Alligators And Crocodiles, OH MY!

I tried posting this in questions , but it was too long. Can someone PLEASE help me interpret this dream. The first dream I had in this series, my family moved to a swamp land. We went adventuring in the mountainside, and upon returning back home, I decided to go swimming in the marsh surrounding our suburbs. When I was swimming back to shore, I went through some moss and swam over an alligator or crocodile(not sure which), and as I felt the scales below me and realized what it was, I quickly held its mouth shut and wrestled it to the shore. I asked my mom for tape to close its mouth, but used shoe laces. We ended up having a party, and cooked said croc or gator. This happened about three weeks ago. Last night, I had yet another dream along a similar line. I walked with an estranged friend of mine and her family to the top of the mountains from the first dream. They began speaking in tongues and spoke of religion being more powerful than anything, and told of prophesies that the lord had told them, one of which being, death is upon you. Fearing my life, because of my lack of religion, I played along. I was suddenly wearing a beautiful satin blue dress, and the women in the group came through and examined and fixed every new woman. They said a few phrases in another language, possibly tongues, that I did not understand. I said my own phrase and they began fainting, etc. We looked out on the mountains, and the shadows from the clouds projected crosses on the mountains. After this, we drove down the mountain on some kind of giant skateboard-like thing, and the woman steering was not paying attention and drove into the swamps. A gator or croc tried to attack, but another woman grabbed it and threw it onto the shore. We kept driving to a small cave, and as everyone was walking in, I suddenly noticed there were a set of triplets, probably about 2-3 years old. I was standing at the cave entrance, and two of the triplets walked inside, but one fell into a small pool of water. A squid suddenly wrapped itself around him and he began turning blue. I yelled at my old friend to grab him, but she said that it was the prophesy that they had received. I grabbed him out and pried the squid off of him, and I gave him mouth to mouth and brought him back to life. The family turned on me because I had disobeyed "God's will". That was when I woke up.
