Thank you, it did seem to have a sense of intelligence, and I did call it a Salamander in my dream but, salamanders don't usually look like what I saw exactly. And it was more instincts when I wanted to save whatever it was. I was scared of it, but I for some reason felt like it didn't have any intentions to harm me.
I think some representations of this could be purely psychological.
Goats are easier to heard than chickens. I don't know if you have any experience or what kind of knowledge you may have of either animal, but this may well have contributed to the transformation in the dream.
After the goat fell in, your subconscious believed it was gone, but your short term memory and subconscious took note of its absence. Cue the farmers whose sudden inclusion into the dream was to bring attention to where the goat went.
This inspired your mind to explore the possibilities of the hole. You remembered the goat should not have simply vanished, thus you heard its bleating.
The expression of panic and uncertainty could easily be expressed in the field's transformation into mud. You've lost control of the situation. Things are difficult. You are desperate to find the goat, obviously just fallen into some hole in the ground, in which who knows what exists.
Your hippocampus is going wild. It is accessing memories. What sorts of creatures live under ground? What are predatory animals that live under ground? What could kill a goat? What does it conjure, but a lizard. And why not poisonous? That makes it all the more sinister, and a sensible reason for the goat to have been in greater distress.
Then again, it could be more. That is not for me to decide.
what did you feel [ describe your emotions] when you saw the lizard? The things you saw somehow you subconsciously know what it means. Think about the emotions you felt and every move made by the creature. Could you feel it? Did you feel there is something...try to figure it out. Remember only YOU can decipher it!
Hmm.. Thats hard to say exactly what Creature/Animal it was. It could literally be anything, or even just something your mind created itself. Now that you talk about it though, i once remember dreaming of a black and red lizard a few years ago, and i didnt know what the heck it was! It sort of looked like a Gecko to me. I can do some research and see if i can find anything to help you.
It is reminding you that you have hidden gifts and that it is your responsibility to use these gifts for your own well being. We have an innate ability to recognize danger and can remove ourselves from harm’s when the situation calls for it.

Maybe this might help a little?
I did some researching and a lizard called a "Red Head" showed up. Maybe have a look at a picture of it?
IT sound like a Devil with the power of transformation that takes the form of a venomus serpent. There are many devils with the power of transformation such as I think Vapas is one
It seems more like a dream to be analyzed with Jungian-brand psychology because the goat clearly seems like it could be a symbol or metaphor for something....
