Alligators Everywhere! Dream 20181007

I am on vacation in the deep south with my wife. We are traveling in Florida or perhaps somewhere around New Orleans. We have a big van that I think we can sleep in although sometimes it feels like we are with a larger family group. I am not sure if it is family from the area or people we traveled with.

We are at my wife's sister's house. I think it isn't one of her real sisters but seems like a composite. Or a niece. She has about three children, a  husband, and a little black poodle dog.

My deceased brother is also with us. My wife takes some family members somewhere, not sure where while me and my brother stay to watch fireworks, or some other event.

I notice through the kitchen door that leads to a body of water that there a many alligators maybe 100 feet away. My brother and I, we head out the front door to watch the event. I wonder if we brought our chairs with us because there isn't anywhere to sit.  Walking out to where other people are I see baby alligators everywhere with exaggerated golden teeth.

I go back into the house and look out the kitchen door and I see the alligators making a charge to the house. I see the black poodle outside and I start to open the door to let the dog out and the dog wants to go out but alligators are almost at the door.

I run out the front door and think about warning people because the kitchen is parallel to the front door. I look just past the car port and I lion is there and runs away as soon as I look.

And that is where I wake up more or less feeling fear, like a nightmare. It is about 8:00 AM and I just decide to get up.

The Cat-Eating Doll Dream 20180902

I am outside reading when a neighborhood cat approaches me. It is a very friendly orange cat and I start petting him.

For whatever reason I move inside only it is the basement of the house I grew up in. I am sitting with the cat in my lap, stroking it. Across from me is a little girl, or what I thought was a little girl at first. It was about three feet tall with curly blond hair but when I look into its eyes, it has plastic bulging eyes that look like a hypnotic wheel.

I turns out we are in some sort of contest. The doll asks me questions about the cat. Somehow this turns into I have to let the cat go and find a hiding place. If the doll finds the cat's hiding place, it gets to eat the cat. There is some sort of time limit but I do not remember what.

I protest, this sounds awful but somehow the doll gets me to relent. I put the cat down, realizing it isn't even my at and the cat has never been in this environment before. Regardless, the cat starts walking away and enters the laundry room.

The doll sits with a very creepy smile on its lips watching the cat disappear into the laundry room. After a while the doll and its entourage gets up and starts into the laundry room looking for the cat. I see the cat leave the laundry room and go into the kitchen which connects to the furnace room.

The doll and its group spends a lot of time in  the laundry room looking for the cat. I decide to go into the furnace room and try to rescue the cat when two other people show up. In the dream I know who they are and they are playing some sort of fantasy play and I am very, very annoyed with them because I think they will give the cat's hiding place away.

After a few minutes the cat comes out of the furnace room as if nothing is wrong. The doll and its group is still searching the laundry room. I scoop the cat up and walk past the laundry room hiding the cat as much as possible and head upstairs to let the cat free.
