Islamic Interpretation
(Fish, Jonah, Sea life) In a dream, a whale represents an oath, the temple of righteous people, and the prayer mat of the devotees. Seeing a whale in a dream also means strains, depression, loss of rank, or growing anger. Seeing the whale that swallowed God's prophet Jonah in a dream means dispelling one's fears, prosperity for a poor person, and the coming relief for someone in distress. In a dream, a whale also represents the chief minister of sea life, while the ocean represents the king or the ruler. (Also see Fish)
