I'm writing this in Feb. 2011 but it is from a long time ago... Not sure when... but the date is a guess...
This one is simple:
I'm flying underwater, no need to breath. I'm not swimming, I'm flying.
I can see the shoreline, and the land slopes down gently until it reaches a cliff and drops off into the deep sea. Hundreds of Whales are lined up along the cliff all looking out to the deep see. There are many different kinds of whales.
I am flying through them, admiring them and loving them and they are all in this deep meditative state focusing on some unknown point/entity/goal out in the sea.
To dream that you are underwater, suggests that you are being overcome with emotions and are in over your head regarding some situation. You need to gain greater control of your life.
To dream that you are breathing underwater, represents a retreat back into the womb. You want to return to a state where you were dependent and free from responsibilities. Perhaps you are feeling helpless, unable to fulfill your own needs and to care for yourself. Alternatively, breathing underwater is analogous to being submerged in your own emotions.

The symbolic significance of the sea corresponds to that of the ‘Lower
Ocean’—the waters in flux, the transitional and mediating agent between the nonformal (air and gases) and the formal (earth and solids) and, by analogy, between
life and death. The waters of the oceans are thus seen not only as the source of life
but also as its goal. ‘To return to the sea’ is ‘to return to the mother’, that is, to die.
To see the sea in your dream, represents your unconscious and the transition between your unconscious and conscious. As with all water symbols, it also represents your emotions. The dream may also be a pun on your understanding and perception of a situation. "I see" or perhaps there is something you need to "see" more clearly. Alternatively, the dream indicates a need to reassure yourself or to offer reassurance to someone. It brings about hope, a new perspective and a positive outlook on life no matter how difficult your current problems may be.
