Holding a rattlesnake means you are currently grasping a source of open malice that lives within your circle. This dream shows how you have taken a sharp hostility into your own hands, and such a way of behaving brings a heavy burden to the way you walk among your kin. When one holds what is meant to strike, the peace of the household is never truly settled.
The way you carry this malice affects everyone who sits at your table, for the danger you grip is not a thing you hold alone. To keep such a thing close is to live in a state where the hand is always tense and the heart is never at rest. This dream is a sign that the animosity you possess is a weight that threatens to turn your own touch into a wound. It is a hard thing to carry, child, to hold a strike in your palm while trying to tend to your own. May your hands find only what is soft and what is kind.
Catching a rattlesnake changes the verdict of the dream by showing that you have actively sought out this conflict. Because you went to find the threat rather than simply encountering it, the dream reveals a move toward a confrontation that was previously hidden.

Efua NyansaInterpreter interprets your dreams
Sit down first, child. The dream is not going anywhere. The elders used to say that a person is never read alone. Whoever stood beside you in the dream matters as much as what you saw, and the path behind you matters as much as the one ahead. Look, a dream with your people in it has already done half its work. May the name you were given keep you well.
