Rattlesnake Dream Meaning

There are many dream meanings online about snakes, but particularly dreaming of the rattlesnake holds a different meaning. Rattlesnakes do not have ears like normal snakes and instead, they look at vibrations on the ground. This is why it is important to understand that the dream of a rattlesnake is giving you a different meaning and vibration.

The rattlesnake has a triangle-shaped head and nostrils known as a pit. There are around 24 different types of rattlesnakes and they all rattle, which is found at the top of the tail. They rattle when aggressors are near and this distracts them so they can escape. The noise of the rattlesnake comes from the bone and doughnut shape on the tail. Why am I mentioning this? It is important to think about what has "rattled you recently." What event made you question things in life. 

Rattlesnakes have touched us all throughout history, there are so many cultural and religious stories about rattlesnakes. The rattlesnake in your dream is a sign of renewal and life-long happiness but above all deception. There are over 3,700 living snakes known to scientists and a rattlesnake is just one of them. 

Rattlesnakes are a certain type of pit viper and are found across parts of America. The reason they are unique is that they rattle their tails and there is a ring that attaches to the rattle. What does this mean in your dream? I'm going to share a short story for you so you can put this dream into context and understand the meaning deeper. You may recall this fable of the rattlesnake and the scorpion. 

The scorpion arrived near a river he needed to cross and since he couldn't swim he asked the rattlesnake if he would take him across the river. The rattlesnake replied that you are likely to just sting me. “Why would I,” said the scorpion, “I simply can't swim.” Halfway across the river, the scorpion did indeed sting the rattlesnake. The rattlesnake had realized it had been fatally stung. As the rattlesnake began to sink underneath the water the scorpion was also going to face certain death. The rattlesnake asked why did you bother stinging me. It's not good for either of us. The scorpion replied, “well is just my nature.” The conversation between the rattlesnake and the scorpion is a true illustration of the way that we perceive deception in waking life. 

We must look at the way that the scorpion was persuasive and he did in fact manage to deceive the rattlesnake. Why did the rattlesnake believe him when the rattlesnake could quite easily kill the scorpion any time? This is the theme of the dream. The Scorpion by its very nature is deceptive and the dream meaning is that there is a choice of being deceptive. The dream meaning of a rattlesnake suggests that there may be a temptation in your life. There was a choice that could have been made in the scenario that I just mentioned. The scorpion could have crossed the river and survived, but instead, he deceived the rattlesnake. 

The rattlesnake could have killed the scorpion any time but chose not to. Obviously, the opportunity for deception was greater than survival. To dream of being attacked by a rattlesnake is driven by our internal conflicts. Before analyzing rattlesnake dreams, it is important that we have a clear summary of the general meaning of this dream and what it means to you. The rattlesnake is a carnivorous reptile, legless, and elongated, and of the suborder of Serpent. It is an amniote, ectothermic, a vertebrate that is covered in a range of overlapping scales.
 
Rattlesnakes are not always very mean and aggressive. The truth is that they are at times interesting with most of them being passive most of the time. Rattlesnakes eat meat and plenty of it.  Rattlesnakes are covered with scales, are soft, and smooth to touch. Its scales lie flat against its body.
 
Rattlesnakes mostly rely on their ability to sense vibration and heat. Their ability to sense and hear is very sharp even though they don’t have external ears. Their eyesight is not strong and they can only see enough to track their movement. The tongue is their main sensory organ and that is what they use to find their way around the world. 
 
Rattlesnakes are an omen of deception in relationships or a toxic person in your life

I’m going to cover this because it is important. Seeing a rattlesnake in a dream can be associated with deception in relationships. When it comes to mating, depending on the species, they do it in different ways. The most common one is where the male and female find each other. If they live in colder areas, mating can only happen during spring and early summer, but for those that live in tropical areas, mating happens any time of the year.  The determining factor of whether the rattlesnakes will mate or is not the availability of food and warm temperature.

What does it mean when you dream about rattlesnakes?

