this harkens back to the shark dream of a few days back.
your dream self appears to be bolder than you!
this could be speaking of efforts made on your behave by
aspects of your being of which you're not consciously aware...
clearing any potential dangers from your emotional field so
that your conscious mind will be more comfortable exploring
there.
as an aside: in discussing that prior dream i'd had a thought to
mention someone warning of a bear (rather than a shark), to
steer people into the water rather than away... but i decided
against introducing that extraneous thought. what's weird, to
my thinking, is that you'd had a bear dream in the interim.
