Alligator Dreaming

As I might have mentioned before most of my dreams have a least a guest appearance from an a
Alligator. I won’t bore you with the details but the dream I had on Friday night had the obligatory gators.

Ok then, if you insist I will bore you:

This is your Life:

There was a TV program when I was young called This Is Your Life. Basically you find a famous person who isn’t busy and he or she sits in the studio while the host drags in people from their past. Filled with lots of sentimental crap it always sort of went:
“You haven’t seen him for 30 years, here is Mr Smith your high school maths teacher”.

So I’m snuggled up in my well posh bed knocking out the z’eds and along comes my torturous version of this is your life.

“You haven’t seen her since she held your head under water until you were sick, she is the reason you were scared of water for most of your childhood, here she is Mrs ****”

“All the way from their job in Macdonald’s especially to be here tonight here is the girl who bullied you at school because you had a funny accent, yes you guessed it, it’s ******”

“You thought you would never see her again but we got permission from the prison governor. Here she is the girl you thought was your friend until she went psychotic, tried to glass you and threatened to burn down your house. It’s your worst friendship mistake ever *****”

And then the grand finale. “You have seen them in your dreams for the last few years but tonight we have made special arrangements to bring them here to the studio. You have never met them in person before, it’s the dream Alligators.”

And out on to stage come a set of alligators. One normal in his gatorness just kind of waddled along looking mean. The other had made a big effort and dressed for the occasion in a smart suit.

I have a feeling my subconscious hates me!

I checked out alligators in the web dream interpretation sites, it’s not good:

Alligators most always symbolize a problem! To kill or conquer one means you have overcome a problem. To be surrounded by one means you have to choose one bad thing to get out of a lot of bad things. (any way you run you will encounter at least one). To be eaten or killed by an alligator means the problem that is haunting you is likely to do you harm if not cured. To have a pet alligator symbolizes great control over one's problems.

I'm not sure that I have dreamt about a pet alligator but in one dream I was wearing alligators as shoes, I hope that means I'm walking all over my problems!