Dreams about rattlesnakes can be traumatizing - especially if you are worried in the dream. When “trauma” dreams happen, you will feel like you are having a complete nightmare. A rattlesnake appearing in your dream could be an indicator that, you are close to someone who is not worth trusting. In the dreams, rattlesnakes appear in the grass, and it can be a metaphor for someone who has been hiding something from you or whose intentions are not honorable.
 
It could be that someone has deceived or betrayed you in some way or is being disloyal. They can also be a representation of your fears and thus, if you have regular dreams about rattlesnakes, it could be a sign that something has happened that is troubling you and thus, it represents the thing that is making you be worried.
 
Rattlesnakes in your dream could come in different scenarios like you can have a dream where you see a wild or pet rattlesnake, rattlesnake chasing you and making you run because you are afraid. In some dreams, you might see the rattlesnake and not feel afraid at all. You could also dream that you are talking to a rattlesnake or a rattlesnake is attacking you.

The Rattlesnake Symbolism in Ancient Traditions

Rattlesnakes have been known to be popular in cultural and traditional cultures all over the world for many centuries with each culture having a different symbolism. According to the Aztecs, life is created by a rattlesnake. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the rattlesnake symbolizes temptation and evil. In Greek mythology, a rattlesnake denotes repressed sexual energy and also a symbol of healing. In the Hindu tradition, the rattlesnakes symbolize life power and force whereby, it is thought the rattlesnake controls dark forces and temptations.

Rattlesnake Dream

When rattlesnakes appear in our dreams, it brings to the fore some feelings in us which in most cases are negative, as I have said before it is about how you can understand what has rattled you in life. If you observe a rattlesnake in your dream, you are likely going to become fearful, thus representing the fears which you have in your waking life.
 
Another meaning of a rattlesnake when it appears in your dream could be that it is bringing the desires and thoughts from your subconscious mind - it is a message to understand the emotions that lie deep inside you. It could also be a representation of your instincts and intuition. Your soul’s force surfaces when rattlesnakes appear in your dream. It could indicate that you may face a situation in waking life - a difficult time and this is causing a lot of unrest in your life.
 
Dreams about rattlesnakes can also be symbolic of you not caring about a task - which should be important.  On a more positive note, a rattlesnake presented in your dream could mean that there is a process of transformation and you are resolving problems that have been bothering you for a very long time.  

Freud says in his writings that, a rattlesnake is a phallic symbol meaning, it is a representation of a male figure which you are finding sexually attractive or threatening, depending on the feelings that the rattlesnake elicits in your dream.

Dream of rattlesnake attacking you

Rattlesnakes attacking you in a dream can feel overwhelming, it can harm your subconscious mind and result in waking up simply terrified. Remember, this is the dream state and it is important to not be afraid. The rattlesnake could be urging you to make sure that you can see any deception coming your way, to essentially be on guard. The deceptions in life can be central to the possibility of how you are functioning with other people, it is easy to deny the complexity of this world and overlook such deceptions. A proneness for feeling distorted and deceived in a relationship is the key message of this dream. I want to expose the terrain of the dream to better understand the tendencies and meaning. If you notice greenery while the rattlesnake attacked you - then this can offer comfort that the dream is associated with deception which is avoidable. If the terrain is familiar (for example you are being attacked by a rattlesnake in your home) then try to look deeper into the actual whereabouts of the rattlesnake in the dream which will yield a clue as to where you can foretell possible deception.

Rattlesnakes attacking can be a scary dream and they often strike for two reasons in the wild. Firstly, they are subdued to prey or secondly they are trying to defend themselves. If you are the object of the defensive attack then the dream is a message that you need to be guarded. If the rattlesnake released venom while attacking you in the dream and (this was not a predatory bite) rather a defensive strike then the dream is a message that you need to be more tolerant of your internal turbulence. 

