Baby Crocodile in dreams

Lurking danger — usually emotional, often submerged.

In its baby form, the symbol points to a new, vulnerable instance of itself — something that requires care, cannot yet defend itself, and may not yet be ready for the world. Forgetting or losing the baby version of the symbol in the dream is one of the dictionary's strongest signals of neglect.

A crocodile in a dream is the dictionary's image of a danger that has been lurking under the surface of a situation — usually an emotional one. The crocodile waits in the water; in dreams, the water is the unconscious, and the crocodile is what swims in it without showing itself.

This is rarely a violent dream. More often the dream is noting that you have known there is something dangerous in the situation and have been pretending not to see it.

Where you often see it. A crocodile partly submerged. A crocodile on a riverbank. The dream uses the crocodile for lurking danger — usually emotional, often submerged.

What it is not. A crocodile is not always literal threat. The dictionary reads it as the watching, half-hidden risk.

Related in the dictionary. Read crocodile with snake (a different lurking), water, swamp, and any scene of partly-visible danger.
