Porpoise

A porpoise — playful but easily lost from view — often touches enemies thrusting your interests aside through your own failure to hold people's interest. The dream may ask where you're losing others' attention and letting rivals slip past you, and whether a difficulty keeping people engaged is quietly costing you ground.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
