Hidden fear or a concealed enemy — but also kundalini and sudden money. A snake that does not bite is a windfall approaching; one that bites warns of betrayal by someone close.

Dream Meanings
What the traditional dream dictionaries read into a symbol. Search in English or Hindi.
Emotional clarity and purification. Clean flowing water is one of the most auspicious dreams — expect relief from a long-standing worry.
Confusion and contaminated influences. Someone's advice is not clean. Postpone financial decisions for a fortnight.
Transformation and purification. Controlled fire means success and rising status; a fire out of control warns of anger destroying your own work.
Paradoxically one of the best dreams — long life and the end of a difficult phase. An identity is dissolving, not a body.
Usually longevity for that person and a change in your relationship with them. Rarely literal.
Ambition released and obstacles cleared. Rising above a situation that was holding you. Travel is often literal here.
Loss of control and anxiety about status. Check your finances and your footing at work.
Worry about family elders and about your own speech. Traditionally a caution about a health issue in the family.
In dream logic a wedding often signals its opposite — a separation, or news of an illness. Attend to a relationship you have neglected.
A binding commitment approaching in waking life, not necessarily marital. A contract you cannot easily leave.
A new project, responsibility or beginning. Also a genuine indication of pregnancy news in the family.
Prosperity, motherly blessing and dharma. A white cow is exceptionally auspicious; a thin cow warns of shortage.
Royal favour, gains through authority, and the removal of obstacles. Ganesha's own vehicle — a very strong omen.
Speed, travel and the arrival of news. A white horse promises victory; a black one, a journey with difficulty.
Loyalty tested. A friendly dog is a true friend; a barking or biting dog is someone posing as one.
Deception and feminine cunning in the environment. Guard confidential information.
Confrontation with power. If you escape or tame it, you will overcome a formidable opponent.
Restless mind and mischief around you. Someone is playing games with your time.
Messages and freedom. News is on its way, generally welcome.
Beauty, recognition and artistic success. Rain and relief follow this dream traditionally.
Ancestral message. Perform tarpan. Often a reminder of an unfulfilled family obligation.
Lakshmi's vehicle — unexpected wealth, though it may arrive through an unusual channel.
Fertility, wealth and good fortune. Catching a fish means a gain you have worked for.
Spiritual protection and the resolution of a moral dilemma. Your intention is being supported.
Direct grace. Whatever you were praying for moves forward. Note which deity appeared.
Guidance arriving. A decision you have been avoiding will be made for you by circumstance, favourably.
The end of a phase, and money from an unexpected source. Not an ill omen despite the imagery.
Vitality drained or family conflict. Your own blood means loss of energy; another's, a quarrel among relatives.
Curiously, dreaming of gold often precedes expenditure rather than gain. Guard against a costly purchase.
Emotional gain and the Moon's blessing. Comfort and support from a woman.
A real opportunity approaching, though smaller than the dream suggests. Act on it quickly.
Anxiety about security. Review subscriptions, debts and anything on auto-renewal.
A change of circumstances and improved status. Property matters move.
Family structure under strain. Address the argument you have been avoiding.
Ambition and steady progress. Reaching the summit means the goal is achievable this year.
Successfully passing through a transition. If you cross, the difficulty ends.
The vastness of the unconscious. Calm sea means peace of mind; a stormy one, emotional overwhelm.
Blessing, relief and fertility. Gentle rain is prosperity; a destructive storm is a warning.
Authority, health and the father. A rising sun promises recognition; an eclipse warns of a setback in status.
Mind and mother. A full moon is emotional fulfilment; a waning one, a period of low energy.
Hope and long-range direction. Guidance is available if you look up from the immediate problem.
A temporary obscuring of fortune. Avoid launching anything new for a few weeks.
An avoided responsibility or fear. Whatever is chasing you will keep returning until you turn around.
Fear of exposure and vulnerability about competence. Usually your reputation is safer than you feel.
Performance anxiety and self-judgement. A real evaluation is approaching at work.
Genuine uncertainty about direction. This dream asks for a decision, not more information.
Change of place or of life stage. Note the destination — it often names the area of change.
Your control over life's direction. A smooth ride means agency; brake failure means a situation running away from you.
Self-image fractured, or an important relationship cracking. Seven months of adjustment, traditionally.
Loss of strength or status, often voluntary. A sacrifice you are about to make.
Purity and peace. A dispute settles.
Passion, marriage and energy. Auspicious for a woman; a caution about temper for a man.
Sorrow or concealment. Someone is hiding their real position from you.
Nourishment and satisfaction. Sweet food is celebration approaching; bitter food, an unwelcome truth.
Celebration and good news, often a wedding or a birth in the family.
The result of past effort arriving. Harvest time in some area of life.
Growth, family lineage and long life. Sitting under one means protection from a senior.
A line of effort that has stopped yielding. Time to replant elsewhere.
Spiritual unfolding and purity amid difficulty. One of the finest omens in the tradition.
Contrary to fear, often signals a sudden gain or a decisive break from a draining situation.
