ORCA DREAM ANALYSIS:
So. If there is one truth in the world, it’s that reading other people’s dreams is terribly boring. For some reason. Nonetheless:
Orcas can mean an opportunity, protection, transformation; pod can represent family, community, team. The two were in the distance and swam straight towards me; that means it is not a distant opportunity but one coming close to me. I felt comfortable with them, so it is a good omen. I also could move easily in their environment. I did not have to swim. I went to the floor quite fast feet first not head first and hung suspended mid-way underwater without paddling or moving my arms. As I said the floor was deep (800-2000 feet) for a tank but shallow for the sea. There were maybe 20-30 other orcas around. Let’s say 25. I saw some and felt the presence of others.
The fact that I woke up and read an article about orcas gives more clues. First of all the orcas in the article were named Starboard and Port. Boat terms. Can mean “ships coming in” another good omen. For me personally, though, as a coxswain it has another meaning. I need the port & starboard rowers to move in unison for the boat to move. The oars are on either side of me. I sit facing them, usually. So these two orcas can symbolise security or protection on my left and my right. Also movement forward, propelling me faster. And balance with both sides moving and acting together in synchronous cooperation.
The floor of the sea was industrial not like a natural ocean floor. Human-made not nature-made. A tank floor with no sides.
The orcas in the article were attacking or eating a shark. Whales & sharks. Makes me think of investment lingo. When I searched “whale meaning investor” almost all results came up as “Crypto-Whales” a fifth down as “Bitcoin-Whale” but not traditional investment explanations. If I looked up the difference between “whales” and “sharks” in the investment world — it’s called Shark Tank not Whale Tank, for example, recall that industrial sea floor — whales hold lots of capital, emerge rarely, are patient, have a long-term strategy, but when they do move they move markets. Sharks are more short-term and potentially leave a bloody mess. That would mean I’m safe from sharks because they ate the shark. No sharks anywhere in my dream, just whales. A whole pod of whales. Especially two.
Finally, I was certain the fish I was holding was not a salmon or a cod. Perhaps it was a tuna. Although, tuna can be larger than salmon. In any case, I certainly do not need to feed the orcas—they can take care of themselves.
