Young Crocodile in dreams

Lurking danger — usually emotional, often submerged.

How young changes the reading

In its young form, the symbol is past the early-vulnerable phase but not yet at its full strength — a part of your life that has begun to come into its own and is still learning the shape of itself.

The base reading of Crocodile

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.
