Very Disturbing Nightmare About A Demon - Interpretations Wanted

The content of the dream itself wasn't that disturbing, but the general vibe if it was. I dreamed I was part of a motorcycle gang and I was stopping by this garage to see someone. I parked my bike outside and entered. Inside was a large aquarium. The guy I like is there sitting on a pile of spare tires smoking weed, which is odd because in real life he can't handle the stuff. His two best friends, a young. An and woman, are there as well and I say hi to everyone. I make some kind of comment about the aquarium and he mentions having a very rare species in there. There's someone else I don't know there, some scrawny old guy with a beard and eye patch who seems to know the guy I like pretty well. He turns to him after taking a long drag off the cigarette he's holding and says, "When's the last time you saw them demons, boy?" He laughs, almost as if he's embarrassed about something and says, "Oh, the two demons? I haven't seen them in a while. Last time I did was when he was around," he said, pointing at me, "They're gone now. Last time he was there, both of them latched on to him. Haven't seen them since." I glance up at him in confusion. "What do you mean they fucking latched onto me?" I said. He stares at me very intently and his eyes look strange. His pupils are totally blown out and his eyes look almost silver instead of blue. I'm not sure whether it makes me nervous or turns me on. Maybe a bit of both, either way I can't look away. "You heard me," he said, "Look behind you and you'll see them. I suddenly get a *horrible* feeling in the pit of my stomach and look over my shoulder. Behind me in front of the fish tank is a massive, dark-colored creature with a reptilian face, skin, snout and teeth of a crocodile, huge talons, glowing pupilless red eyes and the body and ears of a cat but with none of the typical feline cuteness you'd expect. It makes this *awful* snarling, clicking noise and leaps into the tank. The way it moves through the water is unsettlingly fluid and suddenly I am in the tank floating at the top while that horrible thing is swimming a few feet below me eating a larger fish. It begins to swim upwards and I know it's going to eat me next and I start panicking and trying to pull myself out if the tank. Then I woke up.

Anyway can someone please tell me what this means? Haven't had a dream this disturbing for a while.

Interpret this?

I don't really believe in dream interpretation but I'm curious.

My common things:

Floating. Going any higher than low level takes extreme effort.

There are often fences , and as I try to float over them I am repulsed.

If I float over water I fall in and drown or am eaten by sharks/sea monsters.

I occasionally have the teeth falling out thing.

Sometimes I am walking through a huge aquarium with glass tanks of sea monsters n sharks and sometimes the glass breaks and I am in fear.

Just had a pretty bad dream about the protests

The protests made it to where I live, like right outside of my house, and I went outside, while outside on my own property I was practically kidnapped by the police and taken to an institution where I was “waterboarded” (it wasn’t waterboarding but in the dream we called it waterboarding). The place I was taken to was disguised as an aquarium. It’s probably just my fear of water and kidnapping deciding to screw with me but it was still scary nonetheless.
