A whale signals great danger to your property, but vast fortune if you master it.

What happens in the dream

  • The whale is killed or harpooned: you will choose rightly and enjoy real success, a great fortune
  • Sitting on its back: you will become someone important and live long in peace
  • It overturns a ship: a whirl of disasters
  • A whale nears a ship: a clash of duties and a threat to your property
  • Seeing a live whale in the open sea: grave danger to your life or property

How you felt

  • Feeling dwarfed: the dream may reflect something much bigger than you
  • Power: you may sense an inner strength ready to surface

Ask yourself

  • What feels enormous to me right now?
  • How can I get on top of this challenge?
