Snake in Dream Interpretation – Naga in Dream Meaning in Hindu Religion

Seeing snake or Naga in dream is very common for many people. In Hindu religion there is an ancient text known as Swapna Shastra which gives interpretation and meaning of various dreams. Snake in a dream is considered good as per the Swapna Shastra.

Most of the dreams involving snakes are imagined or is the result of seeing, talking or watching scenes involving snakes in the day or before sleeping. Such dreams are to be ignored and are considered as mere play of the mind.

Two dreams that are specifically mentioned in the Swapna Shastra that demands attention are – Snake biting the person who is having dream and the second one is the person biting or eating a snake. Another important  factor that is mentioned is a person receiving wealth if he sees snake standing with its hood open.

A dream of a snake biting a person is interpreted as resulting in positive health like curing of an ailment or an important disease.

The person biting a snake in the dream has the meaning that the person will be blessed with material wealth or children.

There are also scholars who are of the opinion that Snakes chasing in a dream is the result of an underlying fear.

To alleviate the fear associated with any dream one can chant Vishnu Sahasranama, Gajendra Moksha, Gayatri Mantra or Om Namah Shivaya.

I had a dream last night where in I bring multiple green snakes in my house as pets. They are all over the place and I seem happy. They also eat up all the lizards in the house. After some time, they all are gone and I am looking for them. Thats where the dream ends. What does this dream mean?

This is in reference to comments by Mr. Ashish the dream seen by Anonymous.

In short it is explained that the man may experience some kind of trouble (may be social, personal etc) which ultimately go away removing other problem too. Or he may take some kind of risk to solve certain problems and he will succeed. The dream seen is not harmfull.

The first reaction of the dreamer immediately after dream is considerable. Dreams show and say many things.

I had a dream that someone rubbed snake eggs (which looked more like fish eggs) into my carpet then instantly small snakes started emerging from the floor which started to grow. we tried to get rid of them but they kept coming. some were different types but the biggest was a snake with a heart shaped head that was orange and brown. Then in my dream I pick up a smaller green snake and cut it in to 3 pieces (head, body and tail) with a knife and fork. any idea what this may mean?

I started to pray him by DEEP BATTI but in the main time suddenly he ate that DEEP BATTI with burning fair in his big mouth. I just weak up after eating that DEEP BATTI. Please let me know the massage of this dream. Thanks

Hi, I am really happy I stumbled upon this blog. Please help me out with this dream. I had it around 7.00 AM today morning. After this, I woke up. I am presently in US. My dream happens in my home town specifically my old house and my new house. I see a snake which comes to my house and becomes a pet to me. It follows me around everywhere. It is long and brown in color and it does not harm anyone. I keep on feding the snake and I ask my dad to buy stuff for it. Me,mom,dad travel in an auto(i can auto driver too) between the 2 houses and feed the snake. I saw the face,tail as well as the whole body. At present, my grand parents are living in the old house and my parents and sis are living in new house. Please kindly let me know the meaning of this dream.

I am not hindu but as a child I had a dream of a 3 headed snake in a room. It was big but not scary. The color was pink, however, the hoods were opened and human faces were on the front of the hoods. The best I can put it is the faces were pure white with black eyes and really red lips. Not saying they were, but almost the equivalent of the description of a geisha girl of japan. I can not remember if all did this, but I do remember at least one of the faces kept moving its mouth as if talking. It was not horrifying or spooky, as it did not look to be angry, tempting, happy. Just kind of emotionless, like it was just wanting to say something. But I do recall even in my dream I didnt hear one word. I was around 3rd grade I believe when I had this dream. 2 years later we were introduced to world religions, with hinduism being one. The dream felt like hindu type symbolism, yet I was not exposed to hinduism at the time. I am now 41 years old but still remember the dream pretty clearly along with another before being exposed to hinduism of an elephant mask I put on dressed like Ganesha but that is respectfully another topic as this topic is about snakes in dreams. I never could find any reference to a 3 headed snake with faces on the hoods, but I had a friend over the years who I confided in tell me it sounded like a demon or guardian in hinduism, but I will be first to say this source was not what I would consider a good and credible source. It would be nice to confirm if this dream was, or even was not of hindu origin as I have always thought of this experience and like some kind of closure one way or another. Thanks for any help on this matter and hope everyone has a great and wonderful 2011

Twice I had dream of snakes in my house. Once I saw a black snake entering in my house and after few months there were two colorful snakes entered in my house from window.

