Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
Shark
Sharks represent primal fear, hidden danger lurking beneath the surface, and aggressive forces in your life. Because sharks are often unseen until they strike, they can symbolize threats you sense but cannot identify. In a business context, 'sharks' may represent ruthless competitors or predatory people. However, sharks are also symbols of survival, adaptability, and primal efficiency.
