Hi Darkangels, welcome to Dreamviews!


That was definitely a lucid dream, since you acknowledged that you were dreaming. If you experience something like that again, remember that the shark (or whatever else it may be) is purely a part of the dream, and has no substance. It can't really hurt you. You could hold out your hand and should commandingly, "stop!"

If you were to expect the shark would stop attacking you, it probably would. This is the same for anything else in a dream; if you expect to wake up, you could really wake up, or end up in a false awakening. If you expect a person to appear around the corner, they probably will.

If you have any questions about the DV site or lucid dreaming in general, feel free to ask.
