Shark

To see a shark in your dream, represents a person whom you see as greedy and unscrupulous. This person goes after what he or she wants with no regards to the well-being and sensitivity of others.

To see a shark pursuing and attacking you, denotes you will have an unavoidable reversal of fortune that will sink you into depression.

To see them sporting in clear water, foretells that while you are basking in the sunshine of women and prosperity, jealousy is secretly, but surely, working you towards an unhappy future and fortune.

To see a dead one, denotes reconciliation and renewed prosperity.

The shark may also be an aspect of your own personality which exhibits these qualities.

Alternatively, you may be going through a difficult, painful, or unpleasant emotional period.

The shark symbolizes feelings of anger, hostility, and fierceness. You may be an emotional threat to yourself or to others.
