Orca in Dreams

Dreaming of the killer whale or the orca is a warning of enemies lurking nearby to bring down your success and fortunes. The natural reaction is to do everything possible to prevent being swallowed whole by your antagonist. Pay attention to recent businesses, and relationships established through a tenuous nature.

If you dream about an orca, it means you are feeling insecure about yourself because you have not yet been able to achieve anything great in your life.

  1. I was walking to this outside pool area and I was looking to swim, but I forgot my swim suit so I just walked around the pool. There was this family and they were swimming and the mother was trying to feed this fish to the killer whale, but it kept rejecting it. The killer whale looked different though the teeth were bigger. Then I was in the water like in a movie and was watching them under water and all of a sudden the one who rejected the fish attacked the other whale. It was brutal and then it started eating the other whale that it attacked. It ate it like a shark. It was so traumatizing that when I woke up I was shaking and disoriented. I didn’t like the dream!

  2. I was on an island all covered with resort, was my parents and think my brothers there too, dunno not important I guess… Mum had taken our boat large cruiser, with my grandma, weird enough given she’s long dead… She’d been in the dream a lot I could smell her perfume-White lace- again not so important. Anyway they had the boat to go trawling….weird but ok. Still not important as such. Dad was around watching, there where Orcas (killer whales), big fuckers…much larger than they really are, and they’re big I’ve stood right beside one San Diego zoo, anyways… Couple of people were riding them… But they were getting angry and were big enough to take these full grown men in their mouths and shake them all about then with their tongues push them back out….one kid got in the water he got the same teeth scratching fkn scary warning, in mouth then by tongue shoved out, to go away!!! “Why are they so angry” I said to myself…. Then walking the board walks wondering this I came across a baby one….here things turn to the dramatic….. It’s tail was severed almost off, lots of slashes all near its back end like from a propeller… But a whole crowd was just watching it flop and bleed on the board walk!!! I picked it up, difficult in that it was very heavy even though smallish, the size a a full grown large dog new born and soaked, covered in blood…so much bright red blood!!! I was shouting for help… Couple of people that looked like wildlife rangers or some such shit tried to take it or have me hide it…in the manner of dreams hard to say what. The other massive orcas had started to smashing at boats and the woods of boardwalk they could kinda “beach” on and were raising hell…I said”the mum, she needs to see and smell her baby!”….. These Rangers, now looking more like fisher men with big fuck off knives were saying they weren’t going anywhere near the orcas stuff like that and more can’t recall just knew shit was bad and getting worse fast… Eventually they said, dad too said…. ” you’re covered in its blood-which I really was-(I don’t see my dad, nor speak regularly) you go near them with it” soooo I walked to one of the higher areas that had a big one swimming under circling, while I myself still struggling with the massive slippery beautiful yet dying baby I was carrying sat by the edge and… In the manner of dreams “called” to the mother…or that’s how I saw the massive scratched and bleeding orca I’d taken myself near…. -this seemed real, all of it in no way did my head see what was occurring as a dream I was “there”!-
    The wildlife/fisher dudes are saying “easy, be careful now”……. yeh like I needed to be fucking told that!!!!, felt like I was literally gonna shit myself.. thought, in the manner of dreams, I had been about to eat..,of the massive meal I had waiting just shortly ago and how I had no appetite any longer!!!
    Then this way larger than life orca springs from the water to land on the boardwalk near me, boards (sleeper thick) were creaking and I struggle this baby closer as this mum slides over sniffing and blowing enough so my hair was push back and I could feel the tears streaming down my face, she felt so very sad….
    “Now I didn’t do this you hear me, I’m just showing you, this baby is going to die, you can smell that right?” Over and over…then whoop she had her nose at the baby I held in not crying as such but the tears were just flowing freely down my face… So much sadness such anger and the beast seemed all of a sudden so very big and me so small, so very fragile… Out loud to myself….to the onlookers…to the “Rangers”
    “Ok….I’m pretty fucking scared now!!!!!” With one last massive blow of air looking with one eye into mine..or my soul it felt…the “mother” slid back into the water with an incredible splash making holding the baby all but impossible…she and all the others were gone!!! FAAARKK I screamed! Then I looked around and said “it needs to be put down”, soooo much suffering could I feel!!!!
    One of the “Rangers” went to hand me the foot long knives they had, “ahhhh fuck no!!! Reckon I’ve done my part!!!” I looked down again not crying but just flowing tears, at an impossible rate.
    In the manner of dreams I was “thinking” goodbye, bless you, this is for the best!! Exactly that over and over….
    Then I woke, face wet pillow wet, that was at 07:26.
    My face is leaking thinking of it still and it’s taken re reading this three times to make any sense because of my hands shaking, my whole body actually!

