What Snakes Symbolize in Hindu Dreams
In Hindu tradition, the snake (Nag) holds deep spiritual significance. Snakes are associated with Lord Shiva (as Vasuki around his neck), Kundalini energy at the base of the spine, and the Nag Devatas (serpent deities). Dreams of snakes can carry powerful messages about spiritual awakening, hidden enemies, or karmic influences like Kaal Sarp Dosha.
