How did the you in the dream feel and react?
The suicide part isn't too hard to understand in context. I think it's a good thing that he realized that people would help him and that he wanted to live.
Dolphins are usually associated with being helpful and friendly and saving people on occasion. Is it possible that you see that even those who are trying to be helpful might overwhelm and engulf and prevent him from reaching shore under his own power? Maybe the dolphin swam off only to spit him safely up elsewhere. But still, that would mean overriding his own efforts to reach safety.
If that idea has any validity at all, it's an interesting juxtaposition isn't it? The man was grateful for those who saved him when he jumped, but the dolphin was a threat because it wouldn't allow him to save himself.
But I'm lousy at dreams, and I'd put absolutely no reliance whatsoever in anything I say on the topic.
My therapist always listens with interest to my dreams but then forces me to come up with my own interpretation. He says that it's my dream and my own ideas and associations would be more meaningful than his. How would you interpret your dream?
