If you dream that you fought snakes in dream, it means you are dealing with negative or harmful emotions. Indeed, battling against a reptil could be our dreaming mind’s way to graphically represent our intense emotional struggle.
That’s why dreaming of battling snakes means you are struggling with an aspect of you, perhaps some perturbing ideas, thoughts or feelings within you.

The snake may be representing your feelings, attitudes or emotions in regards to a specific person in real life: your ex-husband, ex-boyfriend, coworkers or family members.
It is possible you dealing with latent personal or family conflicts in waking life, and your dream is just showing them by the use of dreaming imagery such as snakes or another wild animals, employing a basic narrative structure that is quite common in these type of dream experiences: an encounter with the reptil, a fight and finally, the kill.

That’s right, you might have a hard time forgiving someone or forgiving yourself for something that hurt you a lot.

During my experience helping out people to make sense of their dreams I have found that mostly women who have (or had gone through) bad and toxic relationships usually dream of fighting an aggressive snake.
Here is an example:
A woman dreamt with a snake wrapped about her body, she tried to pull it way from her, she fight with the snake until she was able to reach a knife and cut the snake’s head.
In real life she was getting divorced from her cheating husband who did not want to leave her house. He kept calling her cellphone everyday begging to come back. The snake embodied the image of the husband.
The act of cutting the snake’s head meant that she really wanted to live alone away from him.
Other meanings
In some limited cases, this dream might be showing your emotional battle with a serious illness, disease or medical treatment.
What does it mean to dream of a snake wrapped around you?
Dreaming of a snake wrapped around you reveals a demanding relationship. Indeed, having a snake wrapped around you could be considered as a dreamlike symbol for a romantic relationship that absorbs you completely, or for an overwhelming responsibility that is taking all your time and attention.
You may be linked to various personal commitments that are not easy to break.
I share this dream that helps us to understand this idea:
A young woman dreamed of a red and black snake wrapping around her leg, did not attack her and appeared to be friendly; however, the dreamer tried to remove the reptile, but it resisted.
In real life, she had broken up with her boyfriend, but he kept trying to get her back. They lived in the same neighborhood, and it was quite difficult for her to avoid seeing him.
