| Envisioning yourself by the shoreline and seeing a whale washed ashore is usually a warning about upcoming hardships. For instance, you or a loved one could experience a major misfortune or tragedy, such as an accident or a serious illness. The enormous size of the beached whale is a metaphor for the heavy burden that would fall on you or your loved ones as you cope with the repercussions or further concerns associated with the unexpected challenge. It would likely take a lot of time and effort for those involved or affected and it would require the help of others to overcome it. |  |
