Ancient, intelligent, elusive, invisible/transparent, valuable, potentially dangerous, and yet not feared. It excites you. You want to capture the moment, but using old means. You're unimpaired. You have a telepathic understanding.
Hmm, what could all this be about for you. I am not sure,but here are some ideas:
You say you come from a Catholic family. A snake has a very specific symbolic meaning in Christianity: the temptor that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden in the story of original sin, when the snake tempted the woman, the woman tempted the man, to disobey God and eat from the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. Is that the symbolism in your dream? I don't think so, your dream's mood sounds positive and much lighter than that. So I don't think it is about sin. However, perhaps a bit of that symbolism does apply: snake as temptation perhaps? A less evil type of temptation though I think.
If the snake had something to do with temptation, why would you be tempted by? A treasure that is hidden in an invisible body? I think perhaps the snake's body is invisible because it is not a material treasure you are talking about here: a treasure of the mind or an emotional treasure, a special understanding of something ancient or old.
I was going to say that I don't think this is related to your work because bankers deal with material not immaterial treasures, but then I thought about how you said that you find the industry to be lacking and shallow, and I thought of that in relation to an invisible snake with treasure eyes, and think that maybe the snakes invisibility is because of the shallowness of the industry, but again that would not really fit your excitement nd positive mood in this dream, so no, I am thinking that this is not about your work.
So if it is not work related, is it related to your relationship to your girlfriend? Maybe. A treasure hidden in an invisible body, an elusive attraction, a telepathic understanding with an ancient being. Could this be about love? Maybe. I don't know: it depends on how deep a relationship you and your girlfriend have I think. Is it almost telepathic, an invisible understanding, that seems older than your relationship actually is? If you have a deep love this could be about that, but maybe it is not.
MAybe it is about a quest for something special that you do not have yet, something still elusive and yet so desirable. Perhaps it is about work after all, not your current work, but the elusive desire to have a purpose that is not shallow
And extremely lacking, a goal in life work or personal, a quest.
It could even be spiritual. A desire for a greater understanding of God, an ancient intelligent being with whom you can communicate telepathically? Of course, God is not traditionally portrayed as a serpant. But that does not men it can't be about God.
Of course, all these are just some possible thoughts, and I may be completely wrong. If any of this does not sound right, feel free to disregard. I just hope that at least some of these ideas will open up new ideas in your own mind, plowing you to interpret your own dream.
