Sharks in a tank

Two hammerhead sharks sleeping, facing same direction, in an observation tank of some kind. There were two other people in the room that worked at this place. I was impressed by the beauty and strength of these creatures. I opened the door to the tank but the water didn't come out. One of the sharks woke up. Tried to come out of the tank where I was. I closed the door to prevent that. The second shark woke up and now the two of them were pushing against the door to get out.

Seeing sharks in your dream means you are going to meet powerful enemies in the real world. They could be your bosses, well-connected rivals or persons of authority.

A tempting situation will push you to commit a risky action which will ruffle the feathers of powerful personalities. Perhaps you disagree with their policies, so you voice out your concerns in open defiance. It is also possible that you manage to challenge them without being thoroughly prepared. This dream vision serves as a warning that your actions have serious consequences. This also gives you time to evaluate your decisions and think of smarter ways to tackle your problems. There could be a diplomatic way of asserting your position without earning their ire. Alternatively, sharks can also represent your own volatile nature. Your short temper and fiery personality could threaten your relationships in reality. Your personal demons and inability to control your emotions could send you down a dark path and endanger the people closest to you.

Shark up close

Seeing a shark up close in your dreams could be a symbol that means your significant other may be trying to take advantage of you by forcing his or her control over you or by being too possessive, manipulative, or violent while trying to overpower you.

Because your life partner is trying to seize every opportunity to control or overpower you, it leads to an unbalanced and one-sided relationship. It is recommended that you try to talk to your partner about these problems you are facing so that some solution can be achieved. If this important step is not taken in the correct timing in the relationship, then expect the relationship to go sour or even detrimental and affect your mental state by bringing unnecessary turmoil into your life.

Sharks in the ocean

To see sharks swimming in the ocean points to blissful ignorance. You are probably living in a bubble with no idea about the injustices in your own community or dark secrets about your family. Soon enough this personal bubble will burst because you will be confronted with an act of injustice close to home. A family member or relative may become a victim of public persecution and character assassination. This imagery is also an indication of disillusionment after discovering that someone you trust is not as innocent as they seem.

A shark attacking another shark

I was on a balcony with my a family member when I saw a blue shark being eaten by a silver shark twice its size. The bigger shark chased it to the shore where it ripped one of the fins, then started to bite it in the head. It circled around and slammed it to the shore then swallowed the shark whole. Then it stuck its head out of the water where my family member pet was. I was not scared, just concerned about that person falling in the water.

The sharks in the ocean waters below, however, reveal that slipping off to La La Land during the wrong moment could get you into hot water. You may be either willfully or truthfully unaware of the issues around you. But not knowing the truth of what is going on around you would be no excuse when the problem comes to a head.

Seeing shark fins while on a pier

I dreamt that I was standing on a pier behind my house that viewed the ocean, and thousands and thousands of dirty, old and ruined shark fins were sticking out from the water.

Envisioning yourself standing on a pier looking out onto the ocean predicts opportunities that are just beyond your reach. They are the type of opportunities that only come around once in a lifetime, so it would be wise to take advantage of them while they exist. However, you should be cautious about which opportunities you choose to take advantage of as shark fins in water could reveal the presence of someone who is trying to deceive you and thus far is succeeding. Your gullibility may become your major downfall if you are not careful.

A gang of small sharks

After hours of him terrorizing me and the girl, I finally got up and threw him into a wall, smashing him. I was suddenly really worried about the guy and went to go see him. He was lifeless by the time I saw him, with a shark bite in his abdomen.

Sleeping over in a big home symbolically represents your intention to take on a new project. This could range from an upcoming work-related activity or something more personal. In either case, however, the robot shark which follows and terrorizes you and your friend suggests that enemies are waiting for you to make a mistake. It is likely they are powerless on their own, but could gain momentum for their evil work by taking advantage of any misfortune you experience. Your sudden urge to see the guy and his untimely demise could point toward having to make a decision which would save you, but also greatly damage your enemies. You may feel some regret for having to act this way, but it may be completely necessary to protect your interests.

A shark in the swimming pool

When I was little, I used to dream about my family and me swimming in my grandad's pool and then being eaten by a shark, and I would be the only one left.

It could be working against your peaceful everyday life or anything that may be otherwise considered a source of happiness. Fortunately, swimming is a positive sign which conveys you have reliable and trustworthy friends who always offer help and support whenever you need and ask for it. It would be wise to rely on these friends during difficult times because you seem to be the type of person who is frightened to be left on your own.

Getting younger and a shark tank

Female. I lived in a house with a lot of people, and my friend and I walked up the stairs with my friend Natalie, and the further you walked up the stairs the younger we got.

Then, my brother got a huge glass shark tank with a big fish in it and I was very scared the glass would break. Then, the police came and the glass broke and we all ran away as the water gushed down.

Getting younger as you are climbing the stairs refers to a better lifestyle because of your excellent decisions and exemplary work ethics. You are getting the success you deserve. Meanwhile, the big fish represents the big impact you are going to make in this world and that is a daunting thing to wrap your head around. That also entails a lot of responsibility. So, the fear that the tank would break reveals your own fears about failing to meet other people's expectations. There will be disappointments, you cannot always be on top, but what the dream is telling you is that you have to be prepared. After all the sheen of the accolades fades, you can still rely on your skills and your wealth of experience.
