I saw a shark in my dream and what it meant

Last night I dreamed that I was eating a pint of ice cream and when I got half way through there was a head of a tiny shark inside the container. It looked like it had been in the container for a while, the skin was soft and greenish-white in color; it looked like it had been preserved in formaldehyde. I was in an enormous auditorium filled with high school classmates. I remember remarking to one of them about how horrible it was that the Häagen-Dazs factory would make such a terrible mistake. And I felt that no one in the auditorium cared about the complete injustice I received.

According to DreamMoods.com, seeing a shark in a dram ” indicates feelings of anger, hostility, and fierceness. You are undergoing a long and difficult emotional period and may be an emotional threat to yourself or to others. Perhaps, you are struggling with your individuality and independence, especially in some aspect of your relationship. Alternatively, a shark represents a person in your life who is greedy and unscrupulous. This person goes after what he or she wants with no regards to the well-being and sensitivity of others…”

I was bit by a dog a few days ago. It was my landlord’s 15 year old daughter’s white terrier. A very small but extremely vicious, untrained dog. It has a barking problem when anyone comes in or out of the building, I can see the dog through a glass door, flashing its white teeth. On Friday, it got out. It ran over and bit my thigh. I was wearing thick jeans so it did not break the sin. But the bruise became dark purple and huge–it became about 9 square inches on my leg. My landlord didn’t seem to care that it was her daughter that let the dog out. If I were her,  I would make her daughter apologize in person to me. It’s not cool to cause someone to have a huge bruise and not do anything about it. I could have called animal control but I didn’t; and I actually know this is not the first time the dog has bit someone.

So perhaps my dream is not about a person being hostile, it is about a dog and an owner that is unscrupulous? In real life, I didn’t do anything assertive about the dog bite because I didn’t want anything to happen to the 15 year old’s dog. But she didn’t care about what happened to me; why did I care about her?

  1. Dr. Rupaul Jung says:

    Perhaps its deeper then that. Perhaps you are trying to blame others for your love of sharks. It would seem to any Doctor of the head (which I am one) that you are clearly in love with sharks and want to be with one physically. Don’t fret, many young women dream of having sex with Dolphins if you have ever had that dream you probably fit the bill. This time will pass and your desire to sleep with a shark will pass. There are many Dolphin sex camps in the third world countries as well that you can look into. I have attached a url for your use, http://www.sexwithdolphins.com.
