Hi Ellen-

Yes.. you answered your own question. You are obviously overwhelmed by something going on in your life and you feel like things are coming at you in all directions. Hence the growing and multiplying of the snakes.  

To be bitten often means that someone will betray you or you have contradicting betraying thoughts or emotions around you BUT not all snake dreams representative something of ill will or sad nature. On the contrary, they can represent enlightenment, awakening knowledge.. Here, let me grab an exhert for you..

"As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes."

Especially if you dream of Cobras.  

Also, sometimes animals enter our dreams when a totem has actually entered within your life to help you with certain aspects of yourself.  I usually can tell when an animal is a symbol or if it is a totem by paying close attention to my feelings of relation toward the animal in my dream.  Were you frightened of the snakes? Did they seem to carry a demeanor of a shared relationship with you (Either acceptance on your end or visa versa?)

Follow your intuition on this.  Just because you were bitten by one, it could really be that they are trying to get your attention if it is indeed a newly entered totem.

Here is what a snake totem brings you.  I cary snake and have for years.

***  Wisdom, Healing, Initiation

This a powerful totem -- it is
the symbol of transformation and healing.
The Snake is wisdom expressed through healing.

The Snake is the symbol of eternity.

It is a protector and guardian totem,
along with its sister totems, the Dragon and the Serpent.

 
If a snake totem has come into your life, your creative forces are awakening.
Your intuition will sharpen and be more accurate.

Snake energy is the energy of wholeness, cosmic consciousness, and
the ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance.
It is the knowledge that all things are equal in creation.

It also signals a transition in your life.
New opportunities and/or changes.

Snake is fire medicine, the medicine of transmutation.
On a material level, it is vitality; on an emotional level, it is ambition and dreams;
on a mental level, it is intellect and power; on a spiritual level (the highest level),
it is wisdom, understanding and wholeness.

Snake magic is heavy magic.  
Become the Magician and transmute the energy and accept the power of the fire.

The Snake is one of the symbols of Thoth.
