When I fell in I immediately saw a giant, enormous alligator. Like maybe 15 ft long, 3 ft wide head pointed straight at me. He was submerged underwater. I glanced around quickly looking for a way out and saw another one down the creek trailing towards me. I screamed for my father, summoning him. He came out from behind a tree and started running towards me, almost in slow motion. When he came over I didn't say anything, I think just expecting him to help me
That's a cool dream. Animals can very often be used as a clue that one is dreaming. I like to use the mantra "I see an animal, I realize that I am dreaming" and repeat this throughout the day. One can also be on the lookout for animals when doing daily ADA and RC when seeing one. I liked how you summoned your dad to help you. This is exactly how we do it in lds too. One can learn a lot even from non-lds.
