I don't remember exactly how the dream itself started...well, actually, I think it morphed from another weird dream I had the same night. But anyway, in it I am speaking telepathically with some killer whales, a mamma and a baby. The baby was having some boyfriend (boywhale? whalefriend? er, whatever...) troubles and the mamma was telling me - telepathically - to talk to the baby about it. So I gave my counselling and advice as best I could. Did I mention this was all done telepathically? I am guessing that all parties involved lived happily ever after, even though there was no distinct ending.

And also I remember thinking in the dream how it would be so nice if these whales weren't classified as "killer" anymore. They deserve better.

In truth, I'm actually more curious about the whale aspect of it than the telepathy. I've come to the tentative conclusion that the latter is something that is presently manifest in my life. Since I had this dream a few weeks ago, I've noticed a sharp increase in the amount of mind-reading I've been consciously aware of. That, and also the amount to which I control my own thoughts being sent out. Does that make any sense?

After I posted I realized that this particular species of whale might be closer to the dolphin family than any other, but it's good to know that both dolphins and whales are in the same metaphysical category

Whales are the classical symbol for Creation, Power of song (the humpback whale is most noted for its wonderful song, sung by males, and each breeding season brings with it corresponding song changes) and Awakening inner depths.

Because of the song aspect I found it interesting that you communicated without sound; telepathically...

Whales also have a form of sonar or echo-location. This sensitivity to sound again links the whale to the primal creative sounds of life.

So... maybe this built-in sonar is the whale's connection to your sharpened mind-reading ability?

But yes. Getting back on track here...

As I read through your post Evergreen, the first thing that struck me was the phrase 'Awakening inner depths'. I was going to say this in my original post but didn't know if it was relevant to the dream. Apparently it is! It definitely feels like I'm going through a major evolution (if that's the correct word) right now. Everything seems like it's changing. It's a very queer feeling, but at the same time exciting. I mean, I'm not even sure if all ten of my fingers would be enough to list off all the things that I'm noticing. A few examples for illustration:

+ There's the telepathy, which I've always been pretty good at unintentionally, but now it seems I have more direct control over it

+ I've been feeling vibrations around me, spirit guides I assume, urging me to meditate, as odd as that sounds.

+ just the other night I was talking to an old friend and somehow the conversation turned into me giving him a "psychic reading"...I don't know how else to describe it, but things were just flowing out of me; specific things he could immediately verify.

+ I've been astrally connecting like crazy with people in my dreams moreso now than in the past.

+ spurts of random telekinesis (i.e. opening doors without touching them...and no, not just the grocery store's automatic sliding ones ) -- since I was very young I've unintentionally altered, even destroyed, many electronics due to flaring emotions, but now it's not limited to electrical things, and moreover there are no emotion flares...it just happens.

And there's many more where those came from! Next thing you know, I'll be levitating. Which is on my list of things to learn, by the way. Everything is coming at me from all directions, but strangely enough it's not too terribly overwhelming. It's actually quite calm. Maybe I'm just in the eye of the storm though.

I don't know exactly what's going on or where these preparations (that's what they feel like) will necesarily take me, but I'm not complaining!

Just to rule something out (or in) though -- and this might be more appropriate in another forum, but while I'm here -- would I know if I've changed bodies? I know all the memories of the body would still be there, but is the actual swap something that you consciously realize? I feel like me, but sometimes I wonder...

Thank you for your interpretations Evergreen! It certainly has been enlightening
