Dream dictionary

💭 snake

Transformation, hidden fears or kundalini energy awakening. In swapna shastra, seeing a snake can indicate victory over enemies; a snake bite often signals unexpected gains.

💭 teeth falling out

💭 water

Your emotional state. Clear water = peace and clarity; muddy or stormy water = confusion or suppressed feelings that want attention.
