Interpretation for recurring theme

I keep having dreams where I'm stand up paddling or swimming or wading in shallow water, sometimes I'm alone and sometime I'm with my husband (we have a great relationship), and when I look down into the water, I see many snakes and crocodiles/alligators who appear to be sleeping. I quietly try to exit the water without waking them, but I never learn whether I succeed because I wake up first.

I had the same dream last night except I was able to get back onto land and found myself on a beach and this HUGE, and I really mean MASSIVE, sunfish or something beached itself and was flopping around on the beach trying to eat me. What could be the meanings of these dreams? Thanks in advance for any insights
