Whale in Dreams

Dreaming about a whale signifies power and strength. Everything being foretold by the dream is positive. Expect a good turn of events coming your way. Enjoy your business and love life with full confidence after dreaming about whales.

Your business will grow with unlimited success. And your relationships will be stronger and more intimate.

Also, whales in dreams are quite often connected with the deep unconscious or with a past life that is yet to be resolved. They represent the depths of our being, which we cannot fathom and feel compelled to explore.

  1. My dreams jump around,so first, I was with (I’m assuming) my boyfriend. I can’t usually see faces, just a feeling of who it is, and (again, I’m assuming) my son. But in the dream it’s not my son (in real life) because the boy in my dream is small (maybe 8?) whereas my own son is 33! The first part of the dream we are at some kind of amusement park (I think) and there is an orca whale, but there is no safety barriers around its pool. You can walk right up to the edge (just like a swimming pool). There is a building beside it (right on the edge of one side of the pool) and for some reason we are standing on this two inch edge right between the little building and the pool (with our backs pressed tightly to this little building, because it’s such a small ledge). At first it’s cool to be looking over, but then the whale starts coming up with its teeth showing like it’s going to eat (what I’m assuming is) my child. So I’m trying to distract it by splashing on the water, but then I realize I think that calls a whale up! Somehow we get of the ledge and are safe.
    Then we are a couple of floors up, looking down on a large body of water (like the ocean, but it’s in a bay) and I notice a HUGE fish. I realize it’s not normal. It’s larger than anything I’ve ever seen. I call my bf and my son to look. Then I see it swim to another section of the water where there are several more of these huge fish (maybe a dozen) and they all gather together and start splashing around in the water. Next thing I know we’re outside trying to go to the water (to see the fish) and my (son) is running ahead and I’m calling for him to wait for us, I’m calling him by name (in the dream his name is Jamie (my son is Joey, but my brother is Jamie)! For some reason as we’re trying to get to the water (and my son is running ahead, as I say Jamie wait for us) our path has bushes and I keep getting them in my face and in my mouth.
    And then my alarm went off and I woke up!

  2. In my dream last night, I was outside and looking up at the night sky. Suddenly, there was a pod of whales “swimming” in the sky. They looked like blue whales or humpback whales and they had white spots all over. They were very peaceful to watch. They just kept circling around in the sky.

  5. I had a dream that my girlfriend was walking along the coastline in Hong Kong. We were talking over a skype call when suddenly all these whales started to breach out of the water! Everyone was completely awe struck! Shortly after, while the whales are still breaching, I am awakened by a skype call from her, from Hong Kong…!

  6. I dreamt of a violent whale. I saw it’s fluke as it crashed into the water to try and drown me.

    I’ve been reading on Subjects concerning myself. I am trying to be more aware of my reckless behavior and learning to recognize them, This helps me gain perspective.

  7. My relationship recently ended and last night i had a dream that we were at a spot we would go to for fishing or just to relax. I was sitting on top of a wooden bridge while he was below me in the water all of a sudden two orcas were on oneside jumping in the air as if they were giving us a show. All of a sudden about 12 of them followed. In the dream my ex ran and found himself cornered to where they attacked him and swam away. I then swam towards him and I wanted to call an ambulance but he swore he was ok. As we were walking we saw a tent full of doctors that gave him stiches for the huge gashes on his back and then the dream ended. I dont understand the significance of the dream.

  8. It was beautiful. It was almost dark and i was watching from the shore and saw one whale spurt, then another breach, then as i looked over the undulating waves there were literally hundreds of whales close to the surface of the ocean. It was getting darker but it was interesting that i could still see how many were there. I was excitedly pointing them out to someone next to me.

  9. I dreamt ywo whales aproached me , one of them came out of the water completely to greet me and let me pet it. It came out of the water repeatedly to make sure i knew it came to see me, and until i touched it, and acknowledge it was there, then slowly behan to retract into water and swim away. It was really intense, i was not scared, but exited. It was so real, i still feel how i touched it.

