What seems to be true is that killer whales have a lot of meaning for you. They are wild, potentially dangerous animal that is also capable of playing with humans. You cross paths with them, and in your two example dreams, it's the captive whale that gives you all the trouble, while the one at sea plays nicely. So it leads me to wonder what, in your life, orcas represent. Is there a wild part of yourself that feels best when it is allowed to roam? Is there someone in your life who seems wild and you feel it would be best to let them live and let them be?
