i literally had the weirdest dream ever last night. so i was swimming in a pond and i caught a turtle. for some reason i wanted to take the turtle out of the pond. then an alligator started dragging me around underwater and when i reached the surface the alligator was gone and so was the turtle. i had my dad check the pond to see if there were any alligators, but somehow it had dissapeared. what does this dream mean?
Alligator is angry feelings and turtle is hiding your feelings, the pond is your emotions. Could be 2 things: Being attacked by the alligator underwater means there is anger under the surface that you don't want to face. The turtle is what you want to become but it means you will form a hard shell and hide your feelings instead of getting angry. Possibly both disappearing means you don't want to do either and maybe expect dad to protect you. Secondly it could be that you are already hiding your feelings and trying to stay in your shell but you want to explore your angry and need to express it. Your dad could be the focus of these feelings. Its a I little simplified but would need more background Hope it helps!
