There are many interpretations on snake dream also which can be confusing to someone who is trying to find the meaning of such dreams.

I don't know about you but I have a fear of snakes and I'm sure that is not uncommon.  To me then a snake dream wouldn't be a good dream unless in my dream I had learned how to control that fear and then it would be a good dream and might indicate that I had overcome some aspect in my life that this represents. You can see that how you feel about snakes, and how they appear in your snake dream will determine it's meaning.

In the bible the snake is seen to be a creature that tempts someone against doing the right thing and if this dream reminds you of this type of battle then it may really indicate a competitive relationship you are having either at work or home.  It could also be seen as a fight against reaching your own personal or business goals.

Among many cultures the snake is seen as a symbol of wisdom and beauty.  if you see the snake in your dream in this way then the dream may be about renewal, problem solving and good news.  This snake dream may be asking you will need to find the answers of someone that is happening in your life just now.

Carl Jung associates dreams of snakes as a symbol of health and medicine.  In modern times the medical profession is symbolized with a snake wrapped around a staff of the healing god.  Jung believes that the snake represents the connection between earth and heaven. If your snake sheds it's skin then it may mean renewal or transformation in your life.

Recurring dreams may indicate that the fear or problem hasn't been resolved. You need to work through the problem so that you won't have to keep dreaming the dream over and over.  Often lucid dreaming may help you resolve those issues.

To really find out the meaning of your snake dream you must ask yourself, how did I feel, what is my attitude towards snakes, am I alone or who am I with then I see the snake and if I am with others what do they feel or how do they react.  This will give you some insight into the meaning of your dream.  This worked for me and I no longer have these dreams and this is really worthwhile in the long run for you too.

Lucid dreaming put quite simply is knowing that you are dreaming something while you are dreaming it.  There are feelings of everything in your dream as being real even when you are aware that they are not.  It is some sort of an awakening that puts you into your dream while you are still dreaming it.  You can learn how to lucid dream and control what goes on in your dreams just by doing some simple exercises.

Lucid dreaming is often used by those who are looking for ways to ease anxiety, nightmares, or simply for those who want to go off into some fantasy world of their choosing when they go to sleep.

How fast you learn how to lucid dream will depend on whether it comes naturally, or whether you have to work on it,  how well you recall your dreams, and how well you have developed your critical thinking faculty.  Diligently practicing your mental exercises will also train your mind to get you in a state of awareness while you are still dreaming.

Dream recall exercises are recommended for beginners wanting to learn to lucid dream.  Upon waking up, do not do anything, try to remember your dream and write it down as you describe your dream.  I know I say it a lot in these posts but recording your dream is vital. Trying to recall your dreams is an important step in learning lucid dreaming since it conditions the mind.  Waking up while still dreaming and then going back to sleep with the dream in mind could help you get into a lucid dream mode.

The Unexplainable Store has great binaural beat music that can help you achieve lucid dreaming.  I love their mp3 downloads.

Nightmares can be caused by both physical and psychological causes.  Those who are suffering from high fever are known to have such disturbing delusional dreams.  And then, there are those who are faced with psychological trauma and stress.  People who have had traumatic experiences such as being tortured, being in an accident or being threatened could have these experiences come back to them in their dreams, causing them to wake up in a state of distress.  These people often find it hard to go back to sleep for fear that they will have the same nightmare again.

The reason you are having your nightmare differs from anyone else experiencing the same thing.  If your nightmares are occurring with regularity and of a certain recurring theme, you should consult your physician.  Medical and psychological treatment can be done to help you stop these nightmares from interrupting your sleep.  A treatment called imagery rehearsal is one of the recent developments in dream therapy.  This kind of treatment has been found to reduce the occurrence of these bad dreams as a result of and acute stress disorder or a post traumatic stress disorder.  Ask your doctor about this therapy and whether it is right for you.

Practicing lucid dreaming is also another way by which a nightmare can be controlled.  By being aware that your nightmare is only a dream, you can fully control the way your nightmare turns out when you are in a state of lucidity.
