Dream Interpretation | If a reptile attacks you in a dream, there will be trouble of a serious nature ahead for you. If you succeed in killing it, you will finally overcome obstacles. To see a dead reptile come to life, denotes that disputes and disagreements, which were thought to be settled, will be renewed and pushed with bitter animosity. To handle them without harm to yourself, foretells that you will be oppressed by the ill humor and bitterness of friends, but you will succeed in restoring pleasant relations. For a young woman to see various kinds of reptiles, she will have many conflicting troubles. Her lover will develop fancies for others. If she is bitten by any of them, she will be superseded by a rival. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

Reptiles (traditional classification) Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Orders Order Crocodilia (Crocodilians)
Order Rhynchocephalia (Tuataras)
Order Squamata
Suborder Sauria (Lizards)
Suborder Serpentes (Snakes)
Order Testudines (Turtles and their kin)
The reptiles are a group of vertebrate animals, today represented with four orders:
Reptiles are found on all continents except in Antarctica, although their main distribution comprises the tropics and subtropics. Reptiles don't have a constant body temperature. They are only able to a limited extend to actively regulate their body temperature, which is largely dependent on the environmental temperature. Most reptile species are carnivorous and egg-laying. Some species are ovoviviparous, and a few species are truly viviparous.
- Order Testudines (turtles): approximately 300 species
- Order Rhynchocephalia (tuataras from New Zealand): 2 species
- Order Squamata (lizards and snakes): approximately 7,600 species
- Order Crocodilia (crocodilians: crocodiles and alligators): 23 species
Classification of reptiles
Reptiles include all the amniotes except birds and mammals. Traditionally, they were grouped together in the class Reptilia, as biologists had observed common features among them. However, in recent years biologists have tendended to emphasize that groups should be monophyletic, i.e. include all descendants of a particular form. Since birds originated from a particular group of reptiles, members of that group (including Crocodilia) are closer related to them than to other reptiles. Similarly certain extinct forms are closer to mammals than to any extant reptiles. As such, the Reptilia are a paraphyletic group.Newer systems abandon or alter the composition of the Reptilia. The synapsids, comprising mammals and their close relatives, are typically excluded. If the other amniotes are all closer related to each other than to the synapsids, as is currently expected, than they form a monophyletic group, which is called the Reptilia or Sauropsida. However, it should be noted that this group includes birds.
Evolution of the reptiles
Several thousand fossil species showing a clear smooth transition from the ancestors of reptiles to present-day reptiles exist.In addition the transition from synapsid reptiles to mammals is one of the best detailed transitions, with in many cases the lineage being traced down to the genus level, from paleothyris to climolestes. One offshoot branch is still alive today (monotremata).

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The neutrality of this article is disputed. The factual accuracy of this article is disputedReptilian humanoids are a recurring theme in mythology, fiction, especially science fiction, fringe theories, and conspiracy theories. They are described as individuals or races of intelligent or otherwise highly developed reptilian-like beings. They are also often called reptiloids or dinosauroids. In some cases, belief in them has resulted from mental illness. They also appear in some (but not most) New Age ideas.
No theory that such creatures actually exist or have ever existed has been generally accepted by science, and they are usually relegated to fringe science or pseudoscience. Despite this, there are various theories which have been offered on their nature, and which give possible explanations as to whether they exist (and if so what evidence supports their existence), where they came from, what their intentions are (in general), and so on.
Ancient references to reptiles and serpents
Several ancient peoples the world over described reptilian beings. There are myths about reptiloids devouring human children, and also tales of Serpents of Wisdom enlightening Humankind (such as the story of Gukumatz).
Pythagoras' life was filled with synchronicities regarding serpents, particularly winged and speaking serpents, as well as a massive beast called Python, a giant serpent for which he may have been named. Interestingly, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson and Philip K. Dick all have called themselves Pythagoreans. However, Wilson is known for stating (often half-seriously) various forms of conspiracy theory, and Dick's possible mental illness is covered in more detail below.
Modern claims
David Icke and others claim that many people see reptilian humanoids or dinosauroids, and that beings of this species are the force behind a worldwide conspiracy directed at the manipulation and control of Humankind; like most conspiracy theories, the negation of this hypothesis is nearly impossible to prove.
