Instead, a dream about cobra can be both favorable and unfavorable. It could indicate a new beginning, a change or transformation, which signifies good luck.
It's like something has zipped you down, impeding your movement and your ability to do anything. It could be that something suppressing you is hidden inside your inner feeling.
You are locked in a circle of your thoughts, mainly negative.
Meanwhile, it could mean that someone dominant over you controls you, even your life decision. They made you believe that you couldn't handle your life well, so you need their guidance and support.

If you plan to reach your goals, then it's necessary to have that strong determination whatever you do. Physical strength is also an essential quality required to achieve your life-long goals.

You can prevent it by being cautious of the people around you. This dream also means that you have to make decisions in your life quickly because you cannot spend all your time analyzing the pros and cons of the issue.
To avoid ending up with wrong decisions, you may set a deadline when making a decision. Also, get rid of all the possible bad options so that you can choose easily.
However, it would be best if you were prepared for the possibility of failure.
This dream could also represent a warning sign. It suggests that someone around you acts like a snake, so you need to maintain your distance from this person.
It could be your friend, relative, coworker, or anyone close to you. Your intuition or your inner psyche can help you identify this person.
There are other dreams related to cobras that you should also note. For instance, seeing a cobra bite you in a dream means that someone close to you will disappoint you, like gossiping about you.
This person spread nasty rumors about you, making you feel unhappy and embarrassed. Do not fret because you're a strong person and can handle the situation well.

Give yourself a chance to show your creativity.
Playing with a cobra in your dream means that you will find your way out of the most challenging situations. As long as you remain calm and use your wise reasoning, you can think of a solution.
Whatever your problems are, try to analyze and explore all the possible solutions to your problems. Keep calm and clear your mind when making a decision so that you can make the correct answer to your questions.
Seeing several cobras in your dream might seem terrifying and creepy. However, it does not denote negative meaning.
Many cobras in dreams symbolize promotion at work or becoming a leader. You'll feel happy because you can have the chance to showcase your experience and skill.
For example, your boss will give you a major project, where you have the opportunity to show your skills and abilities to manage people.
What does the cobra symbolize in Egypt?
The cobra holds a significant symbol in ancient Egypt. A rearing cobra with hood-flared ready to strike was sculpted as an image called a Uraeus that signifies protection.
One myth believes that the sacred eye of God's creator had been devoured by the sun and turned itself into a deadly cobra. And to soothe the eyes, God placed it on his, transforming the striking cobra into a sign of protection.
Another significance of the cobra in Egypt is the Egyptian Banded Cobra.
It can reach 8 feet long and raise its head and flared hood 2 feet in the air. The hood can spread 5 inches across.
This snake has a potent neurotoxin that can cause respiratory failure within 10 minutes if left untreated.
The Smithsonian National Zoo theorized that Cleopatra's asp was a cobra, a valuable weapon for a quick attack. The snake's symbol, or the Uraeus, represented a formidable goddess who guided both worlds – life and death.
Because of the snake's symbolic significance in Egypt, they mummified cobras and put them in Egyptian tombs.
In art, the cobra with a raised head is found everywhere in Egyptian tombs. You can see it on carved furniture, sometimes forming legs, arms, and backs of chairs.
Glasses or vessels used by royalty and upper-class people are shaped like cobras. It is also used as armbands or as an ornament on the circlet or crown of the reigning Pharaoh.
They may also be used as a substitute for Hathor or Sekhmet, known as the messengers and avengers of the Sun god Ra. Ancient Egyptians believed that Ra gave Uraeus (symbol of might and protection) to his descendants, who would become the successive Pharaohs.
Moreover, cobra is considered to be the expression of the Goddess Wadjet. Wadjet illustrates Lower Egypt that wears a red crown. She is responsible for the protection of the King or Pharaoh.
Although real Egyptians cobras do not spit venom, Wadjet spits venom at anyone threatening the Pharaoh or royal tomb.
Wadjet is like a mother figure to kings; their royal status was a direct gift from her. Meanwhile, Nekhbet is a vulture goddess that wears a white crown and represents Upper Egypt.
