To see a shark in your dream, represents a person whom you see as greedy and unscrupulous. This person goes after what what he or she wants with no regards to the well-being and sensitivity of others. The shark may also be an aspect of your own personality which exhibit 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.

Just let us know when the shark dreams come around, OK? *smile*

What if you jump the shark?

Oh, Ruthy, do mine, do mine!

I have the "I'm sitting in the back of the classroom naked" dream. The bell rings, and everyone heads out of the class without ever noticing me. What does that one mean?

My recurring shark dream started when I was doing some meditation early in my martial arts training. I was meditating when for some reason I got it in my head to try to confront and overcome my greatest fear (which was a bad idea, but I was about 12-13 at the time and a little rash). So as I was sitting there in the dark with my eyes closed, I visualized my greatest fear symbolized in the form of a giant Great White. I managed to achieve a degree of visualization I have rarely been able to equal since then, in which I completely lost awareness of my physical surroundings and was totally immersed in my imagination, like I was dreaming while awake. I felt myself suspended in the water, like I was in a shark cage, but there was no cage, just me. It came closer and closer, until its mouth opened. . .Just before its jaws snapped shut, I snapped out of it and opened my eyes. Ever since then I periodically have shark nightmares. They were worst in a few particularly stressful periods of my life. I don't get them much these days, but every so often I'll have one.
