What are possible meanings for dreams of dolphins?
The symbolism of dolphins in dreams is often connected with common associations such as playfulness, intelligence, and friendliness. Dreams can go a million different directions when using those traits and behaviors to tell a story about you and your life.
Dolphins are social and known for cooperation, so a group of dolphins is a ready-made symbol for a group of people that get along—especially schoolmates, because dolphins gather together in “schools,” though the correct term is “pods.”
Dolphins are like happy, chattering schoolchildren, and that imagery can connect with similar behavior observed in people, especially children.
The powerful swimming ability of dolphins and the fact that they live in water gives them strong associations with emotions, especially joy, enthusiasm, and zest.
Dolphins can symbolize ability to navigate emotions and emotional situations. See: Water
Dreams have other aquatic creatures to choose from when they want to make a comparison for how you navigate emotions and emotional situations, so a key to analyzing the symbolism is to figure out why a dolphin is chosen. For example, a dolphin can be used to say that you never let anything get you down, or you can get away quickly when danger lurks. Read the entries for Shark and Whale to see how other aquatic creatures are used in dream-stories.
Dolphins are known for rescuing endangered swimmers, so they can symbolize something that rescues or guides you—especially help from the unconscious mind. Creatures that symbolize helpful messengers from the unconscious are often colored white.
Dolphins hurt or killed can symbolize something that destroys your enthusiasm, or that overpowers your ability to navigate your emotions. It can symbolize something that overtakes your better nature. For example, a shark eating a dolphin can symbolize having to be mean or predatory, though by nature you’d rather live and let live.
For a predatory person, a dolphin can symbolize a tasty, elusive prey.
Positive dreams featuring dolphins can be a good sign that your life is headed in the right direction.
These are common associations with dolphins. Be sure to think of your own associations.

Villa wave dream! Anyone have any ideas?
So preface. I spent the night with a new date and everything went exceptionally well. She left around 10 and.my city is currently on phase 3 of QT...I fell asleep around 2 as I usually do.
The dream I had, was of me and my date eating lunch on a cliff side restaurant overlooking a channel, a channel big enough to fit a cruise liner. In the distance was a big green tropical mountain so I assume we were somewhere in Hawaii or Greece. The sun was warm and comforting, the breeze was cool and relaxing, our food was was refreshing. The general atmosphere was that it like a vacation.
Now for the cool part. Off in the distance from the mountain came this gigantic cruise liner. The mountain face opened up and launched this ship down the mountain into the channel, with a loud echoing boom. You could see the ship above the cliffs, it was huge. When it hit the water it caused a massive wave, like tsunami. I jumped from my chair, but I wasn't...scared, just startled. The wave gently crashed over us like as if a dolphin or an orca splashed us at sea world (fuck SeaWorld btw) as the wave crested over us, I could see through it clearly. The sun was radiating through it like blue stained glass

Help me interpret: Kittens turn into dolphins
I looked up the symbolism of some of the things in my dream. Like kittens, dolphins and childhood home.
But why would the kittens turn into dolphins??
The dolphins lived in the pool in the backyard of my childhood home (my childhood home was not a good place; abuse, narcissism and violence. The pool itself was put in by a narcissist which put him in great debt and during his time in prison he insinuated that he hid things in the foundation of the pool)
Anyways, a dolphins was having babies but what was coming out were kittens. Dream me was having a hard time understanding how this transition could possible happen. But I saw some kittens go out near the pool and then there were babydolphinss in the pool and no kitten. I bonded with the last kitten born who wasn’t going out to the pool. And I had some knowledge that the kitten would go when it’s ready. All I remember after that was watching thedolphinss and petting the kitten.
I don’t know if my conscious mind added this but awake me seems to remember my abuser being out by the pool but being very kind to the animals. He always was kind to animals. But it is possible that awake me added that to the dream for some reason
Thank you for any help!

Orca shoots out into the surface
I was in at the beach chest deep in the water. I see a group of dolphins lined up and I can see a hump back whale at a distance. There are people at the beach as well. I see an orca under the water almost charging at me but it shoots out of the water really high up. I step back. Again it charges at me then goes even higher and almost lands on my, so I'm on the beach now. It charges one last time and falls on the sand almost hitting an older couple. They seemed startled for a little bit and sleep walking whole holding hands. I see the orca and I try to get people to help carry the orca back in the water.
The last time I had dream about orcas was a couple years ago when I was really stressed and struggling with my current relationship. Also like now I was unemployed and felt pretty overwhelmed by my emotions.

Help please for my shark dream
I was on the beach not in the water and seen 4/5 shark fins coming towards the beach, the water was very calm. My first reaction was to see if anyone was in the water and I shouted "shark" several times. I then felt ok when I realised no one else was in the water.
Then a baby dolphin came swimming really fast and panicked out of the water onto the beach, I felt - oh thats why the sharks are here. I picked up the dolphin and took him further down the beach and put him back in the water, I had 2 worries at this point. That I was actually putting the dolphin back into danger but I knew he wouldn't survive out of the water and I also worried that the shark would come out and get me, I warned other people that the sharks can come into shallow water and not to put themselves at risk to help me.
Not long after I was with a group of people and we were socialising in front of where we seen the sharks. 2 men joined us, 1 was a work colleague and the other I dont remember. They were dressed in diving gear with fake shark fins on there backs, saying that there was no real shark, that is was them.
Any info you may have on this would be great thankyou.
