As a theologian, I am interested in how different people interpret dreams. Last year, I was particularly interested in understanding different interpretations of green snake dreams.
My friend was about to get a promotion at work, and he kept dreaming about green snakes. He was concerned and asked his mother, who told us that there was someone who would betray him, and he helped him pray against it.
She gave us many meanings, and I had to research more. I read the Bible and consulted other Theologians and different dream interpreters until I was satisfied.
Last week, we were discussing dreams in our online forum, and a woman wanted an interpretation about dreaming of a green snake standing.
It started a heated discussion, and many had different scenarios. Questions were directed to me as a Theologian, and I answered them easily because I had researched thoroughly.
So, let’s get into the Biblical meaning of green snakes in dreams.
Although the Bible does not directly give meanings to dreams about green snakes, different Christians suggest that most dreams mean betrayal, evil, and deceit. Many explain the meaning using the instance of Eve and the serpent, which tricked her into eating the fruit. Also, others suggest that it does not always mean evil; it also means rebirth and renewal, among other positive meanings.
So, join me in this article as I write about what the Bible says about green snakes. I will also write about their symbolism in dreams and interpret different dram scenarios about snakes.
