An interpretation of whale dreams
This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. The symbolism of a whale in a dream can derive from its immense size, expressed in sayings like “whale of a good time” and “whale of an argument.” Size in a dream is like an adjective that modifies the symbol connected with it. For example, you have huge expectations before meeting a person but end up disappointed afterward. You then dream about looking forward to going to Sea World and seeing the whales, only to get there and find out the exhibit is closed. Trying to figure out how to transport a whale can symbolize a huge problem. A whale that lands on your head can symbolize a big idea. See: Hugeness A whale can symbolize feeling overweight or bloated. It can symbolize feeling weighed down. Whales are associated with spirituality and wisdom. They can dive deep under water, and water is associated with emotion, spirit, and the unconscious mind. In dreams a whale’s journey through the water can symbolize your personal or spiritual journey through life, or your exploration of the unconscious mind. It’s a very positive image and bodes well for your personal development. See: Oceans, Water, Unconscious minds A baby whale can symbolize a child, especially given that babies emerge from the mother’s womb all wet. See: Giving birth The languid movements of whales are associated with feelings of tranquility and calm. They’re inspiring and uplifting. Whales make strong bonds among each other and can symbolize strong bonds between people. For example, a closely knit family can be symbolized as a pod of whales. Whales can communicate over vast distances using ultrasonic frequencies that are beyond human hearing. That ability to communicate can symbolize a connection you have with a person who is physically distant but personally close. You have a sixth sense. Being near such a big creature as a whale is inherently dangerous. Therefore, a whale in a dream might symbolize something from which you want to keep your distance. Rescuing a whale can symbolize saving something about yourself symbolized as the whale. For example, a woman dreams about finding a beached whale and trying to save it. She associates whales with kindness, and what she’s trying to save is her own kindness after a series of incidents made her start feeling jaundiced. Always consider your personal associations when you dream about a whale. See: Rescuing See also: Animals, Beaches, Giving birth, Family, Hugeness, Oceans, Rescuing, Unconscious minds, Water
