alligators?

i had forgotten, but one of the guys in my class made a comment about swimming in a lake in orlando and the danger of alligators. suddenly, i remembered, i had just had a dream the other night where i was walking along a path at night. there was someone else with me, but i don't know who it was. all of a sudden, an alligator appears and manages to grab hold of my arm. i extricate my arm (no real damage) and begin wrestling with the alligator. some people might run, it seemed like a better idea to fight. i clamped his mouth shut with my hands, and then dragged him off somewhere in an attempt to neutralize him long enough to get away. that's all i remember. don't know what that means.

Courtesy of Maljonic's Dreams: "This cold-blooded animal could hold several different meanings in your dream. It could symbolically represent something from your memory, emotions, or a current situation or individual in your life. Some think that the alligator represents verbal power used in a destructive way (angry and hurtful words). Others believe that it represents an enemy. Consider the details in your dream and your level of fear. This dream symbol should encourage you to look at some of your more "dangerous" emotions, memories, and experiences. The alligators in your dreams will begin to lose the power to frighten you as your understanding increases."

hmm.

learning fact: if you poke an alligator in his eyes, he will open his mouth. also, their jaw muscles are very strong closing, but very weak openeing.
