The whale is the largest being of the deepest waters — the great presence of the unconscious itself. Whale dreams are often numinous: encounters with something vast, ancient, and singing in frequencies below ordinary hearing. Jonah was swallowed by the whale and emerged transformed; the whale in dreams often precedes deep transformation.
