This dream vision contains two opposing symbols which tend to neutralize each other in their overall meaning. The image of an alligator in a dream portends potential obstacles or issues looming ahead for the members of your family or people who matter in your life, perhaps the family of your niece.

An alligator is a symbol of an enemy. In that sense, you lover's playful treatment of the alligator may be a projection of your admiration for her.

Alternatively, the way to neutralize your foe may be by knowing your self-worth and your true value, as symbolized by your lover's advice in the dream. The building means that the enemy you have in mind may be a colleague or a competitor trying to take opportunities away from you.

To dream of fishing in a river means you are trying to deal with your personal issues. As such, catching an alligator refers to uncovering your dark side. You may find yourself confronting the more unsavory aspects of your character in an attempt to resolve your issues and become a better individual. It may be a painful process to acknowledge your insecurities, weaknesses and all the ugly parts in order to ultimately be more self-aware. But this renewed self-confidence would then allow you to work on self-improvement, for your own growth.

A dirty pond represents an unstable mind or turbulent emotions. Meanwhile, the alligators in the pond symbolize enemies or insincere friends who may betray you to advance their selfish interests. In trying to dodge their attacks or thwart their malicious plans, you could end up stressed and woefully disappointed in your own judgment. So falling into the pond at the end of your dream vision could mean that you could be facing an emotionally-charged period in your life. You may wallow in self-doubt or become a suspicious and a distrustful version of yourself which may not necessarily be the right option for you. As such, trying to reach land refers to your determination not to lose yourself after being betrayed.

Cooking an alligator may refer to getting rid of bad habits or darker personality traits. Seeing someone else cook them, therefore, could mean you see others improving their lives and desire to do the same, or it suggests that someone in your life is trying to get you to give up something that is not adding value to your life. In either case, the beautiful houses built on unstable ground reflect your hesitations regarding stepping into this new life. Everything would be different from before, as giving up some habits may require you to change where you live or who you interact with. Whether or not you can overcome these concerns and become who you are meant to be, however, are completely up to you.
