Read more →How to use this site
A dream meaning is a starting point, not a verdict.
The same symbol can mean different things depending on what happened, how you felt and what is happening in waking life. Use dictionary entries to generate questions, not to outsource your judgement to a fixed definition.
Look at the emotion first
Fear, relief, embarrassment and curiosity can change the significance of exactly the same scene.
Notice the unusual detail
A red snake, an empty house or a missed train often gives more context than the broad symbol alone.
Separate culture from science
Traditional interpretations can be culturally meaningful without being scientifically proven.
Watch recurring patterns
Repeated themes may be worth journalling, especially if they coincide with stress, change or disrupted sleep.
