Dream (Riding a shark)
Haven't shared a dream in a while but this one seems so interesting I wanted to share with the world. As a backdrop to help understand it I've been looking for a new job for a while now. One of the recruiting agencies that contacted me has, in my opinion, been railroading me toward jobs that I don't find particularly interesting. By railroading I mean not as sensitive or interested in my wants and instead he seems interested in guiding my choices rather than the other way around. Before I went to bed I found a job online that seemed absolutely perfect and really excited me. I sent the contact my resume along with a note (cover letter) explaining why I wanted the job. Because I wanted the job so much and felt so confident it was for me that got reflected in how I composed the email. I also felt more in control of my job search, like I was realizing I'm in charge instead of the recruiter. So without further ado here's the dream.
I was riding on the back of a shark. Not standing up, but my body flat against it. I didn't have any fear riding it, in fact I felt very confident. I felt a sense of power throughout the entire dream, one of strong confidence. The shark and I didn't seem to have any destination in mind. It actually seemed to be going where it wanted to go and I was just riding it. At some point I took out a knife and carved slits into its skin and one long slit lengthwise along the top of it. Blood didn't pour or gush out of it though, the wounds were just red to indicate blood was there. As we rode further I could hear a female voice. I watched the lengthwise slit I made close by itself and the voice said that the skin was still weak and could be easily punctured by practically anything. The shark made a sharp left turn and it flung me from its back into the water. The shark continued swimming and swam away. Although I was not afraid of it coming back to bite/eat me I knew the nature of the shark was what it was and so I hurried to get out of the water. The shark had flung me next to a building so swam to it.
The scene changed and I think I was inside the building. I seemed to be the owner of the building and in fact an enterprise. There was a boardroom meeting being held consisting of four nude women and myself. The room itself had a lot blue because there were no walls only large windows so the ocean was visible everywhere in the room. My vantage point was above the boardroom desk so that I could see all of this, even though me as a person was at the desk. I eventually got up and went over to a large pool. I was naked, and had been the entire dream, but it only became apparent now because a woman come to perform fellatio on me. I was only partially in the pool, still on the steps, while she was fully in it. From my vantage point the pool was semi-circular with one end against the windows, the other end had the boardroom desk placed vertically in front of it giving the entire structure a phallic shape.
Despite the strong suggestion of sexuality in the dream I don't think it was sexual, it didn't feel that way. It felt more powerful, not arrogant but strong confidence. Given that water was a prominent element throughout the dream, connecting with my subconscious seems to be the key thing. In looking up possible meanings to receiving oral sex in a dream being open to creativity came up. In fact much of the symbology suggests I'm currently open to my subconscious desires and creativity. I think it's a reflection of me feeling that I'm taking my life in my own hands in considering my job search.
