A lobster fought a crab in my dream

Hello everyone. I found this forum because this dream I had last night is screaming something at me and I'm hoping to find some suggestions as to what it means.

Dream:
I was in the ocean and there was a crab that I thought was trying to attack me. Then all of a sudden I had a lobster in my hand and I pushed it on the crab. The lobster attacked the crab and pinched the crab's claw off, and the crab started screaming a high pitched scream (It was sort of disturbing in the dream). After the crab was gone (Defeated), the lobster sat on my shoulder like he was my pet. I was a little afraid that he would snip my ear off while on my shoulder, but he seemed to be a loyal lobster and meant me no harm. That was the end.

In my life lately I have been deliberately facing fears and having some pretty good success in getting over negative positions and beliefs that have been bringing on fear and blocking me from doing certain things in life. Doing this inner work has opened up a new confidence for me.

I'm not sure if the two are related or not, but I was hoping to get some insight on the dream. Thanks for reading. Keif

Hahahaha, that's awesome. Lobster pet defending you from crabclaw

The only thing that I would think it is related to is exactly what you mentioned, "In my life lately I have been deliberately facing fears and having some pretty good success in getting over negative positions and beliefs that have been bringing on fear and blocking me from doing certain things in life. Doing this inner work has opened up a new confidence for me." So the lobster would be your empowerment in facing your fears(the crab) and conquering them

Good for you man, that's cool that you're becoming empowered like that :D
