Old Dolphin in dreams

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

In its old form, the symbol carries long history — accumulated knowledge, accumulated weight, and the kind of presence that does not need to assert itself. Old versions of symbols in dreams are often offering you a sentence you needed to hear from someone who has seen many cycles.

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.
