What an interesting dream Baba and I am sure it is packed with information. I love what Jeanne has written in her analysis. It was interesting that Cruz tripped. Sounds like he is creating his own fall. I don't believe Cruz has a son so I would think it is someone he is very close to, a son-like person who ratted him out.
I am wondering is the cat is referring to a "fat cat" that has been getting money dishonorably. If Cruz is a "fat cat" and there are more around, they then would need some resuming wouldn't they? A fat cat which has rated out another fat cat and needs some prison time reduction for being an informant.
This is going to be fun.
Wow, that was an interesting dream. The first thing that came to my mind was the 1/6 Insurrection and that Cruz had been one of the senators and congresspeople who rallied the insurgents beforehand and egged them on. The FBI must have information on communications between some Republicans in Congress and some of the organized insurrectionists: the Proud Boys, the militia groups, etc. If this dream refers to Cruz being implicated in coordinating with insurrectionists and those other rats could refer to the other Congress people who also colluded on January 6. It seems like we are waiting a long time for the FBI to complete their investigations of the insurrection, but surely some news will break soon.
This could be just one of several viable interpretations and I don't have a read on the cats.
@baba, @lovendures and @Kristin, This is so much fun! I thought it was the son of the motel owner who ratted on Cruz. Baba? I thought of the cat as vulnerable, not a fat cat, because he needed to be rescued. Baba, any thoughts?
In the dream, the hotel manager told me that Cruz was “ratted out” by his own son (which struck me as strange as he doesn’t have a son that I am aware of). And the cat was in need of rescuing which was why I was at the motel in the first place. Interestingly though, I never actually saw the cat in the dream.
@baba, when I read your dream I immediately saw Lewis Carroll's Cheshire cat with that mischievous grin. I find it interesting that you never really see the cat in your dream. The Cheshire cat is known to disappear and reappear, often distorting reality around him. That's what I keep seeing when I think of the cat. I did an online search and was immediately led to the following quote:
“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Not entirely sure the meaning of that being connected at all to your dream -- maybe, nothing is as it appears to be?
I can not remember ever having had a dream of any politician or even a celebrity before, but this night I had one that I would love to have your input on, as I feel it might be relevant to the topics we discuss here.
In the dream I saw T finally exposed for what he is. He lost his normal body and what was left was his head with the body of an infant. The body was slimy, sickly and disguysting. [content removed]
The dream now shifted to Harris playing ping pong. I could not see who she was playing against. Suddenly Biden came in from the side, all smiling and agile in his step. He joined in with Harris, but he did not really play very well. Instead, the ball would hit him in the forehead and bounce back. I got the feeling he was not really doing anything but getting credit for Harris work. I have to maybe stress that I have not had any such thoughts about Biden. I have seen him as an expereienced and wise statesman and have felt comfortable that he is on top of things.
I had this really strange dream of being in a river sorrounded by people I did not recognize and we were all looking at alligators in awe. The was a huge one with a abnormally large jaw and even more abnormally large teeth that took notice of me, got out of the river and began to chase me. I tried to act like I did not notice it but it chased me everywhere, even inside a house.
The house had was shaped like a donut so it never had a chance to catch up to me. Then I saw my gf sister and I escorted her out of the house( I don't get this at all) even thought she got mad at me for rushing her. I was able to get the alligator to follow me outside the house and then finally lost it.
I remember looking it at it leave from the inside of the house and then my actual phone started ringing which woke me up.
If anyone has any idea what this mean let me know ... It was really vivid so I felt like it actually meant something.
I've always felt like dreams are ways that my subconscious (guides) speaks to me but I'm stump on this one.
I had a dream about being chased by an alligator in a wetland once (or at least trying to avoid it). It took place where I live in Connecticut. Since there aren't alligators here, I think it was a dream about the changes being wrought by global warming. Could this be the case with your dream? Since rivers seem to be a metaphor for flow, change, or the path of least resistance, perhaps there's significance there too.
@blackandwhite My first thought is that the alligator represents the mythic beast, something you fear. that ultimately you are able to manage.
But the alligator has been an ancient symbol of primal instinct and unbridled power. Of course humans are afraid of these beasts because they can kill you and they are wholly mysterious and untamable. They are reptiles and our own reptilian part of our brain which is part of the lower brain is where our psychic power resides.
It is instinct.
When you ignored the creature I thought of how you might ignore your intuition about messages you are getting that you don’t want to hear or paths you take and people in your life that cause fear.
So The alligator is also something we fear and you definitely tried to get away from it. But the alligator is ultimately about your own powerful instincts so try to use it.
In the dream you were able to lead it successfully out the door.
The donut shape of the house was so interesting because it reminded me of the circular nature of all of life and the journeys we make. You clearly have a psyche that is working with your own deeper intuitive awareness and sometimes you have to run away from it, and other times you can cleverly control it. In the dream you wanted it out of the house and I see the house as your safe no-risk place. Putting it altogether is hard without knowing you or doing a full reading for you. But it feels like an important dream about you, your awareness or evolving consciousness, concerns about other people, and your path in this world.
Hey perhaps the crocodile dream could be about a threatening person (or group of people?) in the future who has an aggressive manner causing you (and others) some difficulties. Your dream suggests you manage to work around this person (or group of people) despite their trying to be difficult or critical or bullying of you (as well as others)-- you will be able to avoid them or their attitude or influence on you or others.
