Snake
Serpent, Viper
A snake in a dream isn't automatically bad news. It sheds its old skin, so people have long connected it with change, renewal and things that aren't out in the open yet. A calm snake keeping its distance is a sign you're quietly growing into something new. A restless or hissing one asks you to take a closer look at what's going on around you, and maybe at someone who isn't being completely honest.
