Seeing “pet alligator”
in your dream

An alligator in a dream represents a knowledgeable person who guides people from darkness unto light. (Also see Crocodile)

• The dogs appearing enraged and barking ferociously: Harm and deceit will befall the dreamer from evil people.

• Dogs that are adopted as pets for entertainment and physical pleasure 
(caresses, et cetera) symbolize prosperity and good living; anything bad that would happen to them in the dream could have an adverse effect on such a good living in reality, along with sorrow and the disappearance of pleasure.

• Water dogs  (otters) refer to bad men or unfulfilled wishes and actions that do not culminate in success.

• Turning into a dog: God has given you a great knowledge and withdrawn it from you when you failed to appreciate it.

• A dog barking to the dreamer: Will hear unpleasant words from an “ungentlemanly” person.

In general, a crocodile in a dream means insolence, sins, a bandit, unlawful earnings, fear and depression. It may also mean the end of one's life, portrayed by his drowning. Seeing him in water is bad while seeing him on dry land means that he is weak and humiliated. If a crocodile pulls someone into the waters in a dream, it means that someone in authority will force him to do something he despises. If one sees himself eating the meat or flesh of a crocodile, or if one sees himself dragging a crocodile out of the water in a dream, it means that he will triumph against his enemy or opponent. (Also see Alligator; Policeman; Thief)

(Alligator; Thief) A crocodile in a dream represents a policeman. A crocodile in the water in a dream represents a person no one can trust, whether he is a friend or a foe. A crocodile in a dream also represents a thief or an untruthful merchant. If one sees a crocodile pulling him into the water where he kills him in the dream, it means that one will be caught by a policeman who will kill him, then steal his property. If one escapes from the crocodile in the dream, it means that he will escape from such a danger in real life.
