When one accesses self induced Trance or Lucid Dreams one becomes ‘Amphibious’ of Consciousness for the Quantum Dreaming realm is often perceived by Shamanic practitioners as being associated with ‘Water’ while ones waking world is that of ‘Land,’ whereby as an Adept of Trance & Dreaming one is Amphibious of awareness hence a ‘Crocodile;’ other cultures across the globe whose orientation is Shamanic often equate Amphibious creatures with their Shamans to symbolise as Reptiles & Amphibians such as Snakes, Serpents, Frogs, Toads, Amphibious Fish, let alone that of Dragons.


For example, in the land of the Chinese Dragon one had the ancient symbol of the 'Snake & Tortoise,' that symbolised a Shaman whose understanding led to the Martial arts of Wu-Shu, which essentially means 'Snake & Tortoise.'


The symbol of an Amphibian has a physiological correlate with ones Reptilian-Brain-Stem, which controls ones very Awareness & depths of Dream-states as well as Trance ingress let alone ones Survival Adaptability. The Amphibian is also associated with ones Pineal-Gland, situated near the back of ones head amidst the Mammalian Cerebellum Hemispheres just above ones Reptilian Brain-Stem, which is often referred to as the, 'Third-Eye,' which in fact it is, for the Pineal-Gland is the vestigial eye of ones ‘Amphibious’ forebears of most ancient ancestors to have first walked the Land out of the Waters whom eventually evolved into Dinosaurs; one of the very few Dinosaurs, which to have survived virtually unchanged to the present day is the Crocodile.


The Dogon of Africa called their Amphibious ancestor & culture Hero Nommo whom is possibly the same as the Babylonian Oannes; they are described as living in the 'Water' as well as upon 'Land' & to be terrifying to look upon. When a Shaman who is Amphibious of awareness accesses Trance, the Shaman is terrifying to look upon for they often go into shaking fits, near uncontrollable frenzies or to fall into a stupor looking as if they are dead; Nommo & Onnes refer to Shaman Adepts whose symbol was that of an amphibious Fish, while elsewhere their symbol was that of the Snake, Tortoise, Serpent, Frog, Toad, Lizard, Reptile, Dragon or Crocodile.
