An interpretation of alligator dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. 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. See also: Ambushing, Animals, Reptiles, Teeth