  11. I had a dream that I was sitting on the edge of an indoor swimming pool – very similar looking to my local pools. In the dream a huge killer whale nearly filled the entire pool. I sat with him and felt a very deep love and connection for him. A little girl was sat next to me – girl did not appear look like anyone I knew in real, but again I ft a strong connection. The little girl then fell into the pool and the whale lifted her up in his mouth and went to pass her to me. He then suddenly changed and started thrashing about in the pool and we were terrified of him. Water was going everywhere and we couldn’t get out. All the this was going on I still felt this very deep love and sadness for him. It was like I was in some kind of relationship with him. We couldn’t get out of the room the pool and whale was in but it was also like I didn’t want to leave him.

    I have also had another dream since then, about 2 weeks later, where I was sitting on a beach with another child I think she was a girl too perhaps a little older – again I don’t know who she is in real life. The beach is full of people. I start talking to the girl about a real life conversation I had with a friend when she told me of her experience of seeing of dolphins, then as I am tell the girl in my dream of this dolphins appear swimming very close to us on the shore line so close they are swimming in and out of the people how are paddling. Then one person starts trying to mess about with them and a small killer whale appears. This person tries to harm the killer whale. All the while I feel myself getting very distressed and protective. The person then disappears but the whale keeps trying to get on the beach, even appearing to walk on his tail? I keep trying to put him back in the water but he keeps repeating this. Eventually it’s like he agrees and goes back, but I find myself agreeing to move to a house closer to the sea (a place in real life where my grandfather live) so I be closer to the whales

  12. I often have a dream that feels real about commuting over a canal in my city on a bridge on foot. pieces of the bridge are missing, i might fall. suddenly i hear whale song and i wonder if the whales are back, (in the back of my mind i remember that whales never come to my city, but it is overruled) i look through the holes in the bridge and i see the canal is filled with whales swimming against the current like salmon, but they never jump. i quickly make it over the bridge to the other side to watch them, there are hundreds! too large to be a real pod, but there are babies and gnarly old ones, always humpback whales. I continue to watch until my logic makes it impossible and the dream ends

  15. I had a dream where I was on a ship with my mom having a wonderful day. I then look out and noticed the beach and how beautiful it was outside. I ran outside and had a big smile because of how blue the sky was, then all of a sudden I saw a huge beautiful whale breaching out. She was so close to me! the water was as blue as the sky, and then more whales follow. I was so happy, taking pictures. Couldn’t not believe the beauty. Then I tried to go back to the ship. It was hard to get back to it, felt some heaviness in my body, but then got there. The ship had almost left me behind, but I made it. My mom was not even worried about me not making it back to the ship. It was as if she knew I would make it back.

  16. I had a dream last night where me and my aunt where standing on the coast but it was our farm and we heard a strange noise. Next about 5 to 7 baby humpback whales came towards us and we petted them as i was petting them i felt so calm almost a peace if you will. Then they just swam away and we could see theirs tails splashing in the distance. Well before I had fallen asleep me and my boyfriend got into a bad fight and we broke up and he told me he was leaving. Could this dream have something to do with that situation??? I cant remember the last time I had a dream so real and I could actually remember all of it. I woke up still crying over my situation but pondering about what this dream could possibly mean.

  17. I dreamt I was in a high building over two large bodies of water and an orca whale was trying to get to the other body of water & each time it tried, another orca whale was taking it inside its mouth trying to eat it, there was also a baby orca whale trying to go to the other body of water as well.

  18. Mimi: I had a dream I was swimming in the ocean and a whale came by me very slow. I was able to look into his eye and I swam closer to it and was able to touch it. Once I did that it swam away. Odd since I’m not a big fan of the ocean, it was like I was scuba diving. Not a big fan of the wet suite either.

  20. I encounter a wise old Indian man, patchwork coat, long gray braids. I told him I liked his coat. I was attracted to him and tried to get him to come to bed with me. He was not interested.

    Next ,I am standing on top of sea wall where at inlet is, the tide is wahing in and out. I see the old Indian man. He is petting two whales that have come in with the tide into the inlet. When the tide flows back out so do the whales. When the tide waters flow in so do the whales. I was so excited! I jumped down onto the sand anxious to pet a whale. The tide washes in, along with a whale the slide right up to me. Just as I was going to touch it, my dog barked and woke me out of this dream.

  21. I had a dream where there was an abundance of Whales. We were in a house in Hawaii. No matter where you were in the house the whales could be seen from every view. They were close and they seem to be very playful. My 2 nieces were in the dream and on one wall there were some type of computers or phone units mounted onto the wall. We began to press the buttons. When I woke up I felt so happy like only God sent me this dream with an abundance of whales and water. I felt like some thing good is coming.

