What does it mean to dream about an alligator or crocodile?

In most cases, dreaming about a crocodile or about an alligator will have a similar meaning. Although the two animals are different, they both share many common characteristics and symbolism.

Alligators tend to have a wider, rounded U-shaped snout, while crocodiles have a narrower V-shaped head. They live in swampy areas, as well as in areas with water and tall grasses.

They blend in very well with their surroundings. These animals can be quite aggressive and dangerous in the wild, as well as in captivity.

Needless to say, for many people, dreams about these animals can be a frightening and disturbing experience. If you feel worry or fear when you see a crocodile in your dream be sure that this is a normal reaction!

Often these animals appear out of nowhere and may pursue you in your sleep. If you feel fear during this dream, it often means that you are afraid of something, such as confrontation or dealing with a situation.

It may be something you are not aware of – or you may be afraid of unexpected news or uncertain outcomes.

While it can be scary to face our fears, the message of this animal is to remind you to be vigilant and not to ignore any potential warning signs. Ignoring your intuition can mean you won’t get the results you want.

Many nightmares involve these animals – fortunately, there are many ways to stop and prevent them.

Pay attention to your overall mood and feelings in the dream – did you feel a surge of excitement when you saw the crocodile/alligator? Were you filled with amazement or awe? If so, it could mean that you are looking for something new or interesting to do.

A symbol of resilience

We often associate alligator and crocodile skin with a very rough, flaky, dry, and coarse texture. In the dream, in many cases, it is a symbol of resilience. It means that you are up to the challenge, even though it may not be a pleasant experience. The term “thick-skinned” means that you can easily handle criticism and complaints.

Your feelings are not easily hurt. You don’t take things too personally and can understand that you can’t control others, but you can control yourself and your own thoughts and feelings. However – remember that sometimes our dreams mean the opposite! Sometimes such a dream can mean that you are insensitive to the feelings of others.

Insincerity, lack of loyalty to yourself or others

The expression “crocodile tears” means false crying. Sometimes when you dream about a crocodile it can mean that you are not yourself. You may behave in front of others and differently in front of yourself, you may pretend, that your true feelings are the opposite of what you want to believe or show to others.

This may indicate that you are not really being honest with yourself or that you are denying yourself the true emotions of a situation in your life. Sometimes this symbol appears when people are dealing with business issues and are unsure whether to trust someone or not.

Surprise and concealment

Alligators and crocodiles often hide in the water, waiting for their prey. You never know what is hiding under the surface! Therefore, it is logical that your dreams could mean hiding or concealing something. As mentioned earlier, you may not be sure if you can trust someone or something.

It may seem that someone is hiding the truth from you. Or maybe you are hiding from yourself?

Sometimes we tend to hide our own feelings. It’s easy to bury old emotions deep and hope they never come up – but that’s usually not the case. Usually repressed emotions literally “surface” at the worst possible moment.

However, not all surprises are bad. Sometimes it can mean that you are ready for something new or want to take advantage of new opportunities.

We also have many hidden talents and skills that we don’t always appreciate. Alligators and crocodiles are often assigned as power animals during spiritual healing sessions because they are powerful.

They can be there to help you feel more confident and tap into your inner power and wisdom.
