omg i didnt see that coming lol

well, i've never had this dream before and do not remember most of my dreams, but last night/early this morning, had clear dream about two juvenile (small) black crocodiles...Melanosuchus niger (SPIX, 1825) native to Bolivia, apparently. i have never dreamt of crocs before, never been to Bolivia, and it was not a fearful dream except in dream i was standing in ankle deep swamp with local person who pointed them out and then i realized they were a few inches away and did not look hungry (!) because mouths shut, but definitely crocks and definitely black. A few months ago, i had a dream about a lion, but lion was not attacking, i was watching lion from my window on first floor hut and lion was walking slowly behind a group of people walking single file through a jungle, following a narrow path. any connection between these two dreams? anyone see any symbols here? i've not had any scary nightmares at all for many years, since i started using cpap, before that i used to dream about drowning, probably because i couldn't breathe. now my dreams are symbolic or more like sitting around in various places having various discussions with people, not adventure dreams. if anyone has dreamt recently of black crocodiles or lions, please post or send me an email! could it be i am getting somebody else's dream?

this is what it was in my dream Black Caiman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, and the lion a few months ago was a male lion, but looked submissive.

Maybe it might help to look up videos of baby crocs and look at how adorable they are, then watch some Steve Irwin and see if that helps with the nightmares. Kind of hard to have nightmares of a killer puppy or kitty same philosophy here.

it was NOT A NIGHTMARE! it was an interesting confusing dream with a clear message just not sure what the message IS!

Psalms 74:14, "14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert."

Job 41:1
"Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook
or tie down its tongue with a rope?"

Isaiah 27:1
"In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword—
his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster of the sea."

i suppose they might be symbolic of the two lawyers (LOL) that i am dealing with in my current litigation, but i do not believe either of them is African American (maybe one is from Cayman Islands or Bolivia?) i do not want to forget about it, i want to more fully understand it. the bible quotes are from search i just did on "alligator dream." It has a flavor of being a dream somebody out there was trying to SHARE. is it?

neither dream was scary, the lion one was very peaceful. i still do not have a clear sense of being asleep when these things happen, more like a semi-conscious idea that it's a dream and i can wake up whenever i want to, and i consciously asked for a dream that would help me figure out where i am moving to next, i doubt it will be the Amazon Rain Forest or the Cayman Islands!

Job seems to come closest to having meaning for me at this moment in time, i would appreciate more interpretations! Thanks MUCH for reading so far!

animals mean something in our dreams. If its something coming to you since childhood and you havent had any major experiences with them its probably the involvement of archetypal material. Your ancestry has probably dealt with them in the past and it is manifesting in your mind as the avatar of fear/death.

now thats a new one to me,never heard of archetype material

thanks for the replys too

For me, this is the ONLY dream I have ever had about crocodiles and it was not fearful at all.

If you're referring to Leviathan being a crocodile then you are wrong, it is a dragon.

My sister has had a reoccuring nightmare since she was a kid about crocodiles attacking and eating her/other family members. She's never figured out what it means though, as far as I know.

I am not trying to be "right" or to be "wrong," I am wondering what the association could be since this was the ONLY dream about crocodiles I've had and they were caimans, a species not native to any place I've lived, it was not a fearful dream, they were at my feet.
