The traditional Korean reading

In Korean dream reading (haemong), a snake is traditionally a strong symbol of wealth, wisdom and new life, and it is one of the classic conception dreams (taemong). A large snake entering the house or coiling around you is traditionally said to bring money or a gifted child. Only a dream where you flee a snake in pure fear is read as a warning about conflict with someone close.
