I dreamed my sister and I found a baby orca whale last night and had to save it.

At one point I carried the whale across a busy street! We were running! Oh, poor baby orca.

We got into a hospital, filled a bathtub with water, and plopped the baby in (you had to carry him with both arms wrapped around, he was a big sucker) so we could plot our next step. The ocean wasn't far, you see. I realized the baby needed salt water so I found a container of iodized table salt and poured some in.

When I woke up I thought about orcas, and Seaworld, and the degrading state of our oceans and earth, and I was sad.

But on the way in to work the radio played some pretty great music, so that helped a lot.

Edit: Also, I don't think I mentioned, but I went to the Philadelphia Zoo this weekend with the honey! It was nice. I saw a caged zookeeper:

I figure anyone who posts a dream is looking for some dream interpretation. Here's mine:

Let's assume that the baby whale is a projection of your inner landscape. If you were to go back into the dream and be the whale, how would you finish these sentences:

As the baby whale, I need . . . (to be saved? to be protected?)

On the other hand, you completely rise to the occasion and carry the whale to the hospital and add salt.

So maybe both parts of you are in that dream and they are currently struggling - the part of you that wants to be saved and protected and the part of you that says, look I can do this. I can carry a heavy load. I can get it do safety and plan the next step.

If I recall previous discussions about relationships . . .
