What does it mean to dream of a snake?
A snake is one of the strongest symbols in the tchala. It is most often read as a warning about a hidden enemy, gossip or a betrayal being prepared close to you. Because the snake also sheds its skin, many readers see a second side to it: healing, protection and a deep change that is about to happen.

Tchala numbers for a snake
The traditional tchala links a snake to 39, 21 and 72. In Haitian borlette, these two-digit numbers can be played alone (bolet) or paired as a maryaj (marriage): 39×21, 39×72, 21×72. The tchala is a cultural tradition: the numbers differ from one family or tchala book to another, and no dream can predict a draw.
