What are shark dreams about?

In this dream I was a journalist. My co-writer and I had taken a little rowing boat out to the middle of the ocean in the hopes of locating 69 to interview him about this momentous decision. I held the map while my associate rowed, and with a bit of luck, we were right above him. I expressed my doubts about the whole thing being too risky and stupid. They geared up in scuba wear, assured me that the story was too good to pass up and jumped into the sea.

I was seeing through their eyes now. The water was extremely murky and a sandy brown colour. They pressed on for some time. From on the boat, I was starting to get worried until finally, 69’s shadowy figure came into view. My associate lowered a mic down to him and motioned for him to speak.

He was sitting cross legged on the sea floor like the Buddha. It was quite serene; various sharks and fish had collected around him as if to accept 69 as a new aquatic lifeform. There was a small - small enough for a child - canister of oxygen to his right which he took infrequent puffs of, like a Shisha. 69 hadn’t taken a proper breath of air in two months.

He stressed to us that meditation was the key and that he was a changed man. Frustratingly, I can’t remember any more of what he said, but it made international headlines. There were no laws covering underwater detainment so they just left him.

I had this dream a few weeks ago and I have no idea why it’s stuck with me.

hi guys, long time lurker first time poster. I had a nightmare last night that I was in my living room and the ocean literally came up to meet me at my windows. I was sitting there, watching tv with my wife, when I noticed that waves were creeping up towards my sliding glass window. I started to panic...mostly worried about my floors. I yelled at my wife, what do we do?! I quickly got up and shut and lock the window as a wave hit the screen and poured into the house. I sat back down and tried to relax. I looked over and I saw that the water was well over my windows and I could see two sharks getting closer. They kept snapping and biting at the glass as I cried. I felt very anxious and scared through the entire dream and woke feeling extra groggy.
any ideas?

Does anyone know what this could mean? I don’t live near the sea. When I was a kid we would go on family holidays to Cornwall (place near the sea in the UK) every year and spent all our time there at the beach, swimming in the sea etc. It was a big part of my childhood but this was only for about two weeks every year.

No matter what my dream is, the sea features. Sometimes it’s neutral, for example the sea is just there in the background while the dream takes place in a seaside town. Sometimes it’s bad, for example I’m on the beach and a tsunami comes / huge dangerous waves get closer and closer and I have to run away, sometimes I’m swept into them but still manage to escape. Sometimes they’re just strange, for example I had one where me and my family had a pet shark and we rode on his back through the entire ocean.

Does anyone have any idea what this could mean??!? It’s been bugging me for ages now - WHY am I dreaming about the sea every night?

Had a dream that I was working for some hotel, but had to work out of one of the employee housing rooms. It was already filled with a collection of past employees items. I wound up being unable to leave so I just kept working. There was a shark in the pool, a monster in the maintenance garage, and you had to go through other employee housing rooms to get to your room. Employees were just supposed to keep working as people were being eaten and never mention these things to the hotel guests.

I had this dream a few nights ago and I've been thinking about it since. I even tried to recreate it in an image editing program. I can't figure out why I feel like this dream is so important.

I'm in a huge old house, in one of the rooms on the top floor. This room has these big windows lining the wall that start at the waist and extend up to the ceiling. The rain smacks against the window. I'm looking out into the ocean, which is a little less than 100 yards away. This is apparently a beach house. It's the middle of the night outside, and an intense storm is raging. I can feel the thunder in my chest when it pounds. When the lightning zaps the entire sky is filled with light and I can see the lumpy bottoms of clouds, and the sea below. The water is dark, almost black, but when the lightning strikes its shown to be this murky green color. Despite all of this, I'm not afraid. I feel calm. It's beautiful. I watch the ocean rage.

A giant wave forms. It seems to be travelling towards the house, but never quite reaches it. The wave reaches up almost as high as I can see, filling up my field of vision and leaving only a thin bar of stormy sky above it. Its like a wall. The lightning flashes again and the wave is lit up for a split second, and I see the blurred silhouette of a giant whale swimming across, several hundred feet in the air, suspended in the wave. This whole thing looks almost exactly like [this](https://youtu.be/CRUZZLhY5eo?t=132) scene from The Prince of Egypt movie. The lightning continues to flash every few seconds, and I watch the beast slowly make its way across the wave. The silhouette has the general shape of a sperm whale, but it also has a large dorsal fin, and a few times it nears the crest of the wave, breaking the surface of the water, shrouded in mist and spray, its fin jutting out akin to a shark. From the small glimpses I catch, the whale is jet black. At most its nose begins to breach once or twice before it re-submerges and continues to swim, only visible due to intermittent flashes of lightning.

None of this is scary. I don't feel helpless or anxious. The wave never hits the house. It just looms. Watching the whale fills me with tranquility.

What y'all think?
