I have been working with the alligator energy in dreams lately. In one dream I meet a man who is dressed like he is form the WW2 era with boots, hat, a close shave and a riding crop. He is teaching me how to march and then teaching me how to address the many alligators in my life. The ones whose eyes glow green I would have to comfort, and or kill.
This morning after going back to sleep I dreamt that the alligator was helping me navigate past/present and future, and there was a emphasis on gender.

Thus, you are a gifted healer in the emotional realms.
https://www.spirit-animals.com/alligator-symbolism/The alligator visited me last night. It was very large and had intense aggression. His eyes were yellow green with thin slits for pupils. I wonder what the man quoted above meant by comforting or killing it...
But as I speculate the unspoken energy being thrown around by my self and others, I think I begin to understand.
I am also finding, again, that the alligator energy brings not just aggression but fluidity with sexuality and communication.