I searched a lot for the same but couldnt find a proper answer. Some weeks ago, I went to show my "Patrika" (Kundali) to one of the astrologer and he said I have "Rahu Dasha" which will get over soon. It was started years back however you might have got some indication that it was getting worse. When I asked how? He said- observing day to day difficult situations.

Yesterday, I read on the net that "Rahu graha" indicates snakes. When you see snakes entering in your house or over you that may be a sign of Rahu dasha in your Kundali. See, I got my answer.

I got a dream where the snake with its hood applied kumkum and haldi on my forehead and i guess the snake is a cobra in another instance i got a dream where the snakes are being killed by a god by throwing the snakes into a yagna's fire.

hello, I had a dream this morning about Snakes. When I got up it was about 7 am or 7:30 am.
I was going at a very high speed(driving or running) with my friend on a brown soil path. Next o us on the other side of the road(left), there were snakes going very swiftly. We were faster than the snakes so saw a lot of them. Then we noticed one black snake with bright green spots & a black snake with orange spots. We were admiring them suddenly, one of them bit my friend on his arm 2 or 3 times & left. I got scared & got up!
Please temme the meaning & any way to enhance the good effects.(I went with the same friend to temple in the evening today i.e. Monday). He particularly always worships Lord Shiva on Monday..

i had a dream last light. in that dream i abd my parents were in our old house,(which we have rented now ) i went upstairs in my jouse and i saw a white snake with brown stripes. the snake was really very big. i had a phone in my hand and i was quite afraid my hands were trembling in fear. i tried to take a video of the snake but when i started, it just disappeared. i immediately went downstairs to tell my parents and the snake was there, it was looking at me, i was horrified and it was looking at me i tried to hide from it using a nearby wall. The snake suddenly came near me, i woke up in horror to see that it was 6.30 am and i was in my college hostel.
could someone interpret this dream for me ? i was really horrified in the dream.

I sas a snake taking form of a human girl and befriending me. Then a glimpse of seeing a decapitated male snake. The mate of the female snake that had assumed human form. It was strange as i see myself in fear but the female snake is calm however could sense growing anger, remorse and saddness within. Then i see my ex whom i still love very deeply and cant stop thinking off and myself driving and hiding as if someone or something is chasing us. I feel very intimate abt my ex but then there is fear as wel. I wake up almost abrubtly as i have visualized his deeam. I kept heading his name being called out or rather being repeated in my bead. Later when i am conscious i see just images of him and cant stop shaking this dream or him. Please help interpreting this.

i dreamt that i was seeking some kind of a treasure, which was locked in a box, guarded by a snake. As i reached for the treasure, the snake started chasing me to bite me. Then i chanted Lord Shiva's name and the snake turned into a shivalingam. After that, the shivalingam again turned into that snake and it went away without biting me. What does this dream mean?

Please pay attention here ----------------

Snakes are associated with Planet Rahu.. even planet rahu is considered to be in a snake form . so what i want to tell everyone,, Rahu is the only planet which brings sudden luck, gain, wealth or sudden miseries as well. so if you hurt snakes in dream then there are more chances of you getting hurt ed. meanwhile seeing snakes without doing any harm brings some sort of goodness in future time.. if you feel sexually hyperactive then there more chances to see snakes in daily routine dreams. OM NAMAH SHIVAYE

To day I saw a snake dream early in the morning around 2 am.
Two snakes enteres into my bed romm through the wall, later they appeared as to ladies, one with full of golden aurnaments. One of the lady lied next to me in the dream both were laughing at me and teasing me. they stayed the entire night in the other bed room of my house and while leaving in the morning they asked my wife to drop them for.

Is it a good sign or bad.
