Killer Whales Symbolism in Cultures
In the Arabic-Islamic dream interpretation, the symbolism of the whale depends on whether it is to be seen in captivity or free in the sea.
A free-swimming whale is a very positive dream symbol that points to luck, financial gain, and business success in the near future. A trapped animal, however, refers to unfortunate coincidences that will lead to worry and grief.
The traditional Indian dream research sees in the whale a symbol for real obstacles, which must be overcome with great effort. To catch a whale means to have endurance and perseverance in order to make the business better in the future. “Do not lose heart” is the message that this peaceful dream animal wants to transmit.
There are stories about whales since time immemorial. No wonder, because whales are among the oldest animals in the world. They have been around for over 50 million years.
In Norway, there are even petroglyphs of sea creatures that were created in the Stone Age. In mythology, whales were portrayed as monsters from the deep, but also as peaceful giants of the seas.
Dreams about Killer Whales – Meaning
Whales are huge, impressive animals that have strong social structures, are extremely sociable and rarely live as loners.
Although marine mammals feed mainly on plankton and other marine life such as fish, seals, penguins or even other whale species, mammals are largely harmless to humans.
Like all dreams, there are also dreams in which one has a sudden encounter with a whale, depending on the context and the feelings that accompany the dreaming.
The personal attitude to the animals also influences the dream interpretation of killer whale dreams.
So the dream of a whale for a SeaWorld trainer who deals with the animals on a daily basis probably has a different meaning than a person who only knows the giants from television.
In general, whales in the dream are symbolic of the power of the unconscious as well as of energy, vitality and earthiness.
Especially important in this context are the elements of water and earth, which are closely related to the dream symbol.
The interpretation of killer whale dreams depends not only on the context and the emotions, but also on the real life situation in which the affected person is at the time of the dream. If the dreamer is currently in a difficult phase of life, the whale symbolizes a good friend who is coming to help.
In the sense of the proverbial thick fish, the animal can also be understood as an announcement of successful, lucrative transactions or events.
As a warning dream, the dream of the whale has the task of warning the dreaming of the aforementioned overburdening, as well as of things from the subconscious.
If you feel threatened by the marine mammal in the dream, it is a nightmare or a bad dream, if you are even swallowed by the whale, then this is to be understood as a warning for dangers from the subconscious mind.
At the same time, the warning space functions as an invitation to the dreamer to bring things dormant in the depths of his subconscious, such as the whale in the depths of the sea, to the surface in order to avoid possible dangers or prevent negative consequences.
The Killer whale is also called killer whale and is a walad from the family of dolphins. However, these giants of the seas have little in common with the friendly-looking dolphins.
Killer whales live predominantly in all cold marine regions, such as the North Pacific, the North Atlantic and the polar seas. But they are also common in the northern North Sea, especially in the area around Norway.
From the point of view of psychological dream interpretation, the dream image “Killer whale” stands for suppressed feelings of the dreaming. These can burst out of the soul depths as suddenly as the Killer whale itself does in the sea. He shoots out of the water with tremendous force, then dives back into the sea.
One should therefore be aware of these feelings, because this can help the victim to be more attentive to warnings of his subconscious mind. In particular, the dream image of a diving Killer whales indicates that it should be like him and make his way to the depths of his own soul.
The Killer whale is also a whale and if you add this dream symbol to the dream analysis, it can also warn the dreaming, that he is too haughty and arrogant. Self-esteem is something very important and healthy, but only to a reasonable degree.
