Vulgar Whale??

[theyoungone]

Will you please make sense of this dream I had last night?

Okay I can only remeber the end, but I was with a big group of aquaintances. A lot of people I don't particularly like actually. We were going to Sea World or some aquatic themed park. During this I was asked to substitute as a volunteer for dealing with the Killer Whale show. I thought this was a grand idea. Anyways, I'm pretty sure I was with my French teacher and a group of classmates, and we were all dressed in my tennis team shirt from last year. I told them about my new volunteering position and they all thought it was a really bad idea, at first I was really excited, then I started to get really freaked out.

Right before I was suppose to go volunteer they were all "Oh don't worry about it, I'm sure it will be fine!" So I go out there, and there's this huge audience in the stand. There's this enormous pool that's insanely deep surrounded by concrete, and the concrete is surrounded by what appears to be a bottomless lake, which is surrounded by a large fence.
Well the Killer whale resides in the pool.
There are about... 4 other volunteers.

The whale, comes out of the pool and starts taunting one of the female volunteers, he picks her up and throws her in the pool, and bad mouths the other volunteers. Not in a humorous 'I'm so gangsta' way, but in a seriously messed up kind of sadistic psycho way. The volunteer starts screaming for help and trying to get out of the pool, and she manages to do that, but the whale chases after her and twists her body into an awkward position and.. I'll just say it, proceeds to dry hump her. There was no sex, but it was definitely a violation. She's crying and she runs to this little area off to the side of the pool that juts out and leads to a little octagonly shape surrounded by a fence that covers that top to -so a cage kind of- It's suppose to be a safe zone apparently. If at anytime you feel dangered you're supposed to go to that little area and it's against 'the rules' for the whale to attack you there.

Well the whale wasn't having that, he mocks her for thinking she's safe, and he.. walks over there and kills her. Now he's mocking the other volunteers, I have no idea what to do, I'm utterly horrified, I'm thinking of an escape, I notice an opening in the fence, but I'd have to swim across the lake and that really scares me for some reason. I kind of imagined in my dream that huge snake-like creatures would be in there, just something worse than the whale. Also I know the whale would notice what I was doing and probably treat me the same way he treated the other volunteer. Then I look over to the other volunteers and I'm wondering how to help them get safely out. I almost don't want to worry about them, I just want to think of myself and get me out, but I know that's wrong, So I slowly make my way over to another volunteer and tell her to run out the nearest exit, which happens to be very close to her, but the whale realizes and he comes and gets me, but he's nice for some reason. Still vulgar to everyone else, and very unpleasant, but we perform a trick together, I stand on his nose, and he flips me into the air and I land in the pool. I am still insanely scared, and I'm wondering how to get away safely. Being in the water is just horrifying to me because he went underneath the water and I don't know where he's at, I think I managed to get out of the pool, and then I woke up.


I get frustrated with my dreams because they almost never have any spiritual meaning, they just seem like.. inane nonsense. This was one of my more unpleasant ones.

Please tell me what this could possibly mean.

I find the dream very interesting because it is simular in theory to many of mine. The whale sugests very strongly the "outside world" we need to enter to get a job; find a mate or seek new friends; or start or run a new business ect. The rules of reality are frightening because they are so fatal and not always obvious! The scenario of a sexual violating whale also points up the other awkward factor: we can be terribly humiliated in the process of risking out necks out there.

The fact you were able in your dreams to do a performance with the whale is encouraging but apparently not totally convincing to your ego either. "Why poor little me?" "Anything thing could happen!" The fact that nothing did happen to you is very telling. No premonition of death here but the effort to live with yourself and the others is still very scary.

Hello theyoungone,

Its been a while since I've seen you on the dream board, so welcome back.

The dream starts with you being with a group of friends or people. In dream symbology, the people around us, represent the many aspects that make up ourselves. They can also represent the many traits and qualities that we admire, or wish to emulate. Or they can represent aspects of ourselves, that need working on.

Its interesting you say that many of these people you in life don't actually like very much. Think about why you don't like these people and consider the possibility that this might have a message for you. Take a look at your life, are you happy with what you are doing, or the way in which you sometimes deal with situations or people. Are there parts of you that you feel if you are being honest need working on. This is only a suggestion to you youngone, only you know if this is meaningful.

You go to Sea World and are asked to help out with the 'Killer Whale Show'. Its interesting how the words Killer Whale always elicit a frightened response. Let me share with you some information about this beautiful creature.

Killer whales or orcas are extremely intelligent beings. They live in matriarchal pods and some scientists believe they have a culture of their own that is passed down from one generation to the next.

They are also apex pr editors, that is, they have few, if any natural enemies. The name orca comes from the Latin genus name "Orcinus" which means "of the kingdom of the dead" or "belonging to Orcus", this is where the name Killer Whale comes from. Taken out of context I believe.

Mainly relationships between humans and killer whales are positive ones. They represent emotional intelligence, optimism, playfulness, wisdom, and communication. They are also wild animals so the tone of the dream is important as they can be unpredictable. So are very much about the emotional energy of the dreamer. The ocean being a huge source of life force energy too, makes the whale a extremely powerful animal symbol or as in some cultures a very powerful totem.

So for me youngone, this is a very powerful dream. A lot going on here in terms I feel of your own emotional growth and looking at integrating aspects of yourself more harmoniously. I feel there is a lot of upheaval going on below the surface of life at the moment for you. Also much inner turmoil and conflict. I would suggest you meditate on the Whale in your dream, as I feel that it is there for guidance. In the dream the whale did not harm you, but other members of your group. When we dream of things being killed off in our dreams, it is about getting rid of things that we no longer need or are harmful to us. Symbolically, consider that the whale was trying to help you to see that.

I would not worry to much about the inappropriate behaviour you saw in the whale towards one of the female volunteers. In dream symbology this type of intimate connecting is to do with the exchange of energy and not the literal act that we see it as in waking life. As a totem, the Whales energy is immensely powerful. Taken in this context one could see it as a injection of life force to strengthen the recipient to find the will and clarity to find a way forward in life that will be more fulfilling and make them ultimately happier once they have let go of any negativity that is holding them back.

The rest of the dream is about trying to escape from a anxious situation and being afraid. When we are wrestling with difficult situations in our waking life, they can often manifest as an anxiety or nightmare type dream. This is to impress upon us the importance of the dream message, so we don't forget it. What scares you, makes you sit up and pay attention doesn't it

I hope that I have given you something to think about youngone. This is only my interpretation of your dream. Please only take from it that which is meaningful to you, and leave the rest.

Love and light
Kaz
