There's An Alligator Under My Parents' Coffee Table

This rain is freaking me out.

Normally I don't like to talk about dreams; I think that they are generally devoid of psychological or mystical meaning and are simply just a set of snapshots from things you saw on TV that night or just slightly-twisted verbatum of your day.  My dreams generally fly on the mundane side of things-- I dream of waking up

Alligators most always symbolize a problem! To kill or conquer one means you have overcome a problem. To be surrounded by one means you have to choose one bad thing to get out of a lot of bad things. (any way you run you will encounter at least one). To be eaten or killed by an alligator means the problem that is haunting you is likely to do you harm if not cured. To have a pet alligator symbolizes great control over one's problems.

A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.

Hmmm, these are very interesting assessments. There is certainly no shortage of anxiety in my noggin. If snakes are Satan and gators are trouble, then did I somehow in my dream save Satan from danger? Wow, I am so evil in my dreams...
