whale symbolism

whale

Whales are creatures that were revered and revered by some peoples such as the South American Nazca and the Pacific Coast Native American peoples. Others hunted the whales relentlessly, some almost to extinction. The arctic Inupiaq legend tells how the Great Spirit created the most perfect animal, the bow whale. In their culture, the whale was treated with great respect and hunters had to go through initiation rites just to be able to hunt them. In these rites, the hunter had to touch the whale all over his body, absorbing its spirit, medicine, and pain. Europeans also had great respect for whales, considering them symbols of the world, the body, and the grave. Whales were a symbol of the ocean, an alien environment that was both vital and deadly to humans.

Swimming whales are a sign of good luck for many peoples, while a beached whale meant bad news for the entire community, even disease, as a decaying corpse could spread disease.

Whales are associated with compassion and solitude and the knowledge of life and death. They are also associated with unbridled creativity. Exhaling through the blowhole symbolizes the release of one’s own creative energies. Sound is also a creative force of life. Whales use sonar and echolocation and link them to guidance for direction and response to feedback. Although whales are a symbol of the free use of creativity, they are also teachers of how to use creative energies more conservatively.

Big bodies of water can be both beautiful and scary. And since water symbolizes emotions and portals in the spiritual realm, dreams of lakes, rivers, seas and oceans can be very instructive. But although they are both full of salt water, we cannot distinguish all seas and oceans, so when interpreting these dreams we will combine these categories of water dreams.

what does it mean to dream about the sea?

1. Call to Ministry

In the Christian gospels, Jesus has a dozen disciples who follow him and share his ministry. Many of these stories are about fishing miracles, from Andrew and (Simon) Peter’s overwhelming harvest to magically feeding 5,000 people with 5 loaves and 2 fish.

Altogether four of the apostles were fishermen, and Jesus converted them to fishers of men. In the Bible, an ocean represents mankind. So if you dream of standing on the beach or fishing, you will receive a calling to go into ministry and convert sinful souls to God.

2. Booming business

Throughout history, the ocean has played a major role in trade, conquest, discovery, and colonization. Indigenous islanders used rafts and boats to travel between mainlands. They interacted with unfamiliar cultures and traded goods, knowledge, and even people.

Even today, marine issues like the Suez Canal debacle can hamper commercial activities for months. So, if you dream about the ocean, it could be a message related to the success of your business. Calm seas portend profits, while choppy waters portend risky investments.

3. Lucky in love

If you dream of standing on the sea shore, the dream is about the transactions around you. These things – good or bad – will affect you indirectly. But when you interact with the ocean, the message can affect your love life on an individual level.

Suppose you dream of surfing, swimming, diving or even jet skiing. You have autonomy in these activities. Yes, you are at the mercy of the sea, but you have some influence and things will be fine. However, rough waves portend a crisis, so ask your spirit guides how to fix things.

4. Forbidden Passion

A few centuries ago, most people believed the world was flat. Back then, almost everyone believed that if you ran into the sunset, you would fall off the edge of the planet. And modern flat-earthers still do! So what does it mean when you dream of sailing your boat into the horizon?

Well it bodes badly for your love life, that’s for sure. This dream suggests that you will fall in love with someone you will never be able to have. This could be your best friend’s girl, your brother-in-law, or your partner’s college roommate. Ask your guardian angel for help to quell these flames.

5. Overwhelming emotions

In general, dreams about water represent transition and emotion. So what does it mean when you dream of mighty sea waves? In these dreams, the waves are massive and scary, but they don’t drown you. You could snorkel or be a sea creature.

These ripples suggest a feeling that is overwhelming you, but you don’t know what it is because you have been repressing it. Ask your heavenly helpers to clear the scene. They can tell you exactly what the unknown emotions are and how to deal with them before they overwhelm you.

6. Waves of Creativity

Some of us are artistic. We may draw, write, paint, dance or sculpt for a living. But even if we have normal office jobs, if we have a creative inclination, we can use these skills in our professions. We can develop successful marketing campaigns or solutions.

