Whales Dream Meaning

If we look from prehistoric times to today the whale has given us thrills and has featured in many movies and films. Whales are the largest creature on the planet and have the biggest brains of any animal. Spiritually this is a powerful dream so I am going to run through what this dream means.

To see a plume of spray shooting in the air indicates that something important is about to happen to you. The blue whale is known as a “cetacean” which comes from the Greek word “kenos” that is translated to a sea monster. The whale is also connected to the word known as a wheel. If in your dream you could see high winds and crash waves the dream this can understandably be somewhat dramatic. Whales in dreams relate to how we are connected to others.

Teamwork:

Whales swimming together indicates that you need to motivate and supervise a team to ensure work is completed against objectives. To dream of the whale's tongue (that weighs over four tons) indicates someone will communicate with you. Whales have been slaughtered almost to extinction to kill a whale indicates that there is a long road ahead.

Communication:

In my experience dreaming of a whale indicates that we need to communicate better and think about what people need from us. The whale is associated with helping us be more positive in life and our emotions. In short, a whale seen in a dream offers protection, power, peaceful relations and communication.

The faster pace of life:

Whales can be used for blubber or fat, candles, lamp oils and soaps. The British scientist Sir Isaac Newton read his books by the light of a whale lamp, the reason I mention this is because seeing a whale caught can mean you will see the light to an issue. Seeing a sperm whale or bowhead whales indicates life will become faster and more intense. Seeing the whale’s blowhole in a dream can also mean that you will find solutions to problems.

Size:

The whale is the largest creature in the sea. This is significant because it can mean taking on a new project. This dream could mean you need to be aware of major problems in life and as whales are intelligent creatures they can show up as a dream symbol when you need to understand something spiritually.

What is the spiritual meaning of this dream?

Native Americans believed that the whale was the record keeper for the earth. In the bible, whales hold many associations. Take for example Jonah, he was swallowed by a whale and then he was reborn. The whale brings with it wisdom. If you are looking at using your inner intuition it is not unusual for whales to appear in dreams. This is quite a spiritual dream, in that this signals rebirth.

In spiritual terms, a swimming whale is connected to inner sense of recreation, power, happiness, darkness and also a distant focus on losing something important in life. Turning to action a whale indicates that we need “alone” time in order to grow spiritually. In dreams, it is common to see a whale attacking. When one is facing a crossroads in life the whale attacking during a dream often appears. Dreaming of seeing whales is connected to your own inner values which will eventually shape a rebirth.
