Baby Dolphin in dreams

Intelligent play — the part of life that is serious and joyful at once.

In its baby form, the symbol points to a new, vulnerable instance of itself — something that requires care, cannot yet defend itself, and may not yet be ready for the world. Forgetting or losing the baby version of the symbol in the dream is one of the dictionary's strongest signals of neglect.

A dolphin in a dream is the dictionary's image of intelligent play. The dolphin is one of the few animals that the dream uses to mean both seriousness and joy at once.

A dolphin swimming alongside you is the dictionary's image of companionship from a part of yourself you do not always remember you have access to.

Where you often see it. A dolphin in clear water. A dolphin briefly alongside a boat. The dream uses the dolphin for intelligent play — the part of life that is serious and joyful at once.

What it is not. A dolphin is not always literal sea-imagery. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's most playful intelligence.

Related in the dictionary. Read dolphin with sea, fish (its quieter relative), and any scene of intelligent joy in motion.
