Snakes are animals that often appear in religion, mythology, and fairytales. In these stories they have both sacred and destructive qualities. Snakes also appear as powerful emotions in individual dreams and sandplay cases. These snakes appear when consciousness is quite separated from instinct and provide an individual with a crucial opportunity for development and regression. Therefore, this study amplified various symbols of snakes and examined their meanings.
