Purple Dolphin in dreams

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

How purple changes the reading

Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.

The base reading of Dolphin

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.
