Fending of Alligators

I dreamed I was at a gas station filling up my car’s gas tank. The gas pump stopped after only a couple of gallons, which I knew, was wrong. My tank was nearly empty when I started. A man who was nearby filling up a container with gas showed me something on the gas nozzle to make it keep filling up my tank. I thanked him. Suddenly he disappeared leaving his pump filling up his container. His finally stopped and he was nowhere to be seen. I was afraid the gas was going to overflow so I stopped it and put the nozzle back where it goes on the pump. I then finished filling my own tank and replaced the nozzle on the pump. The man reappeared and I told him his container was filled so I put the gas nozzle back. He thanked me and I went inside the gas station. I saw standing in line JM & said hi. He told me JN was outside in their truck. I looked out & he was standing near a red pickup truck. JM told me they were on their way to see something & invited me along. He told me to leave my car and I could ride with them. I was wearing dress pants, a blouse & dress shoes and wanted to change into jeans and a t-shirt or sweatshirt so I got them from my car and got into the pickup.

Suddenly I was in the truck and we went to some cliffs that overlooked a lake or ocean. JM got out of the truck and went towards a group of people to talk to them. I stood behind the pickup, took off my blouse & pants, and was still wearing a bra, panties, and nylons when JM walked from the group of people to the cliffs and looked over. He saw a bunch of alligators and called the attention of both JN & myself. I walked over to look at them. I asked if they were alligators or crocodiles, JM told me they were alligators. The alligators walked towards me opening their mouths. I backed away from them wondering why they looked like they all wanted to eat me. There was a chafing dish food pan laying on the ground nearby so I grabbed it and used it like a shield but the ‘gators kept coming towards me. I jumped into the bed of the pickup truck but I could not get away from the ‘gators. JN jumped into the bed of the pickup and tried helping get the ‘gators away from me. He grabbed the food pan from me and tried swinging it at them but they were still approaching. I realized I was still in my underwear and tried looking around for the clothes I wanted to put on. JN noticed I looked embarrassed & was trying to cover myself up. I wouldn’t be seen in my underwear around people I’ve known for years & I had only really known these guys for roughly a month & there I was standing in my underwear trying to fend off alligators. He tried covering me up with his body as much as he could while trying to hold back the ‘gators when I woke up.
