Dream About Observing Alligators
To observe a resting crocodile within the water, it may be a signal for you to take on a new perspective on a situation.
To see a moving crocodile in and out of the water, the dream represents your ability to move between the physical, material world of waking life and the emotional, repressed world of the subconscious. If you are swimming with alligators or crocodiles and unaware of it in the dream, it suggests that you need to be observant about the nearby lurking dangers. If you intentionally swim with the animals, then it means that you are aware of your own negative thoughts.
When you know that there is an alligator or crocodile hidden inside the water, waiting for you to let your guard down. It reflects a warning in the waking life, you may have a competitor who is watching your every move, and they will take you down when they have the chance.
Below are some of the other common dream interpretations regarding alligators or crocodiles.
Dream About Crocodile or Alligator Attack
The alligator is symbolic of someone ruthless, insensitive, and treacherous. If the alligator in the dream is biting and holding you still, it suggests that this person has a stronghold on you despite your efforts to break free from the unhealthy relationship.
When you are injured from a croc or gator attack, consider checking out body dream interpretations to determine the meaning associated with the injury. For example, a crocodile attacking your legs suggest that the aggressive behavior is throwing off your balance of life.
Dreaming about an alligator or crocodile crushing you under its weight suggests that you feel violated or taken advantage of somehow.
Dream About Defending Against Alligators or Crocodiles
Dreaming about an alligator or crocodile chasing you suggests that the past’s destructive emotions are catching up to you. Perhaps you have been trying to ignore the hidden dangers of those emotions.
When you run away while being chased by the alligator, it indicates that you do not want to confront your subconscious because it may be painful or disturbing.
Dream About Crocodile or Alligator Pet
To catch the crocodile or alligator as a pet, suggest you have now reigned in and control your negative thoughts; to kill it with a gun means putting an end to those thoughts. When you are fighting or wrestling versus the alligator or crocodile, it suggests that you need masculine power to achieve your goals.
To capture an alligator and to let it go back to the wild in the dream, suggest that you let your enemies live or go in waking life. The enemy may turn back and bite you in the future.
Dream About Eating Alligator or Crocodile
When you consume the beat of an alligator or crocodile in the dream, it reflects the healing powers and qualities that they possess. You are beginning to heal yourself from the treacherous and vicious attacks.
Dream About Wearing an Gator Skin Jacket or Clothing
Suppose you dream that you have crocodile or alligator skin or wear clothing made with the skins. It indicates that you are thick-skinned or insensitive.

Please may you help me i dreamt i was being chased by an aligator. It was mountanious place i ran until i reached a house where i locked myself in. When i peeped through an opening i saw a lion and a dog fighting with the aligator but they overpowered it. Pliz interpret it for me
I dreamt of an Alligator trying to attack me but it never got close to really harm me , like it jus kept on coming after me and like every time it would get on it’s four legs and run and try to attack me I’d run faster than it and it wouldn’t get the chance .
I dreamt white crocodile it did not harm any one… But saved a baby child of a human from drowning in water
I dreamt about two white aligators swimming in a dirty lake above the house, I grab some opened tangerine inside and fed them, and then they started to stand up and wanted to go inside the house but I forced to not let them in. But they are so strong, so I let them in, I fear that they might eat me or somethin, and then they started to talk to me like they were friendly white crocodiles. I don’t remember anything about what they say but after we bath them, I gave them some tangerines and they left peacefully. I think its a bit funny and a weird dream but…. Can someone interpret this? Sorry for my bad english
Hi friends, I dreamt of an alligator big sized one..it stood straight and was showing its white coloured down body…it was very fleshy and lines were there..I was coming out of his stomach..not through mouth…but directly tearing its skin and came out walking with a proud face like a very brave man..but I am a female. Once I came out the alligator went back to the water. The place was very crowded and noisy. I never feel scary in my dream. Can anyone interpret this ? Thanks.
Hello, Reshma it sounds like you have been going through rough times in your life. You are also a fighter and a brave woman and don’t give up easy. There are things in your life you want to accomplish and you might be having opposition from others and maybe even your own family. You coming out of the stomach of the alligator shows that your are strong and and will defeat any thing that will try to stop you from accomplishing your goals. You are a winner and overcomer!
I am again and again dreaming of alligator. Though they have never attacked me but I always feared them. What does this mean.