Icke claims that this hypothetical dinosauroid resembles one type of reptilian entity that many people see during alleged encounters. He theorises that perhaps the reptilians evolved on this planet from dinosaurs or other such reptilian or reptile-like ancestors, and were the original tool-making race to evolve on Earth. He regards this as only one of many theories, however, and has others regarding where the reptilians came from.
Paul Shockley, a self-professed psychic, also speaks of malevolent reptilian beings. However, both explain that they do not believe that all reptilians are malevolent, and that there are benevolent members of this species as well. Just as the majority of humans treat animals like an expendable resource, but a minority believes that they deserve rights, and should not be treated the way they currently are (kept on farms and often killed for food).
The science fiction writer Philip K. Dick spoke of contact with three-eyed amphibious beings from Sirius, as well as their connection to the Soviets and the Illuminati. This was detailed in VALIS. He related them to the Nommo of the Dogon people of Africa. Many people consider that Dick was suffering from psychosis or bipolar disorder at the time he reported these experiences, and he is known to have had psychotic symptoms, in fact much of his science fiction was actually rooted in his perceived actual experiences; see his article for more details.
Zecharia Sitchin, an archaeologist and linguist specialising in the Sumerian and Hebrew languages, claims that an ancient race of extraterrestrials, the Anunnaki, genetically engineered the original humans, and that they probably still exist in some form or another, with some degree of influence over humankind. These beings are speculated by Sitchin to be either reptilian, quasi-reptilian, or amphibious, from ancient description.
Erich von Däniken theorises that extraterrestrials have influenced human history for millennia, and that they may have influenced human evolution.
Robert Anton Wilson speaks of the Illuminati in half-serious tone. In the book Cosmic Trigger: The Final Secret of the Illuminati he describes his drug-induced experiences with three-eyed beings from Sirius.
Timothy Leary claimed contact with three-eyed beings from Sirius.
The Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa claims that the Zulu people have known of a reptilian species for centuries. He is the official historian of the Zulu people. He mentions amphibious beings from Sirius in his book, Song of the Stars.
Conspiracy theories
There are many conspiracy theories centered around, or at least involving, extraterrestrials of reptilian lineage. Many of these posit that the so-called Greys (fictional creatures from another planet in the 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind, since adopted as the archetypal extraterrestrial) are in fact reptiles, and should be categorized as "Reptoids".
Some conspiracy theorists claim to have worked out a "dichotomy of axes" involved in hypothetical interplanetary and intergalactic conflict, and place the reptilians in an evil "Draconian" "axis," while humans are one of the species that belongs in an opposing "Evadamic" "axis." Several other entities and parties have been placed into this conspiracy theory, with some players who switch allegiances between Draconian and Evadamic.
None of these "theories" have ever been validated by any scientifically credible research.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | TORTOISE, n. A creature thoughtfully created to supply occasion for the following lines by the illustrious Ambat Delaso: TO MY PET TORTOISE My friend, you are not graceful -- not at all; Your gait's between a stagger and a sprawl. Nor are you beautiful: your head's a snake's To look at, and I do not doubt it aches. As to your feet, they'd make an angel weep. 'Tis true you take them in whene'er you sleep. No, you're not pretty, but you have, I own, A certain firmness -- mostly you're [sic] backbone. Firmness and strength (you have a giant's thews) Are virtues that the great know how to use -- I wish that they did not; yet, on the whole, You lack -- excuse my mentioning it -- Soul. So, to be candid, unreserved and true, I'd rather you were I than I were you. Perhaps, however, in a time to be, When Man's extinct, a better world may see Your progeny in power and control, Due to the genesis and growth of Soul. So I salute you as a reptile grand Predestined to regenerate the land. Father of Possibilities, O deign To accept the homage of a dying reign! In the far region of the unforeknown I dream a tortoise upon every throne. I see an Emperor his head withdraw Into his carapace for fear of Law; A King who carries something else than fat, Howe'er acceptably he carries that; A President not strenuously bent On punishment of audible dissent -- Who never shot (it were a vain attack) An armed or unarmed tortoise in the back; Subject and citizens that feel no need To make the March of Mind a wild stampede; All progress slow, contemplative, sedate, And "Take your time" the word, in Church and State. O Tortoise, 'tis a happy, happy dream, My glorious testudinous regime! I wish in Eden you'd brought this about By slouching in and chasing Adam out. |
