Thuban (α Dra, α Draconis, Alpha Draconis) is a star (or star system) in the constellation of Draco. A relatively inconspicuous star in the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere, it is historically significant as having been the north pole star in ancient times. ~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Draconis

When I was a kid I had recurring dreams about an alligator man. This was before the 1980′s TV series V mind you. But it was a vivid and scary dream for me. The alligator man had the body of an alligator with human arms and half human legs with a fully human head of a nerdy guy with glasses. He wasn’t friendly however.

I’d usually see him in the dream before he saw me, but as I looked at him he would suddenly turn and look right into my eyes and begin to chase me. I always ran. Sometimes I was able to fly very slowly by flapping my arms. It was a tortuous half-escape that always ended with me waking up just before getting caught.
