Meaning Of Dreaming About Snakes In Your House

Maybe you recently saw a dream of seeing snake in your house but couldn't understand it. Here is what it means to dream about snakes in your house.
One of the unexpected dreams one may see is a dream about snakes. Most of those who see snakes in their dreams often report being scared at the sight of them. 

But there are also another group of dreamers who don't get scared seeing snakes in their dreams. For example, I've had people message me and say they saw snakes on their bed in a dream; the snake didn't look like a threat to them, so they were not scared. 

I understand that some of you keep snakes as pets in the physical world, and that is okay. So long it's not a venomous snake or a constrictor, I'm sure it wouldn't harm you. 

Meaning Of Dreaming About Snakes In Your House

But when it comes to the spiritual side of life (like in a dream), snakes aren't harmless. Even if the snake in your dream appeared friendly and didn't attempt to attack you, that doesn't mean it's an innocent creature you saw in your dream. 

The Bible says a lot about snakes, and if you check closely, those things don't speak well about them. 

Luke 10:19 ESV
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

We see what Jesus Christ said about snakes in the passage above. By that saying, He meant that He has given us power to tread upon all evil. Then He goes on to affirm that statement with the words: "and over all power or the enemy". Literally, Jesus Christ attributed serpents to the enemy, the devil. 

That said, snakes are not "evil" themselves, but what they stand for in the spirit realm is evil. 

In the spiritual realm, snakes represent evil spirits and deities. They are not innocent animals. This is just a "heads-up", so that you know how to understand a dream of snake when next you see one. 

Dreams of snakes tend to be very common, especially in these last days. That is because the enemy is desperate in his attempt to hinder the end time harvest and take more souls to hell. The kingdom of darkness is intensifying their attacks against the Church in the last hour. 

Now you know that, if you dream about snakes in your house, you have uninvited guests. There are evil spirits in your home which you need to send packing. 

What Does Snakes Mean In A Dream Spiritually


We've seen the symbols of snakes used in different cultures, traditions and religions of the world. Most of them outrightly admit that the symbol represents the deity they worship. I don't think that needs a deeper explanation, pertaining to what they stand for. 

Snakes in dreams often symbolize evil and agents of darkness. 

  • A witch or warlock may be revealed as a snake in the dream
  • A satan worshipper may take the form of a snake in the dream 
  • Demons and evil deities (fallen angels) sometimes take the form of snakes in dreams 
  • Satan himself may take the form of snake in a dream. 

So if you happen to dream of snakes in your home, it is often symbolic of demonic presence. For one reason or another, there are demons in that home. It could be they were sent on a mission against the dreamer, or that the dreamer ignorantly opened the door for them—by dabbling into the works of darkness. 

Sometimes, it is people that invite demons into their lives by living a sinful and perverse life. The devil is desperate and will seize any opportunity he's given. 

Genesis 3:15 
And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.

As seen in the above scripture, spiritually, snakes are the enemies of man. You don't invite nor entertain them.

So next time you find snakes in your home in the dream, you need to attack them to leave, right there in that dream! Don't even wait to wake up and pray.

Snakes are very sinister and crafty in their operations. Even if the snakes in your dreams were playing with you, they were indirectly seeking deeper access. The demons are working their way into attempting to possess you and permanently establish their presence in your home. Don't let that happen. Send them packing! 

What Is The Biblical Meaning Of Snakes In A Dream?


The Bible repeatedly speaks about the enemy and ungodly people as "snakes, serpents, and vipers". An example is what the Lord Jesus Christ said in Matthew 23:33.

Matthew 23:33
You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?

Evil people and all agents of darkness are attributed to snakes. Some dreams of seeing snakes all around you, may simply mean that the dreamer is surrounded by evil people who don't like them. They could come as friends, colleagues or even neighbours. 

You should ask God to expose this kind of people to you, so that you will be careful in your dealings with them. 

Lots Of Snakes In Dreams Meaning


Lots of snakes in your dream simply means many enemies. You have many people around you who laugh with you in the open but hate and attack you in secret. It could also mean strong demonic presence. 

In both cases, the dreamer should pray to be protected from all these evil around them. 

Seeing Snake In Dream Is Good Or Bad


As you have read in this article, seeing snake in a dream is a bad omen. There is nothing good or godly about snakes in the dream.