This article suggests that dreaming about an alligator could mean person who communicates harshly: "The mouth is almost half of the alligator. Therefore, the alligator most often … represent[s] someone who has a big mouth, and typically with that big mouth, sharp biting remarks, criticism, hurtful words, biting words"

I have never dreamed about alligators but I have dreamed about a difficult boss as a black panther that was trying to chase me (I ran up a tree and was safe in the dream)...so a threatening animal in a dream representing a threatening person makes sense to me. Or perhaps a threatening group of people is being represented as a threatening group of alligators. When the one alligator singles you out and chases you, it becomes more personal. Alligators are not good at chasing people, they usually wait silently for a prey to come too close to their jaws and then they snap at the prey. So it was easy for you to outrun the alligator. This suggests that the person or group of threatening people are not as skilled at being a threat as they would like--you easily outrun and "lose" the alligator.
You are the best judge of what the alligator represents. I saw someone yesterday with a "don't tread on me" shirt--a shirt with the coiled snake ready to bite--along with many images of bullets and assault rifles. It reminded me of the wild west when people killed others without fear of the police, they used "frontier justice" as a way to handle things. I think the snake is a good metaphor for this type of person. I am getting off on a tangent but maybe you see what I mean. A group of crocodiles=a group of loud mouthed difficult people?? Almost sounds like Republicans LoL...
@starpath I love your interpretation. I think of that big jawed alligator, and, like you suggested, the size of the mouth representing the power of words which can harm. I resonate most with your interpretation which really fits. Now to find out what @blackandwhite feels.
Thank you so much for all of yalls input. I very much understood my own dreams better with both of your interpretations.
I feel very much like Jeanne said, this crocodile or alligator is very much me, a part of me that I have not faced. I feel like it's my own aggression. Recently I've been experiencing a lot of change and been feeling challenged, in a way that has been clear that I have to shed my old skin.
There is a little bit of everything here so let me break it down. I know that for a time now I've shied away from aggression because of how others might feel, even though what I've perceived or felt was correct. this has happened a lot and I've been feeling like this cannot continue for a few months now. Generally, I've taken the easier road....because for so long I have defined myself as a mediator, or someone who values peace above the rest. But my psyche must be telling me that this is just not healthy anymore. maybe I need to realize that aggression is a necessity for a mediator, just thought of that.
I think I've also known for a bit now that I have trouble filtering, shifting through, and communicating my emotions, I grew up in a Hispanic household where men weren't allowed to feel, nonetheless I've always been very sensitive and able to perceive emotiuons fairly easily... in many cases, I've often been overwhelmed by the emotions of others. hence why I am here with yall.
Oddly enough my gfs sister is someone I feel is the complete opposite of myself, volatile, unpredictable, and specifically difficult to be around. I've never clashed with her but I have felt like is only a matter of time before we do. I think it's particularly interested that after reading yalls prediction I see myself understanding how I am escorting out someone I deem troublesome out of my " safe space".
so @starpath you're also right, I've just started a new job as a tutor and I have been dealing with kids who are extremely smart and have been taking advantage of me and my lack of experience. so yes I've been feeling a bit bullied lol. But it's okay, ill just have to learn to be a bit more stern and tough because reason will just not do.
I can share a dream I had on Wednesday June 23rd. It was simple. I arrive at work and I suddenly feel my nose is running. I need a kleenex but don't have one on me so I look for a bathroom. The women's bathroom is occupied by a repair man and is out of service, so I run into the men's bathroom (which is empty) and I grab some toilet paper for wiping my nose. I come out of the bathroom and I hear people coughing, it seems like everyone around me at work has a cold. I feel this dream is about the new covid variant called delta going around where I work. Possibly it could be another virus or the Delta plus variant...but my intuition felt it was going to happen sooner than later so I am guessing the delta variant from India. We are all vaccinated for the most part, only a couple of people will admit they aren't vaccinated. I work with around a 40-50 people maybe? The feeling I had when I woke up was that since we are all mostly vaccinated the symptoms will probably be mild. The coughing I heard was light and not that bad sounding. It still suggests to me that even being vaccinated won't prevent some symptoms and infections will still spread around, so vaccination won't prevent the spread of delta. Herd immunity will not work if vaccinated people get sick, it will just shorten the duration and severity of the illness. If this is true the unvaccinated will most likely get exposed to delta in the future, as soon as it gets to spreading around in their communities. For me personally this seems likely to happen whenever the variant gets around here to Athens, Georgia where I live and work. It seemed to me that everyone was sicker than me--maybe only because I had just caught it. It could also be because in real life if I get sick with a virus I take a lot of supplements to get over it quicker and this usually leads to milder symptoms also. I want to emphasize that my intuition seemed to suggest the symptoms are mild and everyone seemed unconcerned about it, but only because they were already vaccinated. I don't know the reason I dreamed that the women's bathroom was unavailable and I had to go into a men's restroom. It suggests something is inconvenient for me when the variant starts infecting people. I mostly work with women. If they are all sicker than me I will be working harder to make up for less people...perhaps that is what it means??
@starpath it might just be your fear of the delta. My understanding is that the covid vaccines are pretty good for the variant. Also people are still going to get colds and flu and allergies. We are all so sensitive now to coughing and runny noses. I admit I’m not looking forward to flu season. I’m likely to keep my mask on when it begins because I’m going to be worried that’s it’s a covid variant.
Hi Jeanne! Yes it could be. I seem to post the dreams that really get under my skin in some way or another. As I have often mentioned before if I post a dream I often feel I need help with it... I post hoping to get extra help/insights...I don't post many dreams but I dream a lot.
The main feeling of the dream was sort of like "this too shall pass--don't be super worried" so maybe it was in response to my worries about Delta and Delta plus variants as I read the news.
