Seth Speaks talks about symbols in depth, if you want to check it out. Most of the Seth stuff seems to jive with the Ra Material pretty well.
I personally think symbolic significance will vary from person to person, depending on what experiences have shaped their attachments to certain symbols. I, for example, see the serpent as a symbol of wisdom and transformation. Many, however, see it as a symbol of evil, the devil or what-have-you. Or, say you see the serpent as a positive symbol, then you are bitten by a snake and almost die. Then, you dream of a snake. It might mean something different to you after the bite than it would have before. Of course, this is just my opinion.
