Archetypal symbol of the life force, strongly associated with psychological growth and healing. Because snakes shed their skin, ancients believed they never died, and held the key to eternal life. In yogic practices the serpent energy (kundalini) lays coiled at the base of the spine, rising through the chakras (subtle energy centers of the body), with growth and spiritual development.
Owing to biblical teachings, snakes also can represent deception, betrayal, and temptation—and people who speak with "a forked tongue." (Liars.) Fears of being bitten by a snake (or snakes), reflect fears of emotional injury or attack in waking life. Snakes may function as phallic symbol due to their shape. Caring for a snake in a dream indicates a positive relationship with creative energy.