What is the message of a dream of a rattlesnake attacking? We all have the complexity, or how we change. It is also an omen to understand our own deceptions and consolations. On the other hand, the dream of a rattlesnake attacking can give insight into how we understand “cause” and “effect.” Human nature is configured to make sense of the world and in the reality, we try to make judgments of others. This is our most basic perception. When we are not feeling our perceptions are valid and are somewhat uncertain of what we are seeing, the dream of attack often appears.

A dream where you fight off or you start the attack on a rattlesnake means that you are at war with your emotions in your waking life. You may face this poisonous snake fighting you - and it is a true wake-up call that you want to be on guard. The dream could be signaling that you need to focus on what you need to protect yourself against in waking life. Another interesting meaning is that seeing a rattlesnake attacking you in your dream could suggest that you will need to grab the opportunity presented to you to better your life. We all have opportunities that are presented and sometimes fear stops us from achieving what we really need to do.

Dream of a rattlesnake’s venom or biting you?

The venom of a rattlesnake can be fatal in real life. The bite may result in medical problems. If you are experiencing pain or tingling in the area where the snake bit you in your dream then it can suggest that someone will be deceptive. 

Being bitten by a rattlesnake which results in being poisoned in your dream is a sign that there is someone in your life who is affecting you with their negative influence. People could be influencing you or saying negative things. Often, dream of being bitten by a rattlesnake indicates that you are in a negative relationship at the moment. Think about what you really want from life - this is the message of this dream.

Aspects Of Your Rattlesnake Dream that You Should Take Into Consideration

When you have dreams about rattlesnakes, you will need to take note of the color, size, and type of rattlesnake that was featured. The type of rattlesnake can give you a clue as to the meaning of the dream. A dream where you see a rattlesnake in the grass can denote that, you are going through a situation that is not so dangerous and requires spiritual meditation.  On the other hand, if a rattlesnake is in a town it could mean that you have been charmed by someone, making you behave like you are hypnotized. A rattlesnake as I have already mentioned is poisonous so it could be a warning to not trust others.
 
The rattlesnake color is also very important. When you have a dream where you see a brown rattlesnake, it could mean that whatever you are doing is safe and you can go ahead with it. A multi-colored rattlesnake could mean that others will turn to you for advice. A black rattlesnake is symbolic of negative connotation thus, you are going to be in bad luck and annoyance in the coming days.
 
There are some questions which you need to ask yourself before concluding an interpretation of a dream about a rattlesnake. Ask yourself if you are currently experiencing some changes in your life or if you have something that you are hiding from others. Are you worried about something or someone in your waking life? Once you have the answers, you can go ahead and analyze your dream.

A dream of being crushed or suffocated by a rattlesnake holds particular meaning. It can indicate a lack of breathing and that you may feel unwell during the dream.

We never like to feel trapped in life, and this dream is a direct indication that you are feeling such a way in a given situation. We exaggerate at times, falsify, conceal, dissemble and over-simplify these are all elements that need to be considered if the dream of a rattlesnake holding your body is prevalent.

What does it mean to dream about a wild rattlesnake?

Seeing a rattlesnake in the wild while in your dream is an indication that you need to take note of manifesting your own worries and fears.

At times we all lose control and to see a wild rattlesnake cross your path in the dream is about regaining that control. 

What does it imply to dream about a rattlesnake talking in a dream?

Dreams can be strange things. Animals talking to you in a dream I believe is associated with our internal animal totem powers. Everyone loves attention in life and people should bring a smile on your face. When a rattlesnake talks to you in a dream it could signify that you are looking for stability and reliability in life. This is the psychological meaning of a dream of seeing a talking snake, according to Carl Jung. 

Spiritually speaking, a snake talking in your dream is an indication of experiencing a positive time in the coming days according to my 1930s dream book. Opportunities will present themselves to you and you will utilize them to become successful in your life.

What does it imply to dream about your foot being bitten by a rattlesnake?

Such a dream can imply you need to delegate work to others. Alternatively, the dream could be an indicator that, you are yearning to go on a holiday, away from your normal routine. It means really would like to getaway!

