Since Genesis 3, the serpent has been associated with deception and the enemy of souls. In dreams, it almost always represents an attack or an influence that needs to be broken.
The Serpent as a Symbol
Revelation 12:9: “the ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan.” The symbolism is consistent.
What to Do Upon Waking?
Do not panic—Luke 10:19 gives you authority.
Pray immediately with authority, out loud.
Examine the doors: have you listened to a recent lie? made a compromise?
If recurrent: seek deliverance prayer with someone you trust.
The Prayer of Crushing
“In the name of Jesus, I crush the head of the serpent that appears in my nights. I claim Romans 16:20: 'The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.' Amen.”
