Interpreting dreams?

Scary dream....a 10ft alligator was chasing me then decided to shed its skin! (I watched this from afar) Once he was done, he then resumed chasing me (based on my scent), but could not find me cause I hid. And to top it off, I was on the cell phone the entire time!





What does this mean?

Interpreting dreams?
The alligator represents the old you, or things you used to do that you now regret doing, and that you don't see as being who you are now. You are going through changes in your life, and your mind is using the alligator to represent the old you, and those changes.





The cell phone has nothing to do with it, it is just because you use a cell phone a lot and that is how your mind views you now, as a modern, independent woman.
Reply:You have a stalker and your cell phone bill is way too high.
Reply:sounds freudian (seriously). any sexual anxieties in your life?
Reply:May be you went to a pet shop within last few days.
Reply:Wow..interesting dream. Try to remember how you felt during and after the dream. Then corralate that with what is currently going on in your life. The alligator symbolized something in your life. The cell phone may symbolized that you are trying to talking to someone in your life, but are not able to. Good luck!
Reply:I don't know exactly but don't have sex without protection
Reply:Though I'm not sure..I do know that being chased in a dream means fear of not living up to expectations, fear of losing or lacking success.


While crocodiles mean unexpected danger and/or sadness.


And a mobile phone can suggest that you desire answers from others.


So to sum it up you could be afraid of not living up to expectations since some new threat occurred in your life and you are waiting for help from others instead of dealing with it you self.

Reply:Wow, I was going to put alot of thought into this one until I read Dan's answer. My answer would be pale and unworthy after his. Give those 10 points to Dan!
Reply:fear of the devil [crocodile] -- subconscious guilt; conscious but repressed fear of future -- crying out for help [cell phone] inside
Reply:IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE SOME THINGS THAT YOU HIDE FROM THE PEOPLE THAT YOU MOST CARE ABOUT. YOU ARE AFRAID THEY MIGHT NOT LIKE YOU IF YOU DO. IT ALSO MEAN THAT YOU ARE HESITATING WHETHER TO SHARE THOSE THINGS WITH SOMEONE OR NOT. YOU ARE TRYING TO HIDE FROM YOUR OWN SELF, FROM THE THINGS THAT YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF. THAT'S WHAT THE ENTIRE CHASE, THE ALLIGATOR SHEDDING HIS SKIN AND THE HIDING REPRESENTS.


THE CELL PHONE IS YOUR CONSTANT NEED TO BE IN TOUCH WITH SOMEONE IMPORTANT FOR YOU, BUT YOU ARE NOT A 100% SINCERE WITH HIM/HER. ALSO THAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO BE ALONE, AFRAID THAT THAT SOMEONE MIGHT NOT LIKE YOU FOR WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
Reply:Feelings or fears of being attacked or overwhelmed, possibly from within oneself, or by a powerful mother - i.e. ones internal dependence upon mother.

Alternatively, the alligator represents healing powers and qualities. According to biblical interpretations, an alligator suggests that leviathan is king over the children of pride. (Spa 74:14, Job 41:1,Isa 27:1)

You may also be expressing some aggressive feelings toward others.


To see a metamorphosis take place in your dream, denotes sudden and rapid changes in your personal life.
