What does it mean to dream of an elephant?

Answer 1

To see an elephant in your dream, suggests that you either need to be more patient and understanding of others. The elephant is also a symbol of power, strength, and intellect. Alternatively, as a creature with an introverted nature, the elephant may thus be depicting your own personality.

To dream that you are riding an elephant, indicates that you are in control of your unconscious and aspects that you once were afraid of.

Answer 2

The image of a dead elephant has come to represent an all-encompassing problem that no one dares mention. So this dream probably refers to some issue that effects every aspect of the dreamer's life, yet is strictly ignored. Typical problems that fall into this category include Alcoholism and other addictions, underlying relationship issues, chronic illness and mental illness, among other things.

Answer 3

To see an elephant in your dream indicates that you need to be more patient or more understanding of others. Or perhaps there is a memory that you are holding on to for too long. You need to let go of the past. The elephant is also a symbol of power, strength, faithfulness and intellect. Alternatively, the elephant's introverted personality may be a reflection of your own personality. In particular, if you see a white elephant, then it symbolizes royalty.

Answer 4

The dream suggests running from or avoiding a problem or confrontation that one fears may be enormous and overwhelming. The solution is to stop running (both in the dream and in real life) and face the issue head on.

Answer 5

This dream could have many different meanings depending on the context and content of the dream. It might refer to the Republican Party (U.S.A.) in a positive or negative way, determined by what the elephant is doing. Or it might represent a "huge" problem or an "enormous" opportunity - again, depending on what is happening in the dream. Or it might refer to the elephant's supposedly good memory.

Answer 6

An elephant in a dream represents some issue that is enormous and dominates everything around it. But without further information it is not possible to say whether the elephant symbolizes a problem or a blessing.

Answer 7

The sick elephants constitute a metaphor that has some significance to the individual dreamer. Elephants could represent the U. S. Republican party or memory or simply something very large. In one case, the dream might express the dreamer's disgust with politics, or it could refer to someone with a sick memory as in dementia.

Answer 8

The elephant is a symbol for some very large, heavy or overwhelming factor in the dreamer's life. The pregnancy illustrates the dreamer's feeling that this factor is about to become even larger and more demanding.

Answer 9

An elephant can represent a large obstacle or problem that everyone seems to ignore. A "white elephant" may be a gift that is too good to refuse and yet will be problematic to accept.