    Never where more true words spoken than at the point I said “ok…I’m pretty fucking scared now”!!!!!

    This was a dream of seeming reality, I dream much, consider I astra travel, most dreams I know I’m dreaming, even when flying…..not this dream, this seemed real life!

  3. I dream very often. My grandmother use to ask me what you dream last night and I would tell her about the dreams. I am 44. I dreamed last night about first seeing 2 seals just off my porch as if I was about to step off my porch and then seeing that there is nothing but water. The seals just swam by playfully. My husband and granddaughter were standing nest to me. I said look now here comes the waves from all the splashing. The waves were clear blue water. My grand mother always said if the water is clear that is good but if the water is murky then that is bad. Just after we saw the seals 2 huge orcas swam by, whith most of their bodies extended from the water. I stood in shock. Probably because I knew in my dream and as I sit here now that it meant something significant. Help! What could this possibly mean.

  4. I was getting into a holden ute with my younger cousins and my guy friend who happened to be my boyfriend in the dream. So my boyfriends friend pick us all up my younger cousins jump on the back of the tray and me and my boyfriend next to each other sharing the seat in the car. Anyway we’re all going to the beach. The driver was driver was driving too fast along the whalf and almost hit a family fishing so the car goes out of control and cause we were going to fast we didn’t stop in time before the end of the whalf so I tols everyone to jump. We all jumped and landed into a tuna breeding/net all of a sudden I saw a killer whale fin. We were swimming in a killer whale net. I saw everybody else in the water with me and dragged most of them out. But when we jumped out we jumped out of what seemed to be the side a building holding these things. After I jumped out I saw my brother still in the I was going to grab him but he swam down and his legs looked like seal legs so I left him to find my boyfriend who at a bar down the road.

  5. I dreamt that I was fighting with my friend Alisha and felt the need to keep walking away. She kept following me and trying to argue so I felt the only way to get rid of here was to go back to when I was a child and I did not know her. So I crossed a zip line which let me grow back into being a child when I landed. I could see Alisha at the top but she was not willing to go across the zip line. Where I landed was a deserted small beach. I started to swim out into the water. The farther I went out the more I became an adult again. I got far enough to a point where I could not touch or even see a bottom but far ahead of me a pod of various aged orcas appeared. I was terrified and started sinking in the water as I watched them jump over me. One of the only things im “afraid of” are killer whales but it was actually beautiful. I was right below the beam of light from the sun as I watched them leaping over me. I started to swim back to shore and when I reached it I remained an adult and Alisha was still waiting for me on top of the zip line.

  6. I dream about Orca’s very often. Usually I’m in a pool with about 3 of them and I can’t get out. I also sometimes have this same dream involging sharks.

    • I think an explanation of what orcas mean depends on your personal perception of them. Same thing with all other objects in dream interpretation.

      Orcas have been my favorite animal since I was 5 and I have spent a lot of time thinking about them, daydreaming about them, and drawing them. In my whole life, I’ve only had 4 or 5 dreams that I remember of them and they were all pleasant. Even before these, I would have dreams of swimming and I was able to breathe from a bubble that went from my nose to my chin, like the bubblehead charm in Harry Potter. The whale dreams involve me swimming, playing, and interacting with them in positive ways, usually in the water. I have never flown in my dreams, but I have daydreamed about it.

      The dream I had last night, I was able to connect to my life as I recently worked at an animal shelter, and the orcas were in an animal shelter. I connected with one that had a skin condition which caused peeling and pink patches that the whale to enjoyed to have scratched. I pulled his head up onto my knees as I sat on the edge with my feet in the water and he just enjoyed me scratching his patches.

      It was very vivid and this was only one small part of the dream.

  7. My first orca dream. I had 4 orcas. The bigggest which fit in a large plastic storage bin. The second and third (one larger then the other) were in a large deep 24 inch bowl. And the fourth was in a smaller bowl. i had to keep adding water and I sometimes forgot to keep an eye on them. So they began fading, like drying out and almost dying. So I wanted to put them all in our bath tub, but my mom refused. Whales symbolize protection because they are known to follow, protect and keep an eye on people who are at sea. The movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks is a great example of a hump back that keeps an eye on him.

  8. I had a dream I was deep sea fishing. Someone else on the boat was struggling trying to reel a fish in. I offered to take over and a long fight between the fish and I ensued. After a great battle I began to see the shadow of a GIANT hammerhead shark form underneath the water (me with my tiny fishing rod). As it rose higher towards the surface it turned out to be an orca whale. I remember feeling scared but also feeling bad for the whale and then the dream became about helping the whale so it didnt have to drag a fishing pole around for the rest of its days. So vivid.
