Snake
Snakes are among the most powerful and universal dream symbols. In Freudian psychology, they represent repressed sexual energy or phallic symbolism. In Jungian analysis, they symbolize transformation and the process of shedding old patterns — much like a snake sheds its skin. Culturally, snakes can represent wisdom (the caduceus), evil (Biblical serpent), or renewal (Ouroboros). The context of the dream is crucial: a threatening snake may indicate a hidden danger or betrayal, while a calm snake could represent healing and transformation.
Wedding
Wedding dreams represent the union of different aspects of yourself, major commitments, or transitional life phases. They don't necessarily predict actual weddings. Dreaming of your own wedding may reflect anxiety or excitement about commitment. A disastrous wedding might indicate fear of commitment or feeling unprepared for a major life change.
