I am working on an oil rig type thing. (Large floating building in the middle of water) We're working on a very important technology or some sort of solution in vials. We're competing with other companies and we are winning.

The oil rig type thing sinks down, shark-infested waters. Sabotage?

Our work is in a treasure chest that sinks down.

Me and another guy are trying to save it, but water starts filling up the area.

I realize I have to choose between the treasure chest or my own life.

I give up on trying to save the treasure chest and the other guy is still trying. I leave him and the chest to come up for air.

Does this dream align with a particular time of inner work or development? Or, perhaps, an invitation to pay attention to something related?

I am struck by the other guy who is still below the surface, searching for the treasure. The ocean is a typical symbol of the unconscious so it makes me wonder if a part of the psyche is committed to the task of pulling up something needed for development of the personality, even if you've yet to do some from a more conscious perspective. Perhaps that is because there is a lack of resources (need to go up for air).

The dream might insinuate the need to gather resources and then dive back down once more...

Late reply but I realized this dream was about my relationship. This dream reflected my unconscious decision to leave the relationship. I was conflicted for 6 months and I had to get the other part of me on the same page, and now here I am, recently separated and still moving forward.

Fascinating update, thank you for sharing! This is a good example of how dreams are often pre-figuring the changes/developments we have yet to realize consciously.
