But what does this mean?
Generally, the Dreaming of snake in water symbolizes your emotions and feelings. But the type of water also plays a vital role in telling what type of feelings and emotions does your dream represents. If the water was muddy or dirty, then it represents negative emotions like Confusion, Nervousness, etc., but if the water was clean, then it represents positive emotions like happiness, joy, excitement and more.
If in your dream, the snake was trying to harm you in water, then this means that your emotions are getting out of control and you must control them before it completely goes out of control. This is a sign that something disastrous will happen if you let your emotions go out of control. If the snake was not trying to harm you, then it means that you are dealing with positive emotions in your life.

I had a Dream of 2 snakes 1 big and thick ” Red and black” the other one was very little and you could not tell its color. I remember thinking that the little snake did not belong with the bigger one I had a pole and was going to try and kill the snake and When I Went to smash it The Ceiling dropped as if it was like a Drop type Block Ceiling and The snakes both ”spiraled” up into the house or wherever it was I was at. I can remember feeling like Oh’ No the little one Followed but with in seconds I thought well it was teach it how to survive and they will find a place to stay warm. I have a lot going on in my personal life I could almost pinpoint all this to but I am worried it being a snake. I never remember my Dreams and this one stood out very much ! Could anyone help me with the meaning behind this. I have been dealing with thoughts of a unfaithful boyfriend and I have a child involved in this web of deceit in my Personal life. My Best friend of 20 years is the one my Bf is seeing or That I think is seeing but I have no proof at all.. My instincts as a mother have been telling me this guy Evil. I am worried that he is going to lead my son in the wrong path of life. I am not perfect myself But I do Live in love and have a firm Foundation In God. I have been praying and I have been seeking answers and I guess I do not like the answers I am getting and I keep trying to change it.. I keep questioning myself and My God..

I had hopes that maybe now the deceit was over and that a new Leaf has turned and that things are going to change. I have lots of faith but can only change myself !!
Good morning! I am Melody. I dreamt days ago of small but colorful snakes in the bed with a baby beside me. Instead of being frightened I pulled those snakes on their tails and threw them away from. In my dream these snakes were so harmless and that I am the one getting them on the sides even on the bed where I am lying with the baby smiling near beside me. In reality, I am too and so, so afraid of snakes though I was born in the year of the snakes. But honestly speaking, when I woke up, I started to feel nervous of such dream. What is the meaning of this dream. Please help me! Thank you very much! And God bless us all! ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™
