Question

I had a dream last night about a big watersnake taking my child. What do you think the meaning is behind this?

Answer 1

I myself would think that this dream has to relate with your fears and worries.  A lot of the times dreams have to do with things that you have heard of, seen, or worry/fear about. Parents are naturally protective of their children, and you probably have a fear that you children my be kidnapped, taken from you, or just hurt in any possible way.

Answer 2

The watersnake evokes two symbols: water is the symbol of emotions; the snake is the symbol of the male phallus.  Either you are afraid of your child being sexually abuse and/or you are afraid that he will not be nurtured by his father, maybe even taken by the father.
