Interpretation 3 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox

The reptilian brain is something that all animals on the planet share; it governs the most basic functions, such as breathing and survival instincts.

If a reptile features in your dreams, you are connecting to this fundamental element of life. There may be additional meaning associated with the specific animal that is present, but certainly the universal meaning of basic instincts is at play when a reptile appears in a dream.
