Still crocodile
A crocodile motionless at the water's edge — ancient stillness that is, in fact, full attention.
A still crocodile in a dream is the dream's image of ancient stillness that is, in fact, full attention. The crocodile that looks like a log is the most dangerous version. The dream brings the crocodile when something in your life — a quiet rival, a watching figure, an old grievance held without complaint — is currently presenting as inert and is in fact entirely focused. A crocodile noticed at the right distance is the dream telling you the stillness has been read for what it is. A crocodile mistaken for scenery, with the dreamer stepping past its head, is the dream noting that the misread has been made and the moment of strike is the next move.
