An interpretation of shark dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Dreaming about sharks can be a sign to watch your back. People can be like sharks—predatory, stealthy, relentless—and swimming with sharks is inherently dangerous. Someone could be out to get you, or you have a general sense to be wary. For example, women who mistrust men and their intentions can dream about men in general as a pack of sharks, and about specific men as sharks. A shark can symbolize something you fear. See: Fear A shark can symbolize a person or situation that can turn on you at any moment. It can symbolize wild or predatory instincts, such as an instinct to attack or to take advantage of weakness. It can symbolize taking advantage of misfortune or trust. It can symbolize dangerous emotions. Water is associated with emotion, and sharks are dangerous. See: Water A shark can symbolize something dangerous lurking below the threshold of your awareness. See: Subconscious “Shark” is used to describe a person who is almost unbeatable at card games or billiards, or at any game or competition. The word is used on Wall Street to describe its top players, and used to describe lawyers. The association is derived from sharks’ being merciless predators. Sharks in a frenzy can symbolize something that drives people wild, or hysteria. Sharks are unpredictable, and people can be unpredictable, too, especially when gathered in packs or groups. Sharks prey on weakness and smell blood in the water. Does that describe someone you know, or characterize a situation you’re in or something you’ve observed?
