Snake

It depends how it appeared

The same symbol is read differently depending on what happened in the dream.

You caught it, or held it in your hand

The reading gets stronger the more firmly it was held. Holding is taken as the fortune being yours rather than passing by.

It was a big one — a gureongi

The most valued form. A gureongi was spoken of as a guardian of the house, and as a taemong it is read as a child of unusual standing.

It wrapped around you

Not read as an attack. Being wrapped is taken as a bond that will not easily let go — of money, or of a person.

It bit you

Read well, which surprises people. The bite is taken as the fortune fixing onto you; older readings watched where it bit.

It was white

White is the rarest colour in this dream and was read as the highest form of it — a matter of standing rather than only money.

There were many of them

Read as increase arriving in more than one place rather than as a single windfall. If you counted them, the old reading counted with you; if there were too many to count, it was read as the larger sign.

It got away, or you were afraid of it

The version read as a loss. Older readings took fear here as a rival or a worry that has not been faced yet.

You killed it

Split. Some read it as an obstacle removed, others as fortune sent away — which of the two depended on how it felt in the dream.

You dreamt it while expecting a child

One of the best-known conception dreams. A gureongi or a large snake was read as a son more often than not, though families differ.
