long story short.... i remember being in a huge strange looking aquarium. it was huge, rectangular shape, and it was green/bluish looking color (almost the color of copper when it oxidizes) and were two pillers and the walls were elegantly designed like those you see in ancient writings and arts.

the aquarium was of course filled with clear blue water, but inside was me and two alligators, two king cobras, and bunch of piranhas. they all start chasing after me. the whole time i was running counter clockwise and running along the wall. i keep away from them and i notice the alligators were eating away at the piranhas, the one king cobra chasing me and the other is standing still but will attack me if i run close to it. then i remember grabbing one of the alligators and killing it. then i keep swimming around, avoiding being killed. i tried to coast the other alligator to the two king cobras, but it doesnt work. i actually grab the one king cobra, but i lose my attention and i run into the one king corba standing still and it ends up killing me...

anyone, what does this mean?

The aquarium could be a situation you're currently in at life or your life so far from past to present. I think the fancy ancient decorations of the aquarium means the aquarium is a baffling environment. There's some kinda reference to Atlantis or Ancient Greece/Rome... what you may feel towards these subjects (whether they interest you, confuse you, etc) may give more insight on the situation.



The piranhas were/are your smaller problems, and the crocodiles eliminating them signifies you now have problems that overwhelm those, making them seem insignificant.



The cobras seem to be more severe problems than the alligators. If the two cobras were equally threatening and had the same appearance in the dream, they were most likely representing the same difficulty. Being killed by one of the cobras, despite trying to kill one shows you believe that what you've done or what you can do to try to rid of the problem didn't or won't help.



Though, if you can't think of any deep problems that the animals would represent, then it's probably not worth thinking too much of this dream. Stress sounds like a likely possibility of what the problems may be.

Aquarium:



To see an aquarium in your dream, signifies that you have acknowledged your emotions but have not yet confronted them. Thus, it may refer to your unconscious thoughts or repressed sexual desires. Also, you may feel that your life is going no where or that you feel it is going in circles. Alternatively, the aquarium may indicate that you need to calm down and set some time for yourself to relax and unwind.



Alligator:



To see an alligator in your dream, symbolizes treachery, deceit, and hidden instincts. It may be a signal for you to take a new perspective on a situation. It may also represent your ability to move between the material world of waking life and the emotional, repressed world of the unconscious. Alternatively, the alligator represents healing powers and qualities. An alligator also suggests that you are thick-skinned or insensitive.



To dream that you are running away from the alligator, indicates that you are unwilling to confront some painful and disturbing aspect of your unconscious. There is some potentially destructive emotion that you are refusing to acknowledge and owning up to.





Cobra:



To see a cobra in your dream, represents creation, and creative energies. Some situation or relationship has you hypnotized.



Piranha:



To see piranhas in your dream, suggests that something is eating away at your unconscious. You need to release some of those pent up feelings and confront those issues that are causing much internal conflict.



Running:



To dream that you are running away from someone, indicates an issue that you are trying to avoid. You are not taking or accepting responsibility for your actions. In particular, if you are running from an attacker or any danger, then it suggests that you are not facing and confronting your fears.



Chase:



To dream that you are being chased, signifies that you are avoiding a situation that you do not think is conquerable. It is often a metaphor for some form of insecurity. In particular, to dream that you are chased by an animal, represents your own unexpressed and unacknowledged anger which is being projected onto that animal. Alternatively, you may be running away from a primal urge or fear.





Swimming:



To dream that you are swimming, suggests that you are exploring aspects of your unconscious mind and emotions. The dream may be a sign that you are seeking some sort of emotional support. It is a common dream image for people going through therapy.



To dream that you are swimming underwater, suggests that you are completely submerged in your own feelings. You are forcing yourself to deal with your emotional difficulties.



you can also look for the other details in your dream, like "blue" or "green."

Subconsciously or consciously, you may feel confined and trapped in your life. You may be apprehensive or unsure or afraid of making, what you perceive, as the right choices in your life to make the most of it. The setting may have appeared nice, but really isn't to you. Maybe you are trying to escape the people/things around you because they do not make you feel good? I found it interesting that you noted you were running counter-clockwise--possibly meaning you desire to go back to a different time in your life?

Very interesting--cool question.
