Dreaming of a whale represents a contact with our unconscious, the underworld and our shadow. Whale is a mammal that lives underwater and needs to surface from time to time. A whale in a dream has a meaning of intuition which lies down under and surfaces occasionally. It can also mean archetypal symbol for the Great Mother.

All my dreams start off in a very warm familiar place. Like I am in my house but all my stuff is 3 times bigger, softer and closer than usual. This dream evolved to me being surprised at finding 50,000 pounds in my bank account, I was weary and did not celebrate the idea, before I worked out why it was there. I was leaving the house and walked across the beach. It was grey. I saw a whale on the sea in the distance. In the same instance I suddenly noticed another whale washed up on the beach, still alive. Someone else was already there. I just stopped and looked for a long time before walking over. I felt the whale was looking back at me. I have snap shots of pushing it hard, and it’s eye. I felt like a little girl.

At first I was looking out to an endless borderless ocean….I think I was on the edge of some sort of reef with wooden planks. I looked down and I saw what appeared to be a whale…but its funny cause in the dream I was thinking that maybe it wasn’t a whale.
The whale came above water and I noticed it was eyeless and that kinda jolted me back and then slowly the whale continued to follow me, eventually crashing onto the reef. The whale eventually went back into the ocean.

I had a dream that my Family was having a beach day @ Old Orchard beach and my mum had invited her friend and her daughter. When we got there my mum told me that the whale was coming. I was scared of confronting the whale for some reason. I got the sense that she was the “Whale mother” type of thing. I saw the whale wash up on the shore. It was a HUGE humpback whale. I guess she came to shore once everyday. I ran inside the Hotel on the beach and ended up getting lost in there the entire day. Someone finally walked me out of the hotel and I found my mum and she told me that the whale was very upset with me as we were leaving. Thats where my dream ended. It was one of the clearest dreams I’ve had in a while.

I dreamed that I was at a restaurant with a little boy that was supposedly my brother, but he wasn’t my real brother. The restaurant had no walls, it was made out of wood. But I noticed that there were some stairs that led to a huge pool. Inside the pool there was a huge dead whale. I shivered when I went down there - the whale came out of nowhere. But I felt it was not dead because something inside it connected to me - like if it was trying to tell me something. My little brother was with me by the pool, but he wasn’t really scared. He was just looking at it. so I decided to go back upstairs to get a drink. When I went up, I saw three witches drinking human blood. One of them was the mom of my little brother - and she was drinking her own son’s blood. So I decided to run down to check on my little brother that was by the whale, but he was gone. And then I woke up.

I dreamed that I was on a terrace on a skyscraper/high apartment building with my mother. I was looking down outside at a reservoir/small lake with clear water. All of a sudden there is a big blue humpback whale that is swimming there. It takes up a lot of the space in the water–it almost looks like it’s fine–the water is sparkling, but I know it must be trapped. I lean over to try and take a photo with my phone but all of a sudden everything starts shifting and the floor of the terrace starts tilting over the side. My mom and I try to hold on to anything so we don’t fall over, but we start sliding down towards the edge. It’s almost a magnet pulling us there. Then…it stops, the whale is gone.