  22. This is because our perception of reality and fantasy are often shaped by our personal experiences of life, the fears we face, the confrontations we ve experienced, our regrets, our happiness and our desires. Therefore the meaning a whale has in your dream can be vastly different from the meaning it has in someone else s dream, even when those dreams are very similar.

  23. I live right next to a river. Naturally I was at home and we were having a party celebrating something important, I do not recall what it was about though. There were a few people around me, we walked down towards the river bank and all the sudden I saw a gigantic blue whale swimming from the left, flowing with the current of the river. The problem though, is that the whale barely fit in the river, it couldn’t dive completely under and half its body was above the surface. The whale did not go slow like you’d think, it was extremely fast. In the dream I felt terrified but with a sense of wonder and excitement. After a few moments the whale somehow turned around the other way and it dived completely under, confusing me even in the dream world. I somehow ended up in the river, I remember a few close friends yelling for me to come back, but when I turned around to look at them I was already in the middle of the river. At this time I tried my hardest to swim back, but I didn’t get but a few feet when the whale resurfaced upstream and started swimming at me. I was scared and yet couldn’t move to do anything, but then the I saw the whale’s eyes and I felt as peace. The whale ended up singing at me and then swam with me by its side back to the river’s edge.
    that’s all I can really remember. I don’t know what it means with the whale being so large and not really fitting in the river.

  24. I had a dream, it goes like this. I was at the beach when suddenly I saw a whale just at the shores of the beach. I took pictures of while saying to myself, “If I tell people (my friends) they will not believe me, so the picture is proof of what I saw. Then the whale went back into the ocean and then from the same spot it vanished a man came forth wearing a slick suit looking all buttered up, he got into a flashy car and then asked me to drive car saying it was time to move; I replied say “yes sir, I’ll be right back”. I went into the house to tell my girlfriend and my elder sister that I’ve got a job and I’ll be leaving for the job now. Then I woke up. Please what does it mean?

  26. I had a dream that I saw a blue wale in the ocean. I was so excited to see it that I ran to my daughter & lil sister to come and see it. When I was back to the dock I pointed to it so they can see it. Then something strange happened, a man was trying to kill it and I was the only one that tried to stop the man from pericing its heart. But as soon as the man killed it everyone clapped with excitement. I was the only one sad. What dose this mean?

    • It sounds like you see something beautiful and precious and you want to share it with your family, Water can represent your unconscious mind so this beautiful precious things you want to share is actually some hidden deeper part of you that you are ready to reveal. Yet you don’t feel safe revealing this. In fact you feel everyone around you is trying to “kill” or stab this part of you and no one but you can see it. And at the end people applaud which would feel horrible to you as it would mean that people wanted this part of you to be killed or stifled. Maybe it’s your true self and you fear people will judge you (throw knives) and no one will see it but you. So perhaps you feel alone or separate from everyone else here. I think the dream means that there is something you feel is precious and hidden and you want to share it with others (the blue whale) but that you fear being judged or ridiculed and worry know one will see it or want to protect you but in fact will want to kill that part of you, or kill your true self. Of course this is JUST what you fear. Not what actually IS. I think it’s always worth it to share one’s real self with those you are close to or they’ll never know you and you’ll never be known.

  28. I had a dream this morning of a big room filled with water and rocks connected to the walls simulating the ocean and people were enjoying the water swimming far in it looking a sea creatures and I was looking around underneath and when I came up to the rock to sit I saw a baby killer whale on the rock and looked for a minute and let it back it the water with its mom that wasn’t to far. Anyone know what this means?

  31. What I remember.. I was crossing a bridge that was under construction and very close to the water line. I noticed a huge vessel trying to pass when a whale emerged and created a massive wave that encompassed the ship. The wave did not harm me and I could see the whale emerge yet again and looked back at me. I did not feel threatened, almost like we connected in some way. I awoke soon after and held a feeling of gentleness.

  33. I had a dream last night wherein I saw a humpback breach the water amidst a pod of dolphins. Everyone around commented on how unusual a whale in this area was. I grabbed my camera and ran and ran trying to get closer to get a picture. Just as I get where I need to be, a slatted wooden wall appears, blocking view, save for one small hole just large enough to get the smallest picture of the whale breaching. But I was not satisfied with this and found a way to circumvent the wall and again ran and ran until I reached a jetty. Just as I pull my camera out to take a picture of its final breach, the sun disappears over the horizon and my camera is now filled with water and will not work. It was so vivid and real – I’ve rarely been able to remember exact details of dreams before.

