Hi all,
I have come here for the obvious reasons, to try and figure out my dream--if it does indeed have a meaning. I rarely remember my dreams so it's interesting that this one stood out and with such vivid detail...

It began I was walking out of a public bathroom and ran into a musician of a band i used to listen to when i was a teenager. He was walking into the bathroom, we chatted a little, and I walked out and onto a stage where I walked up to a microphone and announced that the band would be out shortly...then i knocked the mic over! I went to sit down with my friends from college who i havent seen since we graduated almost 2 years ago, and found one of my friends chatting with a guy i had briefly dated who wasn't the classiest of characters. i wasn't jealous that they were chatting just worried that he would screw her over as he did to me.

next thing i know i'm in the middle of the ocean trying to swim away from sharks. I have my beloved dog with me and i'm trying to hold him and swim away.

This is where it gets weird, suddenly we are surrounded by sharks below the surface and i hear a voice say that these sharks will not attack us but help us swim away. So I'm hanging on to a shark fin with it pulling me through the ocean trying to get away from the "bad" sharks. I'm so worried my dog will get eaten that i put him on another shark that can swim faster and he swims away with my dog.

Suddenly, myself and the shark i'm "swimming" with are attacked by some giant sea creature trying to bite me. I manage to hold it's mouth away and then somehow I have subdued it...like it's under anesthesia. then we swim away to land which is a room with a stand up shower filling to the top with water. The shark, my dog, and another shark all jump out of the water and are flopping around. By then i'm so emotionally attached to the shark that saved me that i take them and throw the two sharks and my dog in the stand up shower filling with water.

Any help? i've looked up what sharks in dreams means, but i can't figure out how the element of being helped by sharks to get away from sharks comes in...
