Hi! I had a true whale story that really touched me at the beginning of the summer, and when i saw your post I thought I would relay it to you.
I was searching for a local church... before I went to my first meeting, I heard this story:
A whale had gotten entangled in fisherman's nets off the coast in CA...it was struggling for it's life, and was about to go under for good. People noticed and sent an SOS out for help to get the poor animal untangled. Divers soon arrived and at great risk to their own lives, dove in and started to cut the nets off the whale to free it's movements so it could survive.
They worked and worked, and one diver who was cutting line by line, net by net off from around the head of the whale said he would never forget how the eye of the whale watched his every move with his knife as he was cutting...one splash of the whales great tail could have killed them, one "roll over" in the water would have done it also - but the whale "knew" the men were there to help, and stayed still and let them do their work.
Finally they cut all the nets off and the whale was free - instead of just swimming off and getting the heck out of there, the whale did loop-d-loops and swam around the divers and boats in circles in the water - full of the joy and relief of freedom !
THEN the whale came up close to the divers still in the water, and nudged each one, as if to say THANK YOU! I cried when I read this ...
Well, I went to the little church, and asked the Lord to get through to me in some way during the service... The meeting was wonderful! I really enjoyed worshiping with my brothers and sisters there! As the meeting drew to a close, the pastor started talking off the cuff about JONAH and the WHALE a litle bit... it hit me. I started to tear up. I felt like the whale (still do)... I need the nets cut off of me.
I don't know if any of this helps, or lends anything to this WHALE dream, but your post reminded me of that. I thought I would post it for you anyway
Love

Hi Sister,
He taught you, and He brought you through. You have been blessed! Yes?
Difficult, I know. He will bring those across your path, or driveway, or sidewalk
or road...that you need, when you need it. He will allow you time to meditate upon
and decompress from your experience...then will begin a NEW THING in you.
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not upon your own understanding...
Shalom,
