Alligator/Crocodiles

I have been having these recurring dreams of alligators/crocodiles. they are not attacking me. but i see them. and sometimes i am surrounded by , what seems to be hundreds of them. I am trying to get away/stay away from them. my dreams have been vivid and sometimes i can physically feel them. as other stuff goes on in my dreams the alligators/crocodiles are just there. sometimes they are in a body of water, and sometimes they are just on land...idk i have been having these types of dreams for years. i just want to know what they mean.
