Snake
What it can mean
Snakes are among the most common dream animals and carry many layers: fear, hidden threats, temptation and desire — but also healing and transformation, as a snake sheds its skin. A snake can point to someone you don't fully trust, or to an energy within you that wants to change. How you felt around it is the best clue.
A question to sit with
What in your life feels slippery, tempting — or ready to shed its skin?