So, if you have a metaphorical mind and consider yourself artistic or inventive, a dream about sea waves can be a good thing. It means whirlpools of inspiration are coming your way, and fast! Ask your heavenly muse to help you grasp these ideas and execute them well.

7. Spiritual inclinations

Religion is a strange thing. Most of us grow up believing what our parents, neighbors, or school teach us. We don’t think critically about our customs until our teens, and many lose our confidence at school, at work, when we discover philosophy, or when someone we love dies unfairly.

But as we hit our 30s and 40s, many of us revert to the dogmas of our youth. The ocean represents spirituality, opportunity, possibility and divine wisdom. So if you have dreams of staring at the water while on a cruise, it could be your guardian angel renewing your faith.

8. Doubts in love

We know that water is a symbol of emotions. So what does it mean when you dream about getting lost at sea? It often implies uneasiness in your relationship. Perhaps you are unsure of your feelings for your partner, whether it is your spouse, fiancé, or someone you are just starting to like.

The ocean is – physically – full of dangerous and beautiful creatures. Metaphorically, it captures nymphs, sirens, sea spirits and sea monsters. All of these are potential threats to your romantic life. So if you’re feeling lost in these murky waters, a couples counselor might be of help.

9. Fire!

Most of us know that water is the best solution against unwanted flames. But as any action movie can tell you, pouring water on an oil or gas fire makes it worse. And the same movies tell us that when the sea surface is on fire, you need to dive in quickly and swim under those explosions.

So what does it mean when you dream about diving deep into the ocean? It could be a warning that something in your waking life is about to burn. Your guides can verify if the fire is physical or metaphorical. Go through your safety logs and get yourself a new fire bottle.

10. New friends

Imagine you are standing on the beach with gently foaming waves lapping at your feet. It’s a hopeful image as the sand shakes between your toes and the sun shines on this beautiful ocean, full of life, wonder and magical potential. You may have this dream at the start of a new job.

Or maybe you’re enrolling in a new school or moving to a new neighborhood. Remember that the ocean represents the vast expanse of humanity. The water kissing your feet and licking your calves means you will find new friends and positive connections in this place.

11. Financial prosperity

Oceans can appear vast and promising, especially on a calm, sunny day. And just think of all the wealth that comes from these vast waters. We can get everything from pearls and oil to sunken shipwreck treasure. And don’t forget about profits from shipping cargo and cruises!

In addition, the sea is an important source of seafood. So, if you dream of calm seas, it could mean that money is coming your way. You might land a new job, a lucrative business, a surprising inheritance, or even win the lottery. The ocean could even mean a promotion or a raise.

12. Emotional exploration

Feminists fight patriarchy because it does untold damage to their lives, careers, and even their self-esteem. But this philosophy also harms men. For one, it socializes them to hide all emotions except anger. It hurts the men themselves and the women they interact with.

So when a man dreams of the ocean, it could be his higher helpers’ way of releasing all the feelings he is repressing. It’s not safe for him to express these emotions in waking life, so he lets them out at night instead. He may wake up feeling calm and relieved.

13. Imbalanced feelings

The previous interpretation referred to men (and certain stoic women) knowingly hiding and repressing their feelings. But sometimes you crush your feelings as a reflex, as an unconscious defense mechanism. This repressed reality can cause discomfort and discomfort.

So, your guardian angels could be sending you a turbulent ocean dream. It makes you aware of your inner imbalance. If you have an active spiritual practice, ask your celestial guardians to show you what feelings you are ignoring and to help you address them in a healthy, holistic, and strategic way.

14. Internal Conflict

The tides, currents and waves of the ocean are in constant flux. And you may have even heard that oceans and seas can sometimes meet, but they never mix. Therefore, if you dream of a sea that is constantly moving, this portends an internal conflict. They face an existential dilemma.

You may not be able to decide between two applicants, three job offers, or a career path to specialize in. You may dream that you are treading water in the middle of the ocean. That means you have a whole world of options and can’t decide. Ask your angels for help.

