Elephant Dream
I find myself in a park near my home. It’s a gorgeous day—the sun is shining, the air feels crisp and clean, and the temperature is perfect. I am walking alongside a close friend, tracing the shallow waters of a stream that winds its way to the ocean.
Suddenly, something catches my eye. To my right, in the distance, is an amazing sight: a large elephant and her baby. They are entering the water together. The mother elephant shows tenderness as she gently uses her trunk to guide her calf into the stream. I am awestruck, stunned by the grandeur of this natural scene and what appears to be the profound and loving bond between mother and child.
Understanding the Dream
At first glance, this dream feels idyllic. It unfolds on a beautiful day, in the company of a trusted friend, culminating in the awe-inspiring vision of a loving elephant mother and her calf. However, there’s an underlying dissonance—the dreamer resides in New Jersey. The question that has to be asked to understand the dream is, “Do elephants roam freely in New Jersey?” The answer is NO.
This dream seems to urge introspection. It invites the dreamer to examine her beliefs, behaviors, perceptions, and emotional responses. In particular, it may highlight relationships with maternal or feminine figures in her life, encouraging her to explore the dynamics of care, love, and support.
