Orca
Orcas, Killer whale, Killer whales
The orca is the top hunter of the ocean, sleek and astonishingly smart, yet many orcas live in close family pods that stay together for life. Its other name, killer whale, makes it sound fierce, but in a dream an orca is more often about loyalty, teamwork and power used with skill. Pods have their own calls and hunting styles, passed from mothers to their young, so one can be about family traditions and the know-how you inherit. Seeing orcas leap and play suggests a confident, joyful energy in a group you belong to.
