Crocodile in Dreams - Ancient Fears and the Devouring Unconscious

The crocodile is a survivor from prehistoric times, symbolizing the "reptilian brain"—our most primitive survival instincts. It lies hidden beneath the surface of the water (the unconscious), waiting to strike. A crocodile in a dream warns of a hidden, cold-blooded danger in your waking life or a sudden surge of ruthless, primitive emotion that threatens to devour your rationality.