  36. I dreamt that the sky was clear blue ocean. But in it were 3 small tornadoes that stayed where they were and didn’t “touch down” to earth, but a killer whale fell from the sky. And I was so intrigued, but also had a sense of urgency to get my child to come across the street to get inside. I will say though that when I first went outside and saw the ocean-sky I was mesmerized…in awe. Until I saw the tornadoes and I knew I needed to protect my child. I’d also like to note that I dream of water ALL the time and have for years. Always clear…usually pools or weird waterslides. This was the first I’d had like this and first for the whale. It might be prudent to mention that in life I am drawn to water. Ocean, pools, waterfalls and the more turbulent it seems the more I want to get in it even though in some cases it would be fatal. Any thoughts would be welcome. I’m vexed.

  37. I dreamt that a whale was saving me. I was in the ocean & it took me to shore or a dock. The interesting part is that I sat in it’s mouth while it swam me to safety. I remember many sharp teeth. I don’t remember how the dream ended. I didn’t feel scared to be in the whales mouth. But for some reason I think it may have closed it’s mouth before I could get to the safety of land. I don’t remember this I just have the feeling that this is what happened. Comments welcome! 🙂

  44. I was situated on a high plataue looking down on a small lake that was formed by a earthen dam on one end. The dam seperated a water channel that led to a vast body of water. The whale was trapped in the small lake where it barly fit and didnt have much room to move around. As i looked down the whale began to puch against the dam under the water with only his tail exposed. I saw the dam began to move as he pushed. Then the hills and mountains surounding the valley lake began to shake violently including the plataue I was standing on. Then I woke up shaking because the power of the whale and the shaking as he pushed against dam to get free scared me. Only dream I ever had abought a whale. Scared the whale out of me! All the moutains and plataues were very green like a golf course, the dream was very vivid and life like.

  52. I’ve had multiple dreams about whales. Once I was at an amusement park when it was closed for some reason and I was trying to find my way out and I fell into the whale tank. It was very frightening because they weren’t very nice .. then I had a dream that you could pay to swim with whales but they were blue whales and one orca and they were really nice and we swam and did tricks it was so weird. I don’t know why I have recurring dreams about whales and me being in the water with them at parks not in the ocean.

    • As whales can mean calmness and theme parks can symbolise structure and boundaries perhaps you are coming to terms with new rules/ boundaries that are being set up for you but are at ease with this idea

  53. I dreamt that I found a baby Killer Whale, it was about 2 feet in length and could be held in two hands.
    It seemed to like me and I was not near any sea water, so I was looking for a container to place it in but was worried the water chemistry would kill it (fresh water or tap water vs. sea water). Finally, I came to a conclusion and felt at peace that the baby killer whale would survive. But I don’t remember following through (did i wake up? dream switch?). Either way, the emotion I got from the dream was happiness and caring for this animal.
    What the heck does this dream mean?

    • That is so strange. I had a very similar dream today. The little baby whale brought be so much happiness and feeling of love. I wish I knew the meaning

    • I also had one. I was def in the sea at an island. There were a bunch of animals and people in the water w/ me. Nothing stands out more then the baby killer whale. It was very tiny. Small enough to fit in my hand. There was another person there w/ me marveling at it. The baby whale had a beautiful blue light beaming out of it in a grid like pattern. It brought a strong sense of joy and peace. The next animal I noticed was a middle sized bear swimming to shore. I wasn’t worried, the bear seemed to be more interested in getting to shore then being a butt head. lol Next thing I remember is flying to what felt like the end of the world. It was surrounded by mountains and had a dock w/ what seems like the ruins of what used to be a boat house. There were row boats all over the place. I remember getting in one and that’s pretty much all I remember, but yeah. Baby killer whales. 😉

    • Hi! first thought, the whales are trying to get your attention! Have you been feeling powerless, dis-eased? Whales are strong and calm.:) depending on how the waters movement…it represents life situation…so maybe, what ever situation(water) may be happening around you, it is possible(wings) to be calm,strong and powerful(Whales) in your own state of being 🙂
