He attributes women’s fear of snakes to historical experiences of snakebites .
He interprets living snakes as dreams of money, but cooked snakes suggest potential losses due to mistakes or legal issues .
He warns that the small snake trying to bite her signifies that “shallow wisdom” or lack of knowledge could lead to harm, advising her to seek advice from wise people .
