Interpreting your dream starts with remembering what your dream was about. Developing the habit of writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up is the best way to train your brain to remember the dream. Keep a notebook beside your bed to use as a dream journal.  You can also use apps developed for your phone. Some apps even check for patterns, or help with dream interpretation. You can also use a voice recorder on your phone, if writing is hard for you upon first waking up. Your feelings about seeing the whale or dolphin provide useful information about its meaning. For instance, if you felt happy upon seeing a dolphin, or if you were swimming among dolphins with delight, this might mean that you want to be more carefree in your life. If you are scared of a dolphin, it might mean that you're going through a stressful time, and are afraid of losing control.  Write down every feeling you have in association with your dream, even if it doesn't make sense. Don't allow your conscious (waking) mind to filter out the messages you're being given by your unconscious (dreaming) mind. If you are the whale or dolphin in your dream, think about how it felt to take that shape. Did you feel more free, confident, happy? Or were you lonely, fearful, and uneasy? Remember that all elements in the dream are potentially meaningful. It's a mistake to focus on only one element of your dream. Was the whale or dolphin in the water, or was it on land? If you dream about an animal out of its natural habitat, this might indicate that you're feeling uncertain about your place in the world. If it's underwater, be aware that often underwater dreams may symbolize the dark side of human nature, elements of our being that we may not want to look at.  Dreaming about a dolphin indicates your willingness to listen to your subconscious, or your emotions.  Dolphins are usually inspirational images in dreams, symbolizing optimism and social altruism. In a dream, every element is important. When you're trying to interpret your dream involving a whale or dolphin, think about everything you can remember from your dream. Even the most minor dream details have meaning.  Some dream interpreters feel that the dreamer is every element within his dream. For example, if you dream about a school of dolphins playfully swimming in the surf until a fishing net captures them, one interpretation would be that you're trying to control your own playful nature. If you dream about trying to save a whale or dolphin, this may mean that you're trying to salvage an important relationship, or some part of yourself that's in danger of dying. As mammals who live underwater, both whales and dolphins symbolize the merging of the conscious and the unconscious. When either appear in a dream, this may be a sign that it's time for you to act on something you've been holding inside, or speak your truth regarding an issue that's important to you.  A whale often symbolizes awareness and intuition. Dreaming of a whale often means its time for you to listen to your inner voice. Because a whale is the largest mammal in the world, dreaming of a whale may symbolize that you're feeling overwhelmed.Do Think about anything specific you can recall about your animal. For example, was the dolphin in your dream swimming alone, or in a group? Did it appear healthy? Or was it sickly? If you dream about a whale or dolphin that is dying, this might mean that you are feeling disconnected from your inner self.
