Dreaming of a Dolphin
dolphin, orca · mostly negative
A dolphin in a dream is a rather dark omen: a change of authority or the loss of someone dear.
What happens in the dream
- If you're a sailor: the wind will blow from wherever the dolphin came
- You see a dolphin: you'll come under a new authority, which isn't a very good sign
- Dolphins playing in the water: the loss of a dear friend or relative
- A dolphin out of the water: the death of friends
How you felt
- Tenderness mixed with fear: the dream may reflect attachment to someone you're afraid of losing
- Feeling displaced: perhaps a sense of being out of your element
Ask yourself
- Is there someone I haven't told how much they matter?
- Where do I feel out of my element?
