that everyday i keep dreaming bout him, but never good dreams, i
couldn’t really remember ..
last night, I dreamt that we (my best friend and i) went to the movie , as we
walked toward the cinema, we met our other two friends, then the 2 friends and
my best friend started holding hand and ran toward the cinema, i tried to keep
out, suddenly my best friend hold my hand and throw me way to the front, somehow
i knew that he didn’t want me to be there, i started running and crying and get
out of the cinema.
In reality i can feel the emotion in my dreams, i feel lonely, sad, angry, and
betrayed .. and now i’m worry that i’m goi’ to lose this friendship ..
please tell me what it means and i’m sorry for my bad english as i’m not a
native speaker ..
First of all, don’t worry about your English - you made yourself perfectly clear, which is a heck of a lot more than I’d be able to do in your native language! I honestly admire anyone who can speak more than one language - I’m impressed!
Second of all, don’t let your dreams worry you. They will not affect your friendship - only you could do that. If you were to get terribly nervous because of the dreams and start acting differently around your friend, rather than just being yourself - then, and only then, you might have a problem. Remember, relax and just be you!
When describing your dream, do you see the different descriptions you used? Sad, lonely, betrayed, angry - - - when we dream, the emotions we experience mirror the ones we’re experiencing in our day to day life. Many times, the dreams are so bothersome that they just add to the emotional baggage!
Once you realize that the dream is simply pointing out your inner feelings, the better you’ll feel. Our dreams act kind of like mirrors for our insides. During the day, we get so busy we sometimes forget to get in touch with what’s going on INSIDE. Our dreams point it out to us, so we can deal with it - before the feelings grow too large to handle.
Thank you for submitting your dream - by doing so, I’m sure you helped lots of other people in the same boat!
