(Crocodylus acutus)
The alligator in the interpretation of dreams: A crocodile that appears in our dreams could be an indication of an old serious emotional wound that must be healed. Alligator Essence: When the traditions and old patterns do no longer satisfy us, this essence shows us how we can get rid of them in order to continue developing inwardly. On the body level: At this level, the internal conflicts create many problems. During the night, our inner nervousness often leads to bruxism. The teeth are excessively grinded and this hurts the dental enamel. The Alligator essence is excellent for dental problems and it can also help to release the tension that has been gathered in masticatory muscles and in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
On the emotional level: The crocodile can be an indication of serious injuries, of an important theft of energy and even of an abuse. This may have occurred in the genealogical line or in a past existence. The crocodile helps us overcome severe wounds and to heal them strengthening our self-confidence and helping us activate our self-healing power. It also shows us in which areas of our life we feel limited and subjected to other people. When old patterns no longer agree with us or when we do not feel represented by the old traditions of the society or the family in regards to our need for self-fulfillment and a free life, when we are limited in our potential, we will develop the necessary strength and the inner will to liberate us from the grip and the restrictions. On the spiritual level: The crocodile helps us to be true to ourselves. We learn to listen to our inner voice and to trust in God. Thus, we will develop enough strength and will to liberate us internally and externally. During difficult times or periods of transition, the crocodile is a powerful animal of protection against further injuries. It helps us to overcome our fears, to look our soul in the mirror and to put ourselves confidently under the protection of God.
