Crocodile in a dream
Folk tradition reads a crocodile in a dream as patience and caution: a reminder to keep your eyes wide open.
In folk belief a crocodile in a dream stands for something resting beneath the surface, such as a decision you keep postponing or a feeling you keep quiet about. Old dream books say it is not a bad sign but a reminder to be patient and attentive in your dealings. A crocodile lying still is read as strength waiting for its moment. Even when it looked scary in the dream, it is believed to speak only of a challenge you will handle with a cool head and small steps.
