What are possible meanings for dreams of alligators?
Alligators are known for big mouths with sharp teeth—a great way of symbolizing a big-mouth person who makes sharp or biting comments.
Alligators ambush their prey by coming up out of the water, which can be a way of describing destructive emotions, personal attacks that come out of nowhere, or the potential for danger.
An alligator can symbolize someone who can’t be trusted. Alligators can appear non-threatening while lying in water or on the side of a river, but get too close and you could be their lunch!
A teacher has a dream about entering a building through glass double doors. Inside, it is dark. The floor between herself and the opposite wall is a pool of dark water. In the water is an alligator. She’s leery of it, but a female co-worker from her school walks up and pats it on the head. The dreamer walks out of the building, and outside is a set of stairs that leads up into the air, seemingly to nowhere.
The dreamer associates the glass double doors with her workplace, which has similar doors. The day before the dream she had a bad encounter with a supervisor. She thought she could openly talk about feelings regarding a work situation, but the encounter left her cold. The supervisor will turn on her in an instant like an alligator, and she found out the hard way. The co-worker’s action of patting the alligator on the head shows that she acts oblivious to the threat from their mutual supervisor. The stairs to nowhere symbolize a suggestion that the dreamer take steps to protect herself.

Probably the weirdest dream I’ve ever had
Last night I had a very strange dream and I have absolutely no idea what it could mean or how I was even capable of dreaming that.
It was very short. I think I was running or perhaps even floating up the street and all I could see is dead, mutilated bodies of white/albino reptiles resembling strongly alligators or crocodiles (I didn’t even know they existed, as it turns out they do exist). I was running and dodging them, jumping over them as well. The scene was frightening and bizarre, as I saw 6 or 8 juveniles laying on ground, much like you would see body bags after an accident or something. On the side of the street I saw the bigger ones, also murdered. The street seemed familiar but I’m not sure what it was, maybe the street I used to live on a very long time ago when I was a kid.
It doesn’t necessarily concern me or anything, I’m just curious what it could mean.

I had a dream about a girl I never met, and now I miss her
([Picture](https://i.imgur.com/hcTAblt.png))
I am writing this before my brain forgets the details. I had a dream about a girl I never saw in my life, with details I never imagined.
We were walking together (I don't know why) and she had a name that my character knew, but I wasn't informed/remember which one.
She was VERY considerate. I kept expecting her to make fun of me at some point, but for some reason she was super understanding. We could say things to each other without censoring too much.
We were walking in front of a clothing store, passing by a stone sidewalk, like in an old street, and there was a lot of elderly people sitting on plastic chairs (?) singing something (it looked really like Portugal, but her Portuguese was Brazilian Portuguese, and she spoke English fluently).
Anyway, she was an interesting person that I wanted to please and help. She asked me how old I was. I said "21", and she said she was "19". I concluded she was born in 2002 then.
I was like: "See you again", and after that I woke up and felt bad.
There was also some bullshit in the dream about mannequins with their hands on their hips and a crocodile (or alligator?) under a bed, who slept inside a transparent plastic bag for some reason.
There was some joke with it and with JoJo's, but I feel like it doesn't make sense outside the dream.
She was blonde, and I never had any blonde friend, nor thought about it. I almost never think about having a relationship with a girl, but here I was the one wanting it so badly.
Now I don't know if that person exists or if there is someone like that somewhere.
I never dreamed of something like that, and it felt so special :(