15. Loss of Purpose

You’ve probably seen people swimming on TV or in movies. Sometimes they vigorously swing their arms and kick their feet. At other times they float on the water looking relaxed and calm, seemingly carefree in the world. What does it mean if you have this dream?

If you dream about floating freely in the ocean, it means that you have lost your drive. You have experienced emotional trauma and now have no purpose or direction in life. You feel aimless and your life has little meaning. You need angelic help to bring you back to the living.

16. Secrecy and Treason

Many of us love to pick seashells on the beach – they are so pretty! But we rarely think about what these shells mean. They protect the soft bodies of sea creatures. So if you find a seashell in the sand, it means the creature it belonged to is probably dead. Shells also preserve the beach.

They crumble into sand and help reduce erosion. So, if you dream of collecting seashells by the sea or even diving to find them on the seabed, this is an omen. Your precious secrets will soon be revealed and you will be betrayed by someone you trust deeply. Look sharp!

17. Opportunity and passion

Your ocean dream may not necessarily involve interacting with the water. Perhaps you dream of walking on the sand with the waves alongside or behind you. It’s a romantic idea – many dating profiles claim to love these walks. So it could be the promise of a new love.

But the dream is not always erotic. It could be a symbol of a new opportunity, like an exciting journey or a new project. It may also contain a spiritual secret to remind you that your spirit guides are walking with you. Remember the poem about footprints in the sand. this is your angel

18. Hidden fears and apprehensions

Sometimes your ocean dream can feel oppressive and real. What does it mean when you dream of fighting in the middle of the sea? You’re not directly drowning, but somehow you’re fighting against the current without making any progress. And you know you’re a strong swimmer!

This could mean that you are anxious and afraid of something, but you don’t know what it is. You have the (swimming) skills to get out of this mess, but you have no idea what the troubling problem is. Ask your guardian angels to reveal the challenge to you and help you through it.

19. Self-inflicted problems

In rural communities, people sometimes wash clothes, relieve themselves, clean their animals, or bathe their bodies in the same water they drink. They don’t have any other water sources (and they don’t know any better), but it’s bad for their health and their environment.

But some tourists also bathe in the sea, filling it with potentially toxic soaps and shampoos. What does it mean when you dream about doing this? Your spirit guides are warning you that your waking actions are irresponsible and reckless. You will lose allies!

20. Temporary bliss

If you’ve been on a vacation by the sea, you know the excitement and joy of low tide. You’ll feel powerful as you walk along the sand and go deeper into the ocean than ever before. You’ll discover creatures and shells you wouldn’t normally find, and you might even get some trinkets!

But you must get to safety quickly before the water flows back! Therefore, if you see low tide in a dream, it means temporary happiness. You will have a great time, but it will be a short time. When that pleasant event comes, be present and enjoy every moment – it will be over soon.

21. Toxic Activities

You may have seen Lost at Sea movies where people drank their own urine because the sweater was too salty. Firstly not. It’s a myth and a bad idea. Second, what does it mean to see yourself drinking from the sea in a dream? This is comparable to sea baths.

It means engaging in self-harm activities without realizing it. Ask your Guardian Angel to identify your toxic habits, interactions and partnerships. Your guides will also give you the power to let go of these harmful activities, especially when they are fun.

Dreams are different for everyone, so your own feelings are the best guide when interpreting a dolphin or whale dream. Whales or dolphins can symbolize different things, so try to imagine how you felt in your dream. For example, if you were happy and swam with dolphins, it could mean that you want to be more carefree in your life. Or, if you’ve been scared, it could mean that you feel like you’re losing control of your life. If you were underwater in a dream, it could be a reflection of your deeper emotional state. On the other hand, if the whale or dolphin ran out of water, it could indicate a sense of insecurity about your place in the world. In general, whales often symbolize awareness and intuition, and dolphins often represent happiness and joy. To learn how to track your dream over time, read on!
