Dolphins in the water
Swimming with dolphins
Moving together through the water can evoke trust and a sense of emotional connection. Consider whether you felt carried along by the encounter or free to choose where you went.
Dolphins in turbulent water
Rough water can reflect unsettled feelings. A dolphin still moving through it may bring to mind the adaptability you need to cope with the situation.
Playing or leaping out of the water
A playful dolphin puts the emphasis on enjoyment. Recall whether the scene felt spontaneous and whether you have been missing that kind of freedom or ease.
