Reoccurring Dream: Please, please help if you have any experience in dream reading!?

I'm at a public park of some kind. There is a murky "pool" of water with stadium seating around it and a lot of people. They have come to see the "seals" in the water. People can pay a man some money and he will force one of the trained seals to drag them across the pool. A seal begins dragging me, but I notice that its fur is falling out and its eyes are cloudy and sickly, like the muddy, dirty water.

Somehow I am informed that when you make the seals work all day long pulling people across the water, it ruins all their happiness and playfulness and makes them essentially slave-like, just trying to survive. In my dream I hear that they are reduced to an "emotional state".

Upset, I let the seal dragging me go and begin to swim back on my own to the other side of the pool. On the way back another seal rises from the water and playfully checks the side of my body. Unlike the other seals, his fur is dark, thick, and healthy. And he is not forced to drag any tourists across the lake. I realize he is free.

Then I wake.