I had another dream with Alligator theme. The scene this time was a waterway or pond in my backyard, my dog and neighbor puppy (white lab) playing in yard…puppy runs off into water- I call out to it, unit ignores me. Then I hear a splash..the puppy goes under, then reappear son far bank… climbing up into the mud. I then see the huge light colored alligator in the mud with puppy heading directly for it…again I call the dog , dog ignores me. Alligator snaps at dog…dog evades..alligator swings around and gets dogs tail… I woke up.
First time I’ve dreamt of light color alligator not sure if his color or dried river mud … and it’s features were more rounded (as if a chubby giant alligator)…
They always make me feel dread…don’t like dreaming of them but come fairly often… any ideas people? Thanks.
I have a very similar dream, and I’m usually in the water with my dog, but yeah it’s always I get out and the alligator has been chasing me, and then goes directly for my dog. Snaps a couple times and eventually bites her but i wake up as well. It is always in a body of water like a pond or a pool. This last one was a baby alligator so it was a little different. I’d love to hear some feedback for your dream, thinking it is pretty similar.
In my dream I was on a high balcony that felt like a vacation home, maybe an Airbnb our of town or something. I’m trying to take a picture of the sunrise with the body of water outside the balcony. I notice that inside the water are two men and one of them was holding a baby, maybe like one year old and one an alligator takes then baby from him. I freak out yelling at them “omg the baby, do something! Don’t just stand there, fight him!” But the man just lets the baby go and the other man just stands still as to not upset the alligators (I suppose they felt there were more). Then I ask them if I should call the police and the man tells me not to worry about it. Then I notice that paramedics are there helping a man get out of the water who was bit on the shoulder by a gator. The people I was with hear me and come out to the balcony and I start telling them what happened in distress. Suddenly more people are in the water now, families with their children and even a tour guide like it’s an excursion or something. I start yelling at them to get out that there’s gators and they took a baby bit another man. And I can see all the gators near the people but no one listens to me. A woman holding her daughter by the hand inside the water tells me something (I can’t recall the words) but it was dismissing my warnings. I kept just freaking out over the fact that I saw a baby get taken by an alligator and then I woke up.
Feelings felt were anger, fear, agony and distress
If anyone can help interpret all this I’d appreciate it!
I think this dream has two direct meanings. One – It sounds like in your waking life, you feel unheard. You feel that people don’t listen to you, much to their own peril. Two – I can see that this dream occurred close to June 27th, 2020, which is during the pandemic. Perhaps your mind manifested a story that enacts the perils of the virus. The people all around you who are in danger, and don’t want to accept it. Are there people in your life who refuse to take the dangers of the virus seriously? Perhaps the news reports of people congregating in large groups without masks on has slipped into your subconscious, and you are afraid for them, and wish they would listen to the warnings. You said they were “Dismissing my warnings”. That is basically a narrative of what is happening in the world around us all right now – many people are dismissing the warnings. It sounds to me like a Covid-19 dream. Believe me, you are not the only one suffering through these terribly stressful dreams right now. I had a terrible crocodile dream last night, which is why I am lurking on here. Mine has a different meaning as the story was entirely different, but the symbolism of danger is a common thread. Hope this helps!
Hi. I hope there is someone who can help me to interpret the meaning of my dream yesterday.
-Few steps away from our house. I saw a Golden-Yellow Alligator in fact it was big and its color was so bright. Chased me. What i do that time is to get him inside our house. So i can lock him and run outside the house. When i get the chance to go outside of the house. I also got chased and bark by some puppies and dogs. Its like theyre not go nna passed me by and not gonna get out of the house. The last thing i remembered is that i cut the meat of the alligator. And just trying to cook it.
I dreamed an big alligator was chasing me and I was trying to climb up something but didn’t make it the alligator opened it’s large mouth to bite me but I kept it’s mouth wide opened with my hands and started screaming for my daddy and walked towards my dad to kill it and he had a large sword as I had the most stretched wide opened but I woke up and didn’t see him kill it
I had a dream about aligators in my hair that I released into the water. What could that mean?

I had a dream that alligator actually chase and eating my husband alive and I ran away.
I had a dream that I had eggs that were hatching….don’t know where the eggs came from. They were just there. But the eggs hatched into a two headed alligator and I worried about them…didn’t want anyone to hurt them. They wriggled around till they could get their footing and crawled on….but then I realized they could be unattached through the umbilical cord and when I was pulling them apart a big white bunny that was dead was pulling out of it.
