Sharks usually represent negative dreams in dream books. We rarely dream of them, so if we have heard, read about sharks or seen them on TV, then these dreams shouldn’t be interpreted.
Seeing a shark in a dream
To see a shark in a dream is a warning that you are in danger. You have been feeling lost and unprotected lately. You are insecure regarding everything you start to do.
Other people can see it too, so someone who wants to take advantage of your weakness will show up.
Even though you are aware that you are an easy target for scams, it is possible that you will fall into a trap anyway.
People from your surroundings are warning you to be careful, but your desire for intimacy always leads you into trouble.
When you dream of a shark in the sea it means that you will have a fight with someone close to you. Your honesty will cost you a lot. It is possible that you will tell them something they don’t want to hear. You believe that even the worst truth is better than lies.
Your loved one will misunderstand you and see your worry as an act out of jealousy. That will hurt you a lot, but you will be comforted by the fact that your consciousness is clean and your intentions fair.
To run away from a shark
Running away from a shark in a dream symbolizes reconciliation. You probably had an argument with someone who was important to you before.
With time you will realize that the reason for your fight is meaningless, so your desire for reconciliation will be stronger. You will not be sure how to act in a new situation, but you will be relieved when you get back with that person.
Dreaming of a shark on the land
When you dream of a shark on the land it means that everything will go according to your plans. Everything you imagine in the following period will come true.
It will seem like you have the magic wand for making wishes come true. It is possible that you will be successful in your search for a new job, or that your relationship will be like you’ve imagined.
Dreaming of being attacked by a shark
This type of dream is interpreted according to the context and situation you were in when a shark attacked you. Have you been close to the shore or on the open sea?
This dream can symbolize some unexpected accidents or dangers in your everyday life. If you have dreamed of being attacked by a shark while you were fishing that can symbolize an incident on your job.
Although sharks usually represent negative dreams some can be positive. Such dreams are: seeing sharks teeth, killing a shark or seeing shark in an aquarium tank.
The dream is interpreted differently whether you have been expecting a shark attack or you were surprised by it. If you were ready for an attack, it means that you will enter some risky businesses, but if you were surprised, it means that you will find out something that will shock you.
If you dream of being surrounded by multiple sharks on the open sea, it means that you are cornered in real life and you can’t see the way out of the situation.
That makes you feel helpless and stressed out. It can be related to school, college or work where you have issues with professors, colleagues or associates.
Dreaming of multiple sharks
If you dream of multiple sharks that are swimming toward you, it is possible that you will experience some accident that will ruin your reputation.
You will not be able to prevent it, but you can minimize the effect it will leave on your mental health. Make peace with it and move on.
A hard-earned reputation is easy to destroy, but you know that you have people who respect you and you need to keep that on your mind all the time.
Dreaming of being bitten by a shark
Interpretations of this dream depend on which part of your body is bitten by a shark. If it is a leg, you need to check your health out. You have been postponing going to the doctor for a very long time.
There is no reason for panic, but better to be safe than sorry. Be more physically active in your everyday life and your mind and body will be thankful to you.
If you were bitten by the hand or arm, it means that your enemies are lurking for you at work.
It is possible that your colleagues are scheming something against you, and they are trying to make you look bad in front of your superiors so that they could take over your position.
You are probably not in this situation for the first time. You know that you can’t stop them, but your hard work speaks for itself.
Dreaming of being eaten by a shark
Dreams in which you are eaten by a shark symbolize your helplessness to get out of the situation you are in now. In order to solve it you need to be creative.
Don’t let feelings control you and turn on your reason. If you think that you can’t do it on your own, don’t be afraid to ask for help from friends. You must have someone you trust.
To survive a shark attack
If you dream of fighting with a shark and managing to overpower it and survive, it means that you will be able to fight off worries that are bothering you in real life as well. You are currently in a tough situation, but the end of agony is near.
Try to learn something from it, because it will help you in the future.
To see a shark attack
