Snakes running away from you could be considered as an image that symbolizes the harmful or disturbing thoughts, attitudes, impulses, or feelings that you are finally rejecting or discarding. Perhaps, you have begun to overcome personal fears and vices, or you have just left toxic social environments or distanced yourself from mean-spirited individuals.
Remember, your dreaming mind -the generator or “movie director” of your dreams- has the ability to create visual representations (the snake, for example) for the things from your inner world that, obviously, do not have a material or tangible form in real world.
