It means that you are accepting a disturbing idea or feeling.
The first interpretation is quite positive. According to this reading, in real life you are feeding with meaningful experiences, that is, you would be getting the best out of those situations that were once negative or threatening (represented in the reptile that you ingest), but that prompted you to do your best in order to overcome them, opening up the opportunity for you to develop new skills and abilities that would not have happened otherwise.
That’s right, this dream indicates that you have managed to learn from hostile and unpleasant experiences, or from terrible personal mistakes. Pay attention to this interpretation if you feel satisfied or relieved in the dream as soon as you eat the reptile.
What does it mean to dream of eating a snake?
However, dreaming that you eat snakes, vipers or boas has a negative interpretation, as it would project your concern for the substances you normally drink or ingest in your real life; according to this explanation, the snake symbolizes an unhealthy diet.
On a more psychological level, this dream will reveal that you are feeding your mind and heart with harmful emotions or attitudes, as well as negative thoughts or intentions.
The image of the snake would symbolize all that damaging influence you’d be allowing in your mind.
Eating a snake could be the way your dreaming mind is trying to draw your attention to toxic characteristics, behaviors or attitudes that you may be assimilating. For example, it is possible that you have been spending a lot of time on social media or any other time-wasting activity.
Eating an entire snake reveals that you’re completely adopting an idea, a belief, an attitude, a way of looking at things; but at the same time you fear that this awakening will bring you disturbing consequences.
Let me ask you:
Are you becoming aware that you have been gullible or naive when it comes to accept something or somebody as a positive and meaningful element for your life?
