Dreaming of an Adder
adder · mostly negative, with one happy exception
An adder in a dream warns of a false friend, though one tradition reads it as wealth.
What happens in the dream
- An adder or asp: money and a wealthy marriage, the one happy sign
- It flees from you: you will be able to defend your good name
- An adder strikes: friends' bad luck distresses you, and a loss threatens
- You see an adder: a deceitful person will cause you trouble
- Someone you think a friend will harm you
How you felt
- Mistrust: the dream often reflects doubts about people around you
- Fear: it may express a quiet threat you sense coming