Dreams about large rattlesnakes

Many people have contacted me after dreaming of large rattlesnakes. Rattlesnakes range in size from three to five feet. There have been reports of one rattlesnake being 8 feet long. Therefore, rattlesnakes are rather long. If you dream of a large snake this can mean that you need to question the relationships around you. Everyone has hurtful points in their lives and they channel negativity. Seeing a large rattlesnake is a message to keep in mind that not everyone in life will be compatible with you. Everyone is made of different forms, shapes, personalities, and to look at people's hearts rather than what they own and what they have.

Dreams about a red rattlesnake

The red rattlesnake is known as a red diamond rattlesnake, red rattlesnake, and red diamond snake. They are common in California, USA, and Mexico. Unfortunately, the red rattlesnake is a threatened species, a bite from a red rattlesnake can be fatal. Having such a dream can indicate that there could be a lack of communication in your life. The warning here is to not allow gossip to change your relationships, whether there is an untrue rumor or even anger, try to overcome things using communication. 

Communication in life is used to translate information and be prepared to talk at any time to those close to you. If someone comes to you with an awkward situation make sure you listen. The reason I say this is because the color red in your dream can indicate that it is time to engage with others and open communication channels. 

In my spiritual dream dictionary books dreams about red rattlesnakes could imply that you are going to attend an event. It could be a celebration like a birthday or an anniversary or a party like a graduation ceremony. Alternatively, the dream could be a warning that you have a tendency to always think of others and not yourself.

Dreams about killing a rattlesnake

Killing a rattlesnake in your dream could be a sign that, you are ready to assert yourself to others. This is a positive dream. It can imply that you are trying to sell your ideas to others so that in the process, you will be able to gain their admiration and respect and with it, comes the accomplishment of your plan. Alternatively, the dream could mean that you are gaining or advancing an advantage over your enemies or rivals.

A rattlesnake will never attack you for no reason, most people in real life kill snakes with garden objects and some with guns. If you crush the rattlesnake then this can indicate that you need to trust that you are important and improve your listening skills. If you killed the rattlesnake near your home or property in the dream then this can suggest to other people the need to listen. Listening is the key to success. When you listen to people you give them your utmost respect and attention. The dream itself could be something as simple as somebody wanting to tell you something exciting, important, or something about their day. Listening is all you really need to make any relationship stay positive. 

Another important message of a dream of effectively killing a rattlesnake is that you are trying to run away from deception. The rattlesnake is also the domain of the ego. It could yield a time where you have a heightened awareness of the self, mind, body, and spirit. 

To dream that you unsuccessfully killed the rattlesnake in the dream that you may feel like you are being chained, stuck, or tied to something in waking life. If the dream had a fixation with the rattlesnake dying then there is a possibility of an attack from someone you know. Don't freak out though, try to see the bigger picture.

1930s Dream Meaning Of A Rattlesnake

If you get bitten by a rattlesnake it is a very bad omen that you have a serious fight ahead of you and you need to be prepared to fight for what you want in your life. To just see one is a sign of warning and you need to head it, so that you won’t have to fight. If there is a dead snake then you will know that whatever trial you have in your life that you have already passed it and obviously succeeded. But just because you have passed this trial there could always be more or worse ones, so always keep on the watch.

If all you see is the snake's fangs and venom, that is a bad omen that there is or will be sickness to you or someone close to you. And that it will be hard to get over it. And that you need to be prepared for a fight for your or there life. And if the dream keeps recurring you need to really make sure you and everyone close to you are ok. It is said that dreaming of a rattlesnake means that you are perceptive of your significant other and that there is something wrong. Don’t completely worry just keep on the watch of signs that your significant other is showing. It can be anything wrong, but to make a relationship work there can’t be something wrong with the other and you not knowing, so just sit down and talk it all out. 

If you hear a rattlesnake’s rattler then that means skipping through time, it’s different if you see one or get bitten by one.

To dream of a rattlesnake can mean a few different things. If you hear the rattler and you don’t see the rattlesnake itself, that is a good sign that for something you have done wrong in your past, you will be able to rectify it, or someone will be able to make it up to you.
