Seeing A Green Snake In Dream – Spiritual Meanings:
One colorful night, I came face to face with a ferocious-looking green snake in my dreams.
At first, I literally looked up and thought…um what?
After a short while, I recognize that this dream is about an important message from the spirit of my soul.
Everything continued as normal, but it wasn’t long before I knew in my heart that this dream had not just happened for no reason and that it was indeed a serious spiritual message.
After many years, I finally realized that the green snake was a powerful symbol found in almost all cultures and spiritual traditions.
Green is the color that instantly connects with elements of Nature, growth and rebirth.
The green reminds us of the color full foliage in the spring or a thick-growth forest, and by default, is associated with re-birth.
Conversely, the snake is a reincarnation symbol that also represents healing and primal energy.
Its ability to molt and reemerge a new one is the epitome of change and rebirth.
When these two aspects — green and the snake — combine in a dream, they become an important image of one’s emotional and spiritual evolution.
In ancient cultures, snakes have been revered as symbols of wisdom and transformation.
One of the more interesting concepts, for example, in Hinduism, is Kundalini or a serpent.
It is said that a “coiled energy” — the kundalini lies dormant at the base of your spine!
As the different chakras are awakened through spiritual practice, this energy makes its way up through them and to the Sahasrara chakra resulting in states of deep inner awareness.
This symbolism of the snake is represented by latent energy, which, once released, transforms a person into an enlightened being.
It is about healing
It is also vital to mention ancient Greek mythology as such since snakes are known for their direct connection with Asclepius – the God of medicine.
Even today, you will still see the Rod of Asclepius with its single serpent coiled around a staff representing medicine and healing.
This Nature of snakes to regenerate their skin and renew themselves makes them a symbolical representation of healing.
Therefore, seeing a green snake in your dream may mean that you are about to go through the healing process – whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual.
It seems that this dream was a warning to show me the need for self-care.
I started doing more things that nourish my soul, like hanging out with Nature, meditating and moving a lot.
These honoured me to feel more in tune with myself and the rest of Gaia.
But I also learned that healing wasn’t just about physical pain. It was about emotional pain and spiritual wounds as well.
The green snake that came to me in my dream was a message and it said – you need healing everywhere.
But even though I was talking to God and felt more connected than ever before in my whole life still, after some time, I started breaking down under crying, exploring new emotions that were ripe inside of me.
Every step of the way, I began to heal and further rediscover who I truly was.
Each step just led me nearer and closer back to a state of wholeness, fullness and peace.
In the spiritual sense, the green snake was a wanderer on its path to self-realization.
So I started investigating habits that would improve spiritual growth, habits like mindfulness meditation and friends with whom to discuss my steps.
I felt refreshed through these and renewed a bond with my inner self.
It is about a connection with Nature
Snakes, by Nature, live so close to the ground.
They are beings that seem to radiate the earth’s primal energy as they flow noiselessly over the land.
This closeness to the ground is symbolic of this strong connection to Mother Earth, a bond that many times we forget about due to how busy our lives are.
The color green only strengthens this connection which gives a mighty representation of our relationship with Nature for what it is.
I spend a lot of time coaching about returning to Nature as our grounding.
In our modern world, which continues to speed up and provide us with nothing but distractions at every turn, this natural bond is most often broken.
As such, dreaming of a green snake can be an invitation to free yourself from material things and explore Nature.
For me, this dream was an alarm bell.
I began walking in the park every day, with my feet on the ground and breathing fresh air.
It was very meditative to spend this time in Nature, and even I could feel how the subtle energies of the environment affected me.
The changing seasons mirrored the rhythms of my life, and I began to understand decay and renewal.
With every walk, I began to feel more connected with something other than myself.
The healing is a balance, Nature can restabilize itself.
As gracefully as the green snake in my dreams slithered through its natural world, I was gliding amongst life, knowing what needed to be done to me.
I retreated to the healing power of Nature, my haven where I could hide myself from the world and find that peace.
It is about facing fears
Snakes have been associated with fear forever.
Aside from this, they can be very elusive and threatening, causing a deep uneasiness.
I took this message literally and started to work on areas of my life that scared me the most.
This process was not easy. It took a lot of self-reflection, guts and being able to be vulnerable.
I had to face old things head-on and push through uncomfortable feelings when stepping into the unknown. But whenever I did face that fear, I always turned out freer and stronger for it.
Eventually, the green snake in my dream has become a symbol to represent how outrageously far I have come.
It conveyed the message that facing fear can suddenly become a process of revealing as well.
Instead of challenges being impossible things, they became opportunities for learning.
It was almost as if each one of those fears that I faced was an invisible layer being shed away, uncovering parts of me in ways I had not yet encountered myself.
A green snake in a dream can suggest that you have lost the balance of your energy!
The sinuous movement of a snake relates to the natural flow and release.
This is represented by the heart chakra, displayed in green and means that you will need to exert a little more self-control over your emotions if things are going to run smoothly.
