Adder dream meaning is explained below using 7 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Gustavus Hindman Miller

To dream of seeing an adder strike, and a friend, who is dead but seems to be lying down and breathing, rises partly to a sitting position when the adder strikes at him, and then both disappearing into some bushes nearby, denotes that you will be greatly distressed over the ill luck of friends, and a loss threatened to yourself.

For a young woman to see an adder, foretells a deceitful person is going to cause her trouble.

If it runs from her, she will be able to defend her character in attacks made on her.

2- Because any snake Is taken to represent matters to do with sex (while more properly being more to do with male sexuality), there are unresolved issues to do with sexuality or fear of sexual activity.

3- Where there is an act of depravity or deceit there is evil.
