[Zero Sum 305]

Lately I've been parachuting with scuba gear into the ocean with my brother. As I free myself of my chute, I notice a barracuda waiting to lunge at me. Sometimes its a shark, or a prehistoric-looking fish with big teeth. As they move towards me, I awake.

Any experts here that can decipher this?

Skydiving

To dream that you are skydiving, represents your high ideals. Sometimes you need to compromise your ideals and be more realistic of your expectations.

Shark To see a shark in your dream, 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. The shark may also be an aspect of your own personality with these qualities.

Scuba Diving

To dream that you are scuba diving, represents your desire to delve deep in to your unconscious. You are ready to confront your base feelings and explore your repressed thoughts. Alternatively, the dream indicates that you are trying to get to the bottom of a current situation or the root of your problems or feelings.

Parachute

To dream that you are in a parachute, represents a protective force over you. You have a sense of security. Alternatively, the dream implies that it is time to bail out of a situation or abandon an old idea or habit.

To dream that you have difficulties with a parachute or that the parachute does not open, suggests that you are let down by someone you relied on and trusted. You feel abandoned.

Ocean

To see an ocean in your dream, represents the state of your emotions and feelings. It is indicative of spiritual refreshment, tranquility and renewal. Alternatively, the dream means that you are feeling empowered and unhindered. You have a positive outlook in life and are not limited by anything. If you are sailing across the ocean, then it signifies new found freedom and independence. You are showing great courage. If the ocean is rough, then the dream represents some emotional turmoil. You are doing your best to handle life's ups and downs.

Fish

To see fish swimming in your dream, signifies insights from your unconscious mind. Thus to catch a fish, represents insights which have been brought to the surface. Alternatively, a fish swimming in your dream may symbolize conception. Some women dream of swimming fish when they get pregnant. The fish is also an ancient symbol of Christianity and Christian beliefs. Consider the common phrases "like a cold fish", "fish out of water" or something that is "fishy" about a situation. It may also imply a slippery or elusive situation. Perhaps your dream could be telling you that "there are plenty of other fish in the sea", with regards to some relationship issue.

Brother

To see your brother in your dream, symbolizes some aspect of your relationship with him. It can also serve to remind you that someone in your waking life has certain characteristics or behaviors similar to your brother.

If you do not have a brother and dream that you have one, then he may symbolize characteristics that you need to acknowledge within yourself. The brother in your dream can also be synonymous with a close friend or buddy. Brother also has religious implications and thus represents spiritual issues. Consider also the familiar phrase "big brother is watching you" which indicate that your dream has to deal with issues of authority and oppression.

To dream that you are mad or angry at your brother, signifies repressed anger that you are feeling but afraid to express in your waking life.

It means don't parachute or scuba dive anytime in the near future. You've been warned.

It's too bad you wake up before you find out what happens. IMO your brother being with you is not insignificant. Does he throw you to the sharks to save himself, or do you?

Is it a recurring dream?

recurring dreams (dreammoods)

Most dreams contain messages that serve to teach you something about yourself. However, soon after you wake up to go about your daily routine, you tend to quickly forget what you dream about. The message in recurring dreams may be so important and/or powerful that it refuses to go away. The frequent repetition of such dreams forces you to pay attention and confront the dream. It is desperately trying to tell you something. Such dreams are often nightmarish or frightening in their content, which also helps you to take notice and pay attention to them.

Recurring dreams are quite common and are often triggered by a certain life situation, transitional phase in life or a problem that keeps coming back again and again. These dreams may recur daily, once a week, or once a month. Whatever the frequency, there is little variation in the dream content itself. Such dreams may be highlighting a personal weakness, fear, or your inability to cope with something in your life - past or present.

The repetitive patterns in your dream reveal some of the most valuable information about yourself. It may point to a conflict, situation or matter in your waking life that remains unresolved or unsettled. Some urgent underlying message in your unconscious is demanding to be understood.

Dream Doctor:

Recurring dreams reflect feelings and awarenesses that have not been successfully resolved in our waking lives.Unresolved feelings often include the sudden loss of a loved one or an abrupt end to a romantic relationship! We wish the situation could have ended differently, so we tend to replay it in our minds.

Sometimes what may appear to be a recurring dream is actually not a dream at all but a symptom of a sleep disorder such as a night terror or confusional arousal.

I never remember dreams when I wake up. I guess my mind has no messages to send me.

[Zero Sum 305]

I think my subconscious is trying to save my little brother from the perils of his upcoming wedding. Will this spill over into real life? Will I be forced to do battle with a She-Shark or a She-Barracuda?

You are lucky to have imaginative dreams... the only dreams I remember are about work. I'm working, working, working, in a rush to get more work done. I wake up, realize that I am at home and was asleep, and I feel the urge to go to work to get things done! Sad to say I go in to work an hour early every day.

Maybe it is inspiration to start a new adventure tour business!

Skydiving into the Caribbean in full scuba gear sounds pretty exciting & I don't think it has been done.

(Just kidding)
